My Kenmore dishwasher has progressively gotten worse when it comes to cleaning dishes. Top rack has been the main area of unsatisfactory performance.
I’m already replacing the upper spray arm, but figured after reading online I’ll look at the Check Valve and Chopper Assembly. Well upon removing the Inlet Protector I find no Chopper Assembly. The Check Valve looks in good shape, but I’m going to replace it for good measure.
Now I plan on ordering a Chopper, but I’m wondering…since the dishwasher has been running without the Chopper Assembly, will that ruin other parts? Specifically the Motor Assembly it is attached to. Will I need to clean out other parts?
Oh and if you’re wondering how that happened, I’m assuming previous owner of house didn’t replace it…shrug. So it could have been running this way for a few years.
