Dishwasher Pump Impeller Kit 167085

This manufacturer-approved impeller kit (part number 167085) for some dishwashers, including Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 63016302400, pushes water from the pump to the spray arms.

The pump motor drives the impeller, and making the repair requires taking out the motor. To do that, Note how the wires are connected to it and the detach the wires. Undo the rubber straps from both sides of the motor and release the latch on the pump and motor housing by pressing on the latch with the blade of a flathead screwdriver. Hold the impeller blades and turn the motor clockwise to get it out of the housing. After releasing the impeller, remove the spring and the o-ring from the pump and motor housing, then take the spacer off the motor shaft.

Before installing the new impeller, slide the larger end of a replacement spacer onto the motor shaft and install a replacement spring and O-ring on the pump and motor housing. Line up the tabs on the motor mount with those on the housing and screw down the housing. The impeller can then be mounted onto the motor shaft.
