Re: Servis M330 – Element failed,damaged by drum

Penguin45.Well, it looked OK when I removed it, no corrosion.
Plenty of calcium carbonate though.However, could it have shifted over the years, it’s only held in place by a single bolt through the grommit?
When spinning with an unbalanced load, the drum assembly often smacks off the sidewall, probably have weak springs. There was a lot of grey dust underneath (concrete?).
TBH, it was a bit noisy, so it’s probably the drum bearings, don’t see anything else cracked/broken.
Will have to have a good look this weekend, see how much it will cost to put right.
Thanks for the replies.

Hi Dave
Am currently in Australia (been travelling since boxing day).
Will verify motor when I get back in February.Gerryo
Re: Looking for wash motor for unknown brand Dishwasher
It’s got 5 mounting holes, that makes it part number 720054000 (which I assume is a motor + impellor + all required seals).
Guess I need one of these new or rebuilt.
Not sure if there is anything else worn, it looks like the seal was leaking for quite a while, maybe 6 months or more. The impellor plate is warped so that may be all that’s amiss.

Re: Looking for wash motor for unknown brand Dishwasher
Ok, got some pictures of the controls + internals, but was not able to dismantle the machine to get the motor (it’s operational & working quite well, if a little noisy).
I don’t have a web page to display these, anyone know of a service that hosts images for a short duration?

Re: Looking for wash motor for unknown brand Dishwasher
Thanks for all of the replies.
The machine is in pretty good shape (top basket is getting a bit rusty). The door seals are OK, no problems with the soap dispensor & it does a good job cleaning.I suspect it is a Merloni. I can probably take a few pictures over the weekend. The controls are located on the door top edge, all are push buttons, no rotary dials.
If you take a look at this link (CPC), that is a fairly similar motor.

except the mountings are different, & mine looks smaller (hard to tell, the picture’s not great).
I’m pretty sure I need a new impellor + seal kit also, as leaking seals (caused a plastic part warping) will wreck a new (or rebuilt) motor fairly quickly.
Economically, if the cost of the replacement parts comes to nearly half the cost of a new machine, repair looks less attractive, but at the same time, junking a machine with several more years of service left is a shame.
