Hi
My dishwasher wont drain so i took out the pump to clear and test.
the resistance is .197
But the continuity test failed . Looking at various videos they all say test the resistance only should the continuity test pass on a drain pump? I dont have a working one to test
Re: Testing a drain pump on a dishwasher
Some cheap multi meters won’t show continuity on certain components.
As for resistance then the make and model of the appliance would be a help.
If the reading you are giving is in ohms then that is about right for most pumps.
Pumps don’t fail electrically that often, it is far more likely to be a supply fault or a physical fault in the pump.

Hi, its a Rangemaster RDW6015FI the pump is a 012G5040004.
Ive looked at the pump and physically – Anything to look for?
Im not sure how to test the supply as there is no drain function on the dishwasher that i could run to test it
Re: Testing a drain pump on a dishwasher
when you first put the dishwasher on the pump should run ,have you checked that the impeller is revolving okay and not obstructed ?
Re: Testing a drain pump on a dishwasher
Hi
The impeller is moving as expected.
Does the drain pump run even at the start of a program? I thought it would run at the end of a program.
If it should run at the beginning then i can hook back up and see if it runs
