Hotpoint Dishwasher Motor

On dishwashers with a separate motor, drives the circulation pump that sprays water onto the dishes.

Signs it has failed

• No water spray or a weak spray
• A loud hum, grinding or a motor that will not start
• A burning smell or the dishwasher tripping the electrics
• A cycle that starts but never wets the dishes

Check before you buy

• Check the filter and spray arms for blockages first
• Listen to see whether the motor hums but does not turn
• Check the pump impeller is not jammed by glass or debris

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the dishwasher and turn the water off
2. Remove the lower panel and pull the dishwasher out for access
3. Photograph and disconnect the motor wiring and release the motor and pump
4. Fit the new motor, reconnect and reassemble
5. Run a rinse and check for leaks

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Many dishwashers use a combined pump and motor unit instead. Match the part number or your model number and check whether it is a motor only.

Part numbers listed for Hotpoint dishwasher motor

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint dishwasher motor parts (checked 2026-10-29). Fit is per model: a number here is a lead to check against your own rating plate, not a promise it fits your machine. Searching the exact number is the most reliable way to find the right part. The retailer lists 18 Hotpoint numbers for this part type; 10 are shown, because most fit only specific models. Search with your model number to narrow it down.

Some numbers are used across Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and other Whirlpool-group brands. Numbers starting C00 are the Hotpoint/Indesit manufacturer reference format. If your old part has a number printed on it, match that first.
