indesit dishwasher

[fasetester]

hi guys i have to look at a indesit type LS 24668 intergrated dishwasher in half hour the custmor said it was not bringing in water but was making a noise could it be a blockage or the washer pump jammed can you get at the washer pump from inside or to unblock the sump pipes does the front plate under the door come off if i can repair it with out takeing it out all the better or any other pointers greatly recived thanks fasetester 🙂

Re: indesit dishwasher

went to see dishwasher indesit after pumping out at the start of the program would fill in with water but no wash action i could hear the washer pump trying to go as if it was trying to start tested capactor seemed ok removed washer pump to check for blockages pump turned freely is there any thing else i should have checked removed empying pump checked ok would it be possible for the washer pump to have weak windings and stop it from washing and the hose clips are hard to get back on the washer pump hard to get them to click into the second nick or is there a tool for the job the keep sliding round if i could hear from any hotpoint indesit engineers what the think could be wrong thanks fasetester 😕

Re: indesit dishwasher

hi, if the wash pump is ‘humming’ but not turning & not jammed then it has to really be the motor, as for the clips normally just open the crimped section just enough to slide the hoses of then re-crimp with sidecutters

Re: indesit dishwasher

Had a couple off capacitors going o/cct swapped them from a good motor never been back.

thanks for the reply hotpnt after it fills you can hear the washer pump like trying to kick in it will hum and then try to turn as if it is a lazy motor are the known for motor failure when the hose is recrimped will the seal ok again as the dont seem that tight you would think with the pump pressure the would blow off are the a sealed motor thanks fasetester

thanks jonnyj when i test the capactor it was chargeing up and discharging usally you will get open circuit or shorted or has any one tested the capactor and seemed ok but changed it for the motor to work thanks fasetester

Ive had a lot of trouble in the past with these crimped bands until i discovered from a car spare shop, metal bands that work just like pull ties and are ideal in situations where jubilee clips are either not big enough or too thick.

what kind of bands subs are the and what do you ask for are the like cable ties only metal do the come in different sizes and are the expensive subs have you ever changed a capactor that you thought was ok for a new one on a washer motor and for it start working thanks fasetester

Re: indesit dishwasher

If it’s humming and doesn’t go capacitor is a good bet just like tumble dryer motors except that you cant give the drum a push to see if it’ll go chris.

Re: indesit dishwasher

thanks for the reply penguin would you say that testing the capactor with a analog meter to charge and discharge the capactor would not give the proper results so far that is how i have tested them and it has so far told me if the capactor was a dud what do you think penguin thanks faseester 🙂

Re: indesit dishwasher

The meter only tells you so much……. Given that caps are only a couple of quid a pop, I’ve always carried a wide range of values in the van – subbing is usually quick and easy. I think it’s a 4uf on yours.

Capacitors decrease in “size” over the years. An analogue meter only tells you “it’s a capacitor”, treat yourself to a cheap digital meter with capacitance and you can prove it’s within tolerance or not.

[fasetester]

so what you are saying is even if you test the capactor with the meter and get it to charge and dischare and you get the flick on the meter the capactor could still be faulty that what i went with all along and if i did not get it to charge or discharge changed the capactor and the motor burst into life so i could be fooled going by the meter so you are best just to try a new one that is the only sure way thanks penguin and dpm any more comments on the hose clips on this washer pump the dont seem very tight when you have removed them put them back on the seem kind loose and with the pressure of the pump you would think the would blow off or do the not have to be over tight and do any of you know of the metal bands that subs is talking about thanks for all the replys fasetester

[dpm]

Here’s a meter that’ll do just about any start/ run capacitor you’ll ever trip over
