6.3.9 Replacing the Basket Lift Motor and Related Components
1. Disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply and dismount the basket lift arm. Attach a
pair of Vise Grip™ pliers (or a similar locking device) to the basket lift rod where it protrudes
from the cabinet to prevent it from sliping back down into the cabinet when the basket lift link is
disconnected from the bellcrank.
2. Remove the lower basket lift access panel.
3. Mark and disconnect the wires attached to the microswitch. Disconnect the white motor wire at
the inline connector. Cut wire tie, if present, and carefully push all wires back into the cabinet
through the holes in the motor mount.
4. Remove the four slot-head screws that secure the motor mount assembly into the cabinet.
5. Disconnect the basket lift link from the bellcrank and remove the motor mount assembly from
the cabinet.
6. Remove the failed component as shown in the illustration below and install the replacement
component.
7. Complete the procedure by reversing steps 1-5.
