Maytag dishwasher calls. The first one was clogged drain, it is working fine. But the picture is of the drain pump. My second Maytag DW m#MDC4650AWB2 that I just replaced the drain pump on because it was leaking by the pump motor. It now looks to be leaking at the seal. If you look at the picture of the first pump, it appears to have silicone used to seal it. Is this normal of Maytag’s like this?
No, that was a botched attempt at a fix. No silicone is needed when replacing the drain pump, as long as you include the o-ring seal. No sealant used during assembly. I have also seen a hairline crack in the sump housing that the pump mounts to. This usually happens when Professor Installer uses a dolly under the unit, etc. Since they originally silicone the devil out of it, lets assume it is a housing problem. Here are some videos on pump leaks https://www.appliancevideo.com/?cat=&s=dishwasher+pump+leak+&post_type%5B%5D=post&post_type%5B%5D=premiumvideos&post_type%5B%5D=fromthefield&post_type%5B%5D=embdvideo
