ParticipantHi, my Bosch SKT5002gb table top dishwasher pumps in and out water fine but it is not washing dishes. I have checked the bottom to see if any blockages but I can not see anything wrong. I checked all pipes at the back of dishwasher and all is fine. I have noticed the arm is dry and seems not spray water but does spin round when I spin it. I was wondering if anyone can kindly point me in the right direction of what maybe wrong.

Can you here the circulation motor whirring away? Or a faint humming noise (ear to casing)?

Not sure if this will help Penguin45 but I think it makes the same noise it did when it washed the dishes. But I did put my ear to the casing and I can hear a sound like something is spinning around.

ParticipantRe: My Bosch SKT5002gb refuses to wash dishes.
Common problem with these is the impellor on the end of the circulation motor disintegrating. Motor spins like mad – just doesn’t move any water.
Impellor is p/no 065550, about £12 from memory. spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get you one promptly if this proves to be the problem.
The “A level” bit of the problem is to get the casing off – there’s a myriad of screws. Once you’re in, the motor will slip out of the left hand side quite easily for inspection.
Stay safe – power off for anything other than inspection.

I took the casing off but can not take the bottom off, I can see the motor but it will not slip out. Something I have noticed is when I tipped it on it’s side to attempt to get at screws small fragments of plastic came out of the bottom drainer.
😯 I phoned around in atempt to get a price to fix it as I can not get to motor and some are saying it will cost between £150. for parts and £90 labor. I may as well pay extra £40 and I will have a new one.
Penguin45 could you advice me on how to get at the motor if I cant get to it think I may as well bin this one and get a new one.

Test the power of an overnight soaking in WD40 💡

Motor is now out, yes?. Impellor is probably a left-hand thread………

I attempted left and right but it would not budge the impellor was all broken except one nodule attached to the motor so called in a repair guy.
The guy looked at dishwasher and agreed it was the impellor he telephoned for a part price then attempted to get it off, while doing so he bent the inside silver spinning part of the motor then quoted me £102 part and £50 labor.I already paid out £50 for call out fee and to get it back in working order total cost would be approx £202 so I’ve decided it’s not worth it and I may as well purchase a new one, but thank you Penguin45 & Martin for trying to help.

You would think that the impellars would be made out of something indestructable like they used to do on the dirty fan motor vacuums.
