Sounds exactly like the one I am trying to replace in my KitchenAid
dishwasher.  Same color scheme.  The supplier is back ordered right now
but they tell me that it is actually a Whirlpool motor.  The diagram is
not very definitive and does not have a timing diagram or operational
description but  it does show two separately controlled windings as if
one was for CW and the other CCW rotation.  My dishwasher has a disposal
built in and may spin in the opposite direction as the pump cycle.  This
is only a intelligent(questionable) guess.
