Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes? Motor Pump Fault Explained by How To Repair (40+ Years Experience)
🚫 Facing issues with your Hotpoint or Indesit dishwasher by the Whirlpool group? 🌊 The dishwasher might seem normal - it fills, empties, and heats up. But, if the spray arms aren't rotating right, your dishes aren't getting clean. This video dives deep into the reasons and solutions.
🔄 Spray Arm Issues: Low pressure from the pump, system blockages, or dirt clogging can hinder the spray arms. Food particles can block the spray arms if filters aren't replaced after each cycle. These arms have angled jets targeting plates. With enough water force, they rotate, ensuring clean dishes.
🔍 Pressure Problems: Inadequate pressure can be due to a weak pump, blocked impeller, or even a complete motor failure. This video showcases these issues in detail.
🔧 Testing the Main Motor Pump: It's challenging to see what's happening inside a closed dishwasher. But, this tutorial provides three interior clips showing the spray arms in action. Plus, learn how to test the pump with an ampage meter and use a multimeter effectively.
💡 Wattage Insights: Understand the efficiency of various components. For instance:
Water valves: 7-10 watts
Circulation pumps: 70 watts
Drainage pumps: 25 watts (drops once emptied)
Heater elements: Around 1650 watts
For optimum performance, the total should be between 1750-1800 watts if all components work correctly.
🔌 No Power Drawn?: This could indicate:
Open circuit on the part
Bad connection between the circuit board and motor
Faulty relay on the circuit board

This video demonstrates all these tests, including bench testing motors and using multimeters. Plus, a bonus step on checking power flow from the control board to the motor at 240 volts.
Dive in to ensure your dishwasher works at its best! 💪

Great vid particularly liked you showed splitting the motor from the heater even though you had a complete unit to refit.

Nice video. I used to repair Indisit under a 5-year warranty it was horrible not being honest and saying they are a heap of junk. The repairs must have cost the company a fortune. That motor is far too small for the job, Good reason to keep old machines going because Bosch has gone with the same Italian-made motors, Did you have the machine on an ECO mode or is there no pre-wash on that model now? I have a Miele dishwasher in the workshop that needs a new door-opening motor switch for £180 plus labour. It's actually a £3 China motor if you can find the right gear ratio.

Great video thank you lots of useful info. Just trying to repair my indesit and have found the magnet on the pump is split in half I presume this shouldn’t be the case? Thanks in advance

Hello. My dishwasher (Kenwood KDW60X13) fills with water, drains it too, but the arms are not spinning at all. I have changed the Locking Nut because the rubber has worn out and I thought that pressure is unable to build and water cannot pump through the arms . It wasn't the case. Then I suspected the recirculation pump being faulty, took it down and inspected it. No grease discovered, the impellers look very good, everything clean and spins. I measured the resistance with a digital multimeter, no power source connected. I have zero knowledge on how to read the results and what they mean. The pump is Welling YXW50-2F, 220-240V 95W, 0.42A. The power socket(cables) of the pump has a resistance of 125 Ω, and the ones going into the capacitors(I have disconnected them from the capacitor), have a resistance of 246 Ω. I have also taken down the capacitor attached to the pump and tested it. It has a capcitance of 3 uF +- 5%. the multimeter reading is 0.21 nF, which if I am not wrong translates to 0.00021 uF? Is the recirculation pump broken or just the capacitor, or both? Thanks in advance for your answer.

My name is Callum I have a question for you why my beko washer dryer is not drying and it is not heating up on the drying cycle

@How-to-repair 9 ай бұрын

There are many reasons for your machine not drying. Firstly you need to check the heater circuit at the top of the machine. Make sure that the fan motor blows the warm air into the drum if this is not working correctly then the condensing process will not work correctly. Check the heating element and any thermal cut outs and thermostats also make sure the condenser water valve is trickling water down the condenser plate. If there is no power going to the heating element, then you may have a problem with the circuit board, depending on your expertise at repairing things, it is possible to check the relays on the circuit board. I hope this point you in the right direction thank you very much for subscribing to our channel

Ah, your hatred for those 1 shot clips instead of jubilee clips made me laugh as im exactly the same, i love working on Bekos dishwashers as their clamps are so easy to work with 😅

The question we need to ask ourselves is, is the manufacturer saving pennies deliberately to make our job harder OR are they that desperate for that amount of profit? Whichever way I look at it, all I can think of is built in obsolescence. I used to be proud of my industry now I have second thoughts, All manufacturers, nowadays, have their own agenda, instead of producing quality, thanks very much for the comment. Much appreciated Thanks, Paul 👍.
