My Whirlpool Quiet Partner (DUC600XTPQ7) makes a continuous noise when it is operating...I checked the chopper..no clogs... reassembled it and the noise continues. From other posts it looks like I should replace the motor....I read one of Gene's posts that said it was easier/more reliable to replace the combined motor and pump than just the motor...
1. what part is that? 2. HOW do you replace it? are there directions somewhere? Is it a hard repair?
Thanks!!!

[COLOR="Blue"]is this a repair that i should consider doing? i am relatively handy,[/COLOR] I would give it a try and I am also just relatively handy. Just take your time mark or make a diagram of anything that can connect in more than one way.
Also I am a big fan of putting a very light coating of lithium grease on gaskets/seals etc. before installing. It just seems to help things go in easier.
[COLOR="Blue"]is it an easier repair to buy the whole thing?[/COLOR] Yes it is and the odds of having problems down the road are less.
Throw a quart or two of hot water into the unit before starting it up after the repair. Pumps do not like to run dry. |
