Thanks for the feedback. Ill check out the wiring.

I’ve posted a video of it happening https://youtu.be/ttRbb3utJaQ

OK I’ve reattached the diverter valve. I flicked the door latch closed so I could observe the arms. They were still not turning UNTIL …

I pulled the door wide open!!

As soon as I opened the door wide open the arms started spinning. Close the door a little and the arms stopped. At least the pumps are working fine but can someone please shed light on what is causing the problem?

Thanks

Quick update:- just tested the motor quickly and it turns fine.

Thank you K.

No, live testing is not an option really especially given it’s location underneath the dishwasher and your comment about danger is understood.

I’m going to manually put the valve in the position to supply the arms, refit to the machine and that way if the valve does not move then it is likely to be this part that is faulty. If the valve rotates then it could be the stage before which tells the valve to supply water to the arms.

If the valve is not getting 240v to switch the water to the arms, can someone please tell me what might be stopping it? For example, will the dishwasher check first that the water is at the correct temperature/level or is it simply at minute X of the wash cycle spin the arms? Something else?

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks K,

That is the part. I’ve now taken it off. It was clean and no obstruction. I’ve manually turned the disc valve between the two openings and one position makes it open circuit and closed in the other.

I’m getting 13 ohms across the motor terminals. What else is there to test? Can I simply put 240v to the motor to see if it will turn?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Thanks for quick response. The filters and arms are clean (and weren’t too bad anyway). It fills with water to just below the door level so looks good.

I have taken the bottom off now and am going to take the diverter off to see if any obstruction. Failing that what’s the best way of troubleshooting the exact problem?

Thanks
Richard
