Hi,
I have a Kenmore 665.12773K312 dishwasher that is making a sound like a pump is struggling. I'm guessing it's the drain pump?

Unit runs fine otherwise. It goes through the entire cycle and dishes come out clean.

Video is below. Is this something that needs to be replaced now? Or just wait until it fails?

Thanks!

It might be something caught in the pump impellers If that is in a wash cycle check the circulation pump. If it's in a drain cycle check the drain pump.

Thanks Rick. I pulled the screen and checked the "pump filter basket" (as per the APP diagrams)

Is part # 17 the circulation pump? And 8 is the drain pump?

Yes, that's correct. A lot of things can get past the filter basket.
