6
Reach under the dishwasher and disconnect the wire connecter from the drain pump.
7
Now depress the tab and rotate the pump counter-clockwise to remove.

Install the new drain pump by inserting it into the sump housing and rotating it clockwise to lock it into place.
9
Connect the wire connecter to the new pump.
10
Reposition the lower access panel and sound dampening pad then secure the panel with the fasteners.
