Re: How to test Miele motor
Friday night I installed our new used motor (I was in a hurry, because we had a guest coming on Saturday afternoon) and our dishwasher is back working. Thank you for your help.
Re: How to test Miele motor
I have tried to supply power to both couple of poles at the same time and our old motor started, so the motor is good. Now I have to discover if the issue was caused by the split impeller or by the timer: I should know this tomorrow evening.

Our new used motor together with our taken apart old used motor
I bought it from here: http://www.ebay.it/itm/381805270715?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}3AMEBIDX{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}3AIT, so it costed to me about 104 euros.Re: How to test Miele motor
You are right.
Yesterday our new used motor arrived, so I compared the two motors with my multimeter and all the values are almost exactly the same. I noticed only one difference: the water impeller consists of two plastic parts and on our old motor they were detached, while on our new motor they are attached together. This would explain why our dishwasher was giving the error code F14, which should mean that there is not enough water pressure in the system.
So I put back together our old motor, attaching together the two impeller plastic parts, but I have not glued them together, so I do not know if they would detach again.
Tomorrow evening I am going to put our new motor on our dishwasher. I have also thought that I could easily check the timer, just using a mains tester.Re: How to test Miele motor
Thanks. I had no way to check the timer, but as I could not make the engine run I decided to replace it. Now that I have taken apart the old motor I can take its connector to connect it to the plug and to two multimeters to check the timer, but to do that I have to put almost all the dishwasher back together.

Our dishwasher motor
I have taken it a litlle apart, to check if there was any electronic component that needed to be replaced, but there is nothing other than the wire windings, so it is pratically not serviceable. On the left lower part of the picture you can see the old and the new capacitor.
