Loud noise when running - the infamous bad drive motor
Replacing this pump is pretty easy. Disconnect the power and drain hose, and pull your dishwasher out from the counter. Lay it on its side on a towel. There WILL be spillage. Disconnecting the pump is simple. There are a couple hoses, one single wire connection (the thermistor) and one multi-wire plug. The pump is held in place by a pair of thick rubber holders which can be pulled off by hand. That's it!
After removing the pump, I disassembled it to find out why these fail so soon. It's a very poor design. I found that the nose of the electric motor, where the bearings are located, sits in a plastic cup formed by the top of the pump body. Any leakage from the pump around the motor shaft will be held in place against the motor bearing. It has no place to go. This causes rusting of the bearing. I expect I'll be replacing this one in a few years. :(
But kudos to PartsSelect for getting the right pump assembly for me, after getting the wrong one from another supplier!

Part Replacement: Repair was quick and easy, requiring small Phillips screw driver, multimeter, flashlight/light source, (gloves and safety glasses optional). Steps:
1. Turn off power to dishwasher at breaker box.
2. Remove any screws securing DW to cabinet and slide out DW (about 12-18 inches) to expose switch (located on the very top exterior front).

4. Test for ac power or if unsure about turning off DW power.
