hotpoint dwf61p – circulation pump slow

[stuffed]

circulation pump seems to me to be slow, its not pumping much water through the rotating arms, ive checked
filters clean
water feed hose clean
can rotate pump by hand
i read about running on the starting windings in one of the posts, how can you tell if this is so.

It’s more likely a water starvation/circulation problem and not a motor problem. If you fail to use salt in hard water area then that can cause problems with the instanteneous water heater and its control valve.

Time for expert intervention I would suggest (Click on link below) 😉

stripped pump down and checked motor- thats ok , however white seven bladed rotor is very worn, with no points to physically connect it to blue plastic drive- can i get just this rotor

Yep, you can 🙂

I’ll need the serial number to identify though as there were two different circulation motors used on this model.

the no on motor is 5600.031929 / isol.kl.f / mo1757/230-240v does that look right

Dave will need the one from the rating plate of the appliance, not the motor code.

holding fire on the impellor for the moment,
as I have already rebuilt existing – it basically a domestic heating pump impellor. only meant to be temporary job tho, and all is nearly fine except timing as shown on display . originally after fault whatever program selected – it said ( apart from cold prewash) 2hrs to go. now quick wash says 29 mins to go ( as it used to before fault), is the machine clever, ie is it learning as it goes .

PS as a heating engineer i have to take boilers and sometimes houses apart to fit things and its a damm site easier than this – my hats off to you if you do it for a living
