I recently replaced the wash pump on my GE diswasher with part number PD00037922 (Mfg. #WD49X23781) that I purchased from Parts Dr. I have two questions:

1) I am wondering why there were 5 clamps included with the Wash Pump Kit. I ended up using only 2 (one big one and one small one). Moreover while the old pump had 2 big clamps on the large end of the pump (one on each end of the rubber connector), now it only has 1. Is that correct?

2) Also, the old pump had a metal cover over the wire connector while the new pump does not. Is that correct?

Thank you for your help?
