My dishwasher pump is leaking at the point where the motor shaft enters the pump housing assembly. It leaks when the washer is in the wash and drain cycle. I think it might be the seal seat. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to disassemble the housing assembly and if you think I am right about the seal. Thanks
If there is nothing wrong with the motor itself then you probably can fix the leak by replacing the impeller and seal kit (#9 on the [B]AP2909490. Most of the time it’s not possible to unscrew the mounting disk (10) and it has to be chiseled out, so it’s better to order it together with the seal kit.
You have to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet. Unscrew the nut (10 on the diagram) and remove the lower spray arm. Carefully put the dishwasher on its back (be prepared for some water on the floor) and remove all clamps and nuts holding the pump. Remove the hoses and pull the pump assembly out.

Thanks Gene, and great tip about ordering the mounting disk along with the seal kit. I have followed these instructions on my Roper WU5750B0, and have chiseled out my mounting disk. Now what? What part should come off next, and how?
