Comment on Help Fixing my Dishwasher - Part 2
AbidingOhmsLaw@lemmy.ml 2 months agoLooks like there are 3 coils wired in a Y formation, so the silver rectangles are where they electrical contact is made, let’s call them 1,2, and 3. If you measure across any 2 points you should get the same ( or close) ohm reading. In this set up you are measuring across 2 of the coils so measuring 1 & 2 then 1 & 3 then 2 & 3 should all be simalar and should not read 0 or infinity.

1 & 2, 1 & 3 do not read
2 & 3 reads

You have a dead coil you will have to replace the motor.

Could this have to do with the water to filling up anymore since I took the dishwasher apart to identify the drainage issue?

It’s possible that the controller is identifying an open coil and not filling, you should get an error code right away if so. it’s also likely that you did not get a connector seated correctly when re-assembling or that the float switch is stuck from having it tippled over. Check all the connections and after setting it back up right, check that that the float switch can move up and down freely.

Blown pump then if you can’t read anything on those pairs. They’re literally physical coils that should always pass current no matter what, and all of the smarts happens inside the control board for making the 215Hz @ 55V & 3A to feed it.
