What the customer reported

The record for this job describes an induction motor repair on an Asko dishwasher in Vancouver. The motor wasn’t working properly, and as a result the dishwasher couldn’t release water the way it should to clean the dishes. For most households, that shows up as a machine that runs but doesn’t leave the dishes clean, or one that leaves water behind. Either way, a dishwasher that can’t move water properly isn’t doing its job.

What the diagnosis found

The problem was a broken induction motor. This motor is what powers the circulation pump, forcing water up the spray arms and releasing water from the dishwasher. When it fails, the whole wash cycle suffers, since the water isn’t being moved around the way it needs to be. Pinpointing the motor as the source meant we could repair the right component instead of replacing parts that were working fine.

The part and the repair

Our technicians repaired the broken induction motor. The record doesn’t list a replacement part for this job, so the work was a repair of the motor itself. With the motor working again, the dishwasher was able to release water and clean the dishes properly.

How long it took

The repair took 2 hours.

How to avoid this fault

Clean the dishwasher’s filter regularly so food debris doesn’t build up and make the pump and motor work harder than they should. It also helps to scrape large scraps off plates before loading.

Why it matters

An induction motor is a common type of electric motor that runs on alternating current, and it’s valued in appliances because it has no brushes to wear out. In a dishwasher, a motor like this drives the pump that circulates water through the spray arms and sends used water out. Exactly how the pump and motor are arranged varies by brand and model, so it’s not safe to assume every dishwasher is built the same way. What doesn’t change is the effect of a motor problem: weak circulation, poor cleaning and water that doesn’t leave the machine. If your Asko is showing those signs, it’s worth having the motor checked before the problem gets worse.
