- Prepare the Dishwasher: Ensure the dishwasher is completely disconnected from power. Turn off the water supply valve to the dishwasher.
- Drain Water: If there is standing water in the dishwasher tub, manually drain it using a towel or wet vacuum.
- Access the Pump: Depending on your dishwasher model, you may need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter or access the pump from the bottom. This often involves removing the lower access panel.
- Disconnect Wiring and Hoses: Carefully disconnect any electrical wiring connected to the old water pump. Note the position of each wire for correct reattachment. Disconnect any water hoses or clamps attached to the pump. Be prepared for residual water.
- Remove Old Pump: Unfasten any mounting screws or clips securing the old water pump in place. Carefully remove the old pump assembly.

- Restore Access Panels: Replace any access panels or components that were removed to gain access to the pump.
- Restore Power and Water: Turn the water supply back on to the dishwasher. Restore power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
- Test Operation: Run a short wash cycle to check for leaks and ensure the new pump is functioning correctly. Monitor the dishwasher for any unusual noises or water circulation issues.

Proper maintenance can extend the life of your dishwasher and its components, including the water pump.
