my dishwasher isn't draining.
I checked the drain hose and it's clear enough that I could blow air through it.
- I removed the drain pump, model #W10158351B I measured the resistance between the two connector pins: ~24ohms.
- I connected the two leads to a 120VAC supply. The impeller would turn maybe 2-3 degrees and stop, with the motor making a hum. I did this with the polarity only one way (randomly chosen).
I think this is pretty conclusive that the motor is dead but I'd like to be sure before I buy the replacement.
I'm also surprised to find water has been leaking out of the pump bit by bit. I presume that means water has made it past the impeller seal and is generally bad?
Is my drain pump bad? Are there other tests I should perform?
Thanks!
