Dishwasher Motor

If the motor isn't turning or working, the unit won't drain. First check to be sure you have power to the dishwasher. If the motor hums but doesn't turn, it may need to be replaced.

Some dishwashers are susceptible to getting stuck if you don't run them regularly. If you haven't run the dishwasher for more than a week, you may need to manually spin the motor to free it up. If the motor is defective, you need to replace it. Dishwasher motors can't be serviced.

As motor bearings wear out, they can become quite loud when the motor runs.

Dishwasher Pump

Your dishwasher pump ejects the water. The pump is usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of the dishwasher. You can reach the pump from inside the dishwasher, but first you need to remove the lower rack, the spray arm, and the spray arm support.

Look for an impeller–a round plastic fan blade-type of device that spins around. This is the wash impeller, which forces the water through the spray arm. Beneath the wash impeller is the drain impeller, which is similar in size and shape to the wash impeller. The drain impeller pushes the water toward the drain port. These components make up the pump. If any of the pump components are defective, you need to replace them.

If you would rather not take the unit apart yourself, that is what we are here for. Give us a call at (509) 774-3966 and we will get you on the schedule. More do-it-yourself guidance is on our appliance repair tips page.
