Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the wash motor on my Hotpoint dishwasher?
Typically, you'll need to remove the lower spray arm and any associated filters or covers inside the dishwasher tub. This will usually expose the wash motor assembly, which is often held in place by screws or clips.
•What is the correct resistance reading for a healthy wash motor winding?
The resistance reading will vary depending on the specific motor. However, a typical reading for a functional wash motor winding is between 10 and 30 ohms. An open circuit (infinite resistance) indicates a failed winding.
•Where can I find a replacement control board for my Hotpoint dishwasher?
You can typically find replacement control boards at appliance parts retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Be sure to have your dishwasher's model number handy to ensure you order the correct part.
