Hotpoint FDW60 Dishwasher

[Ray9500]

Hi all,
I am beginning to dislike this range of dishwasher 👿
I changed a drain hose on one of these, it had been resting on the element and had melted through.
Since then it won’t do anything other than fill, everything lights up but the drain pump won’t run.
There is continuity between the module and pump but no supply runs through it, i have changed the module and it’s exactly the same.
Every thing else checks out electrically eg element, pump, motor.
Have i missed something? or should i just take it outside and shoot it!?

Regards
Ray

Shoot it every time 😥 I presume the base got flooded ? any water still in the wrong place? hows the earth insulation etc

The pump is wired in series with the wash motor, when it fills does it wash if not i would think the wash motor is goosed. jj

Thanks for the replies!

The insulation is fine, and the motor doesn’t run when it’s filled so this would seem to be the answer. I may have checked continuity on the motor in correctly 😳

I’ll update after fitting a new motor, thanks again 😀

Well stagger me, changing the motor cured it!

It would be interesting to see how that was routed on a wiring diagram 8)

Thanks again guys 😀
