- Is the motor on your dishwater overheating? Is the dishwasher making a lot of noise? Does the dishwasher keep tripping when starting a wash cycle? Is your dishwasher not cleaning properly or not at all?

Please read. My experience. Water not drained. I checked hoses. They looked clean and clear. So I wasn’t worry about it. Following the video I decided to buy a multimeter. Checked the water pump for continuity and “Everything ok” like 26 ohms. I still decided to order a new pump from Amazon for $29. Installed it and it works flawlessly. My dishwasher was pretty noisy when new because it has a new and strong draining pump. Last days it was doing very quiet cycles due to, what techs call it, a “tired pump”. Now. At least in my Whirlpool model, I didn’t have to disconnect or remove it from its place and put it upside down. I only remove a plastic cover from the bottom front and squeezed my hands through it. Very ease. First. Disconnect the power. Vacuum all the water. Using pliers, Disconnect the plastic drain hose that goes to the pump. And then. With a mirror. Locate the clip that goes on the other side of the pump. Press it and rotate the pump and voila. Clean and make sure there’s nothing obstructed. Disconnect the electrical plug and connect the new one. Easy peasy. I hope this helps. Salud 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks man
mine meter reads 120 ohm. the pump is 90w. is that to low or to high?
Mine measured 60 Ohms. Ordering a new one, thanks!
did that fix your issue?
@@andrewd5135 Well, I remeasured it several times after commenting and the numbers were all over the board. I tested my leads by touching them together and that wasn’t the problem. Bottom line; I did order a new circulating pump Because the upper and lower wash arms were not rotating and I ruled out soap blockages and wound hair on spinning joints. Just out of curiosity, though, I measured the resistance on the new one before installing it, and The resistance was well below 100 Ohms like the one I was replacing it with. It did fix the problem though; the wash arms are spinning again. Other online videos like yours, claim other resistance numbers, so I just ran out of time to chase that rabbit.
Conitnuity checks vary from pump to pump, basically anything from 0- 300 is normal. If your reading kilo ohms or mega ohms for resistance that’s not good to go
Nice conductors on both wrists
I think he has just been reprieved from the Electric Chair and forgot to take them off. Or they are a model/ actor and not a real workman.
Hey nice video what if there is no power to the pump itself? I tried two different motor no luck everything else runs.
Probably a faulty relay (fixable) or a failed control board (probably not worth trying to fix)
What is the importance of 100 ohm reading? Is that the lower limit?
it can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. 233-ohms seems low to me personally. Typically, i would expect 3-200. manuals and documentation usually spell out what the expected values should be. anyways, the significance is that if it's too low, then there could be a short in one of the windings. if it's too high or "open" then there could it's just that, an open connection so no power flow.
correction: i meant to say that 233 was high to me, not low.
Mine says 120V and 50W, and while test on 200 my result is 47ohms... Is that too low? With the link I should get over 100.

Bin the music😱😱😱😱
My dishwasher is nothing like that one. It would have helped if he had said what model that was.
My meter reads 93 kohm. Is that fine?
No

Others say the ohms should be 20-40, why do you say over 100?
www.calculator.net/ohms-law-calculator.html?type=1&v=120&vunit=volt&c=0.9&cunit=ampere&r=&runit=ohm&p=&punit=watt&x=73&y=26 when you have your part u put the volts and amp into this calculator and it will give you the correct amount of ohms u part should be putting out 100 ohms is working anything less doesn't draw enough power to run at a stable level
@@jackwater9703 Thanks for the reply. I finished this project a couple months ago. My issue was a bad bearing.
@@jackwater9703 my dishwasher pump is 220-240 volt, 90 watt. According to this link my motors resistance reading should be 640. When I connect the merter to the motor though, the resistance reading is 64.5. Is this low or is it ok?

music is so distracting and unnecessary
Crap video. You assume all dishwashers are the same. Not all dishwashers have a simple opening flour board. Some motors have 4 terminals. Where should there be readings and what should they be. What are incorrect readings. There are so many variables you dont mention.
I knew it would be from the moment I heard that silly music start up. This is a dishwasher from Fairyland. You would not get very far with just a flat screwdriver and waterpump pliers on my dishwasher. Gave it a thumbs down.
Mine got 4 terminals , can you tell me where it should be connected?
Rat cut the wire so I can't identify
