Hello,
My dishwasher stopped working. I posted to the ukwg web site and someone suggested that water ingress had seized the bearings on the motor.
When the motor was in situ I could not turn the impellers. Once I removed the motor, I could turn it but it was hard work. With the impellers removed, I could not turn the spindle.
I thought if the motor was seized it would not move, so I am puzzled how I managed to turn it but perhaps I was applying more torque than the motor could (is this possible?)
I've only had one person help on ukwg, so I thought I would post here for a wider audience. To be fair perhaps the repairmen are out at work.
I took a few photos which I uploaded:
It was suggested that the IWMS might be a problem in the future and I would be better buying a new machine. There are some deposits in the IWMS; I believe they are mould. It is in the water inlet side of things, so it is not dirt from the washing.
