Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?

When you checked the machine were there any signs of Leakage / Seepage inside?
1 thing it would be advisable to check if you have a Multimeter, is the Earth continuity from the pin on the plug to any exposed metalic parts just to make sure you have a good Earth if there are any further problems, continuity should be a maximum of 1 ohm.No, I was certainly not ignored and am very grateful for the advise I have received on here from you and other experts.
There was no signs of Leakage / Seepage inside. I haven’t got a Multimeter but will bare in mind what you said and thanks again 🙂
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
I took the motor off the dishwasher and took the end off to have a good look at it. I found no burn marks in or around the motor, in fact not being used much it looked as good as new. I couldn’t find any signs of burnt components anywhere else so I put the motor back. I switched on the dishwasher and everything works okay.. machine fills, paddles rotate and machine empties. Intermittent fault.. damp or….???? Time will tell. Thank you everyone for your help. 😉

There won’t be Carbon brush dust, it’s a Capacitor start Induction motor so there are no brushes.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I got the gist of what you were saying and thank you for that.

Perhaps I don’t deserve your help and you should ignore me 🙁Hi Diplomate: Don’t quite understand why you think your’e being ignored, the boys appear to have been quite quick in responding to your messages. Unfortunately we can only answer posts in between our normal daily work so sometimes it may take a short while to reply, if you still have a problem then please let us know & we will try to help.
As Martin has already said you have a Capacitor start induction motor so you don’t have to worry about brushes. 8)HTH: Andy.
I didn’t say I have been ignored, quite the reverse. It was myself recommending others to ignore me because I jumped to the conclusion that I had a faulty capacitor without investigating first.
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Thanks “cockney steve” I will unplug the dishwasher and check out the motor. Don’t worry.. I won’t go near the capacitor.. I know they hold a dangerous electrical charge 😉
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Thanks for the prompt replies. Lesson taken.. I’ll try not to jump to conclusions in the future. 🙂
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Sorry.. I miss led you.:oops:
I just assumed it would be the same problem I had before when the capacitor blew. A bang.. burnt electrical smell. I turned the dishwasher off and left it overnight. I have only just had time to investigate. I switched the dishwasher on this afternoon and it appears to be working okay now but the fault must still be there. There is no visible signs of burnt winding and the capacitor looks fine. I wonder if the brushes need replacing.
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Thank you for your reply Martin. I wonder if this is a common problem and what would cause the motor to draw too much current.
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Help..
My Candy CD622 capacitor I replaced in January 2009 has blown again. Could this be a coincidence? We only use the dishwasher once a week.
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Candy Dishwasher CD622.. recirculating motor, Candy type 90.47.30, capacitor replaced.
I received a replacement capacitor I ordered from ukwhitegoods.co.uk this morning which was considerably cheaper than an original part, it looks beefier so maybe it will last longer.
This is an easy diy job to do as there is no dismantling involved. I unplugged the machine and as soon as I tilted the machine back to look underneath I could see why the spray arms weren’t rotating. The capacitor on the side of the recirculating motor had a large hole blown through the plastic case. I made a note of the three wire colours and where they connected to on the capacitor before removing it. The capacitor is fixed next to the motor with just one nut (13mm spanner required). It takes longer to pull the dishwasher out and tilt it back to access the underside of the dishwasher than replacing the capacitor. Messing around with electric can be dangerous so be warned capacitors store high electrical charges so you can get a shock off them even when the machine is unplugged.
Thanks for your help!

Usually the timers will run from around £80 to about £140 depending on the model.

Thanks… I’ll have to check to see if a hearing aid is a cheaper alternative then 😆
Re: Homark 05-703105A Fan element replacement
Make sure the oven is unplugged!
Quote.. ukwhitegoods.co.uk webpage:
“Most fan elements can be replaced from the front without the need to remove the oven or cooker from its housing however there are a few ovens that do need to be removed in order to replace the element.”
Re: Diplomat Ceramic Hob… element or switch?
Diplomat Ceramic Hob APL1313… switch replacement.
I have now fitted the new cooker hob control switch I ordered and received this morning- super fast from ukwhitegoods.co.uk All the hob elements are working now, so thank you again Karv and Smartin for your help.
This is an easy job for an experienced diy kind of person to do but can take a lot of time if, like me, you haven’t tackled this before. Once I new I had to fit a new cooker hob control switch and had taken the hob apart before it took me three quarters of an hour to fit the new one but finding out how to take the hob apart and find the fault the hard, but sure, way by swapping the hob switches over took in total five hours.
If you too need to dismantle your Diplomat Ceramic Hob APL1313 to change a hob control switch make sure the hob is isolated to prevent getting electrocuted and use a multimeter for any testing. You’ll need the correct torx key to undo the case screws at the back of the hob. Lots of wires go to the switches so take your time and make a drawing of the back of the faulty switch, numbering the connections and noting the colours of the wires. Label each of the wires on the faulty hob switch, to correspond with the drawing you made as you take the connectors off, so you know for certain where to put the wires back on the new hob switch. I found I had to remove all the screws on the case to raise the switch end up on one inch blocks of wood in order to reach the nut that holds the hob switch in position. Be careful when reassembling the hob to get the back case in the right position before tightening the screws. Don’t use too much force or you could break the ceramic.
Re: Candy CD622… capacitor blown?
Wow!! £6.97.. that was a quick response Penguin. Yes, nice price I’ll order one.
Must say.. this is a useful website for people like me. I’m in the process of repairing my Diplomat Ceramic Hob as well. I have had some good advise on here and now have a switch on order for that hob.
