This dishwasher is leaking. It’s a slow steady drip but it does accumulate quite a bit. I looked underneath the dishwasher, and the leak appears to be coming from the diverter motor .
I removed the diverter motor and I’m wondering how is it possible for it to leak in this area. At the bottom of this motor assembly there is water stains coming from the inside of the round tube like section.
Before I buy a new one I just wanted your feedback.
I remove the diverter motor. Inspected it and found like water stain at the bottom round tubular section of the assembly. It looks like a plastic piece with a round Motor device. I don’t see any over rings any sales or anything like that. But the leak is definitely coming from that area of the dishwasher.

Hello
Yes we have seen the diverter motor leak. If its an older unit it is advisable to replace the motor / diverter pump combination Part number: W10168823. Matt Ace technician

You are not going to believe this. I took the pump and motor assembly out, and attempted to put the new one in and it was the wrong part. So I went back and got the right part but forgot how to wire it back up. I forgot which mollexs go where? They all have three prong wire connections. Can you help me out with this???

Do you have the wiring diagram ? I removed the quick connects from the pump and motor assembly and now I don’t know what wire connects go where. I watched the video that you sent, but there were only 2-3 wires. I have 5 on this one. Thanks
