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.

Yeah, the motor job was less than an hour. Not counting the day I wasted
last week tearing the old one apart. Only to realize the seals were not
built to be repaired.

Our Maytag Fridge and Stove are design disasters. We won't buy their
applainces again.

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?
