The Big Askoll Dishwasher Pump Motor

This article will outline the problems associated with the above motor; and the Whirlpool-built brands it has been fitted to.

Brands: Diplomat, Caple, CDA, Prima, IKEA, Magnet, Tecnik, Firenzi.

These are all “badge engineered" machines and as such are made to a budget. The single biggest cost saving measure is to fit the Askoll-type circulation pump.

Above is the offending item.

Fault 1: Leaks from outlet hose top left. It's bonded on and is impossible to replace.

Fault 2: Note placement of connectors at bottom of motor. If it leaks, the water will accumulate and short the motor out.

Fault 3: Impellor falls off. Once off, it will not stay on.

Fault 4: The bearing in the front plate wears and allows the magnetic armature to flop around inside the motor casing, causing noise and slow running.

There is only one proper solution:
