Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I know if the diverter motor itself is bad, and not just the seal?
If the motor is making unusual noises, not rotating properly, or if the diagnostic mode shows a diverter motor error code, the motor itself may be faulty. Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the motor windings.
•What type of grease should I use on the new seal?
Use a food-grade silicone grease on the new seal to ensure proper lubrication and prevent premature wear. Avoid petroleum-based greases, as they can damage the seal.
•Where can I find the correct replacement diverter motor seal for my Whirlpool dishwasher model?
The best place to find the correct replacement seal is by using your model number on the Whirlpool parts website or appliancepartspros.com. This will ensure you get the exact part needed.
