dishwasher god!

getting good at fixing ours now! for some reason the drain pump keeps giving up the ghost. whip it out, spin it over a few times and all is hunky dory for a month
new one is £62.15....strange price but!!!!
any real experts out there with a proper answer or is it a case of 'they all do that sir'

sounds like the motor on it has a dead spot and every now and then it stops spinning at the wrong point.

They all do it eventually

Motors run on brushes. Worn brushes cause intermittent stops? My washing machine does that and new brushes solves it.

I dont think you can change the drain pump brushes as its more like a fan ?? motor -- all enclosed, (is it )
I like the idea of it stopping on a dead spot and giving it a spin with your hand sorts it until it lands on the dead spot again, sort of a wheel of Mis-fortune

All mine run on electricity

Yeh its just I had to swap my pump on a washing machine and it was an enclosed unit - no means to replace brushes. I have changed brushes on a main washing machine motor and they are designed to be replaced.
( i know we are talking about a dishwasher)
