My United Kingdom Neff S5443 dishwasher spinning arms (x2) have stopped spinning there must be a pressure drop. There is mains water and there is no blockage in the mains water supply I have checked. Also the alarm sounding the end of the program has also stopped working at the very same time. The drainage pump is working but no rushing water sounds after it has drained as before. Is there a solution and if so if there some working instructions on dismantling I am very well equipped DIR with an engineering background but need advice. |

if it is the spinning arm that stop rotating then most likely the motor have gone bad. Majority of times when motor goes bad, it is caused by deterioration of insulated coil and some connection become shorted within stator coil(outter coil of the motor). This cause reduction in magnetic flux and torque is reduced. When there is significant deterioration then the stator doesnt induce enough flux to rotate the arm. Only economical solution is to replace the motor. |

I recently had the same issue, the lower arm worked,the top one didn't. In my case the pump cover was cracked, causing a loss of pressure. As the previous reply said, make sure your pump runs, in both directions - usually they run forward to pump water around for the wash cycle, then reverse to pump the water out. Also check for a blockage in the tube going to the washer arm. (This assumes that it is filling with enough water, open it mid-cycle to verify...) There are sites with parts diagrams and tips, and you can get the replacement parts there also. Sometimes your local shops can offer advice as well. Try: http://applianceguru.com/ Good Luck! |
