I took the housing off and the impeller fell off the motors drive. Not having looked at a dishwasher of any kind before, I hadn’t noticed the lack of retaining screw holding the impeller onto the motor. I also hadn’t noticed the housing on the picture of the impeller you sent me wasn’t there on mine. I think at some point the screw has come out, I haven’t found it, and the impeller has been wearing itself away on the motor housing. I found a replacement screw of the same thread (but not a countersunk one which it looks like it needs), and screwed it back together. It all works perfectly now, no additional rattles etc. The impeller pieces are incredibly brittle though. Would you know which impeller I should buy? I screwed it back on by locking the slot on the opposite end of the motor with a screwdriver. Is there a better way of stopping the motor spinning whilst tightening the impeller screw? I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your help, with thanks again, Nick

Just found this via Google and this is the exact problem I have, lost screw and worn impeller, explaines why it has been noisy too
just ordered an impeller from espares, hopefully get it next day, fixed for £10
