whirlpool gold gu1500xtk

The dishwasher tub fills with water, a motor hum comes on and the element heats up. It doesnt seem to do anything else. the timer seems to get stuck on 76…any ideas would great.

Thanks,

Joe

ok… upon doing some research and a little tinkering, i found that my chopper motor was frozen up. I was able to free it up and get it to work… well kind of! Now its making a aweful grinding sound. I would assume that this is the motor going out? Anyone know where i can find the part and maybe some instructions on how to change it out?

Thanks in advance!

Could be the motor but I would pull it apart and check the impeller etc. before ordering parts.

Thanks for the info! I am going to pull it out this weekend and dig into it deeper.
