Hi,
I have the KDW60X16 dishwasher, and two days ago it started making a whirring noise.
It will fill and drain fine - But will not spray/move water at all. The motor makes a 'humming/buzzing' noise when it starts, and continues for some time until I stop it.
I have removed the motor (YXW50-2E) and checked for any blocks etc.
I have found that the impeller is broken. I assume that this is no good and *may* be causing my problem?
I have also checked the resistance on the motor and the manual states it should be:
116.2 Ohms (Main Coil)
101.5 Ohms (Assistant)
41.4 Ohms (M1)
All +/- 7%.
I have the following readings:
158.4 Ohms (Main Coil)
117.2 Ohms (Assistant)
41.9 Ohms (M1)
Does the above readings point to a faulty motor?
I also have access to a capacitance meter, so I have taken the starter capacitor off and it checks out at 2.9uf (Rated at 3uf) - I was really hoping this was the issue as its best described from the manual as this but appears not?
Any help you can give me would be invaluable
Images attached of the user manual plus the broken impeller.
