Link: How do I replace the motor kit?

Make sure the motor is unplugged!  Once the motor is determined to be bad you can still use the unit in your sink as a manual brush cleaner until the new motor arrives.

The set screws around the bottom of the motor where it meets the stand pipe need to be removed using a XX allen or xx open end wrench.  Once this is done you can remove the motor from the stand pipe.  If the motor is difficult to remove you can coax it by using a hammer on the underside of the motor hitting it gently along the bottom edge to loosen it.

For all upright model glass washers with motor mounted above water.

Remove the coupler from the motor end taking note as to how close the coupler is to the motor and toss the old motor appropriately.  Inspect the coupler for cracks in the rubber or corrosion in the metal.  Check the shaft teeth for wear or roughness and replace as necessary.  Place the coupler and shaft assembly onto the motor shaft and push down until it’s even with where it was before it was removed.  Hand tighten.

Replace the motor by slipping the Shaft down the stand pipe and through the Bearings.  Slip bottom collar of motor over stand pipe and push down on motor until completely seated.  Turn the machine on its side and check to see how far the shaft protrudes through the bearing.  It should be completely through but by no more then 1/8 inch.  If you need to adjust the shaft, remove the motor and adjust the coupler position on the motor shaft appropriately.  Return motor on washer as described and hand tighten 3 set screws.    Plug into a ground fault receptacle and clean, clean, clean!

For all submersible glass washers

Remove bolt at end of shaft being carefull not to damage shaft.  Using pliers with a paper towel or rag will help hold the shaft while you loosen the nut.  If the shaft is damaged or worn replace it at this time.  Place bolt through shaft then screw bolt onto motor shaft.  Line up holes on motor stand with indentations on motor mount, insert motor into motor stand, place and tighten set screws.  Place machine in sinlk and put it to work.

Cause or how to avoid this problem from repeating

For all upright model glass washers with motor mounted above water.

The motor is an electrical item that can go with time or go a lot quicker with abuse.  Water is this motors enemy and getting water into the motor in any way will affect the motors performance.

1)       Never turn glass washer on its side or upside down unless instructed to for repair.

2)       Never fill sink above water level mark on washer.

3)       Never run water over the motor when filling sink.

4)       Never run water over, on the sides or on the bottom of the glass washer to clean it.

5)       Always replace a worn Switch Cover.

For all submersible glass washers

This is a durable motor that is waterproof and built to last.  When the motor burns out it’s from use of the washer and there is nothing you could do to prevent it.  To protect the cord from going bad Keep cord clear of brushes or from opportunities to pinch the cord.  Keep the cord on the submersible model locked into the cord holder on the handle of the unit.
