With a correct installation, this fixed the leak.Installation instructions:To help remove the old grommet, I purchased this hook set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07676QLSQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and used the 90 degree hook to slide down the diverter motor shaft (the white plastic piece) and pull the old one out. I was surprised when it slipped right off. Perhaps because the grommet was pretty worn? Just be careful that you don't drop the grommet down into the sump water feed as it's very difficult to remove :) I ended up having to turn the power back on to the dishwasher and run a few seconds on the express wash to blow the grommet out. If you have to do this, be ready with something to catch all of the water that will for sure leak. I ran the drain function to remove all of the excess water in the sump. Take note of the grommet orientation whether it is spring side up or down. I'm not sure how important this part is, but it could be important to prevent leaks.VERY IMPORTANT: After removing the old grommet, I used the full hook to very carefully pull the spring out of the old grommet and then used the straight hook to slip it on to the new grommet. As I've seen a lot of reviews say they needed teflon tape to keep it from leaking, I can only assume they skipped this step. Don't forget the spring!Next step: I applied some silicone grease (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DZFUPC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) on the inside of the new grommet and carefully slipped it over the diverter motor shaft. As I goofed up pulling out the old grommet, I'm not entire sure whether the spring side goes up or down. It looked like it was spring side up on the old one before I pulled it out, so that's the way I put it in. I wiped the excess grease off the diverter motor shaft and replaced all of the parts.Aside from when I goofed up and dropped the old grommet, this took a total of about 15 minutes to fix. I'd watched a handful of videos of how to replace the sump and diverter motor, so I was pretty familiar with general disassembly, so it might be worth watching a handful of related videos. I did not need to pull the dishwasher out at all which was nice.

Like others. I could see that water was dripping from the diverter motor. It definitely made sense to try replacing the grommet rather than buying a new diverter motor.I was surprised to find how hard it was to remove the old gasket. Having watched the a couple of videos on replacing the diverter motor, I found taking things apart inside the dishwasher to access the grommet to be very easy. It literally took one minute to get everything apart. That was the easy part. The hard part was getting the old grommet out. That was surprisingly difficult. I had good tools: various picks used for removing O-rings and such, but the grommet wouldn't budge. I then tried an ice pick, fine needle nose pliers, and a small screwdriver -- couldn't get the old one out. I wondered if it might be glued in place. I then decided to pull out the dishwasher and remove the diverter motor so the shaft wouldn't be in the way and also so I wouldn't scratch the walls of the cylinder the grommet fits into or the shaft. That helped a lot. Using a very small screwdriver, I was able to pop it out.I put it in partially to test the fit and found it wasn't nearly as snug as the original so I wrapped two layers of teflon plumbing tape around it and put it aside for the moment. I then decided to re-attach the diverter motor. I wasn't sure if it made more sense to put the grommet in first and then the motor or vice versa. I decided to reattach the motor first so I wouldn't push the grommet out of place and mess up the teflon wrap when trying to push the shaft up through it. With the motor in place, I put some plumbing grease on the shaft, then inserted the grommet with the groove-side up (flat side down). It was a snug fit, which I was happy about. I pushed it down in place using a small open-end wrench which ensured even pressure. A little bit of the teflon tape pushed up as I pushed the grommet down, but enough of it seemed to be staying in place. I then put things back together as shown in the videos, turned the water and power back on and tested it out, while lying on the floor looking to see if there were any leaks. My heart sank when I saw a drip, but it turned out that was it - literally one tiny drip and no more for the whole rest of the wash. I knew for sure that was the case because I had slipped a cookie sheet underneath the motor so I'd catch and drips and also be able to tell how much it had leaked, if at all.My dishwasher is an old (probably 10 years) Whirlpool model WDF730PAYB3

As many reviewers have noted, the most difficult part of replacing this grommett gasket is removing the old one. I had to use a pointed hook tool and basically destroy the old one to remove it. So once i started with this project, i was at a point of no return! Fortunately the part fit and stopped the leak from the diverter motor. Be sure to save the metal spring from the old grommet to place into the new one. be sure to take photos of the situation before you remove anything so you remember how to put things back together.I recommend watching at least two You Tube videos on replacing this part by searching: "fix leaking dishwasher diverter motor seal replacement". It is pretty straightforward, but you don't want to mess up any steps.
