I just had the motor replaced in a 3 rack Maytag dishwasher. All the guy
did was drop it in. By the way the new motor, made in China, was noisier
then the old and the front panel board went out on the dishwasher a few
weeks later. This was the 4 th breakdown in a 2 year old Maytag dishwasher
and I trashed it. Even though the parts are guaranteed they are charging
$155 for labor so it was not worth sinking another penny into this trouble
plagued dishwasher. Before spending more money on yours, make sure it is
not one of their unreliable models like mine. You can check at epinions.com
for comments on your model. The 3 rack versions have a horrible collection
of complaints.

I just replaced the motor/pump in a Maytag dishwasher as the it was leaking
around the shaft of the motor. This all went well and the motor isn't
leaking anymore. BUT, there is serious leakage around the bottom of the
door. The DW is level, not overfilling and not leaking around the door side
seals. This only happens when the spray arm is active. So it would appear
that it is spaying against the bottom of the door. BUT, there are not any
obvious cracks in the spray arm, although it was removed of course. The
Spray arm is turning freely BTW.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the Ring seal not being seated
properly. Is there any trick to putting the seal back, ie. any particular
orientation?
