The Divertor Motor is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part controls the direction of water flow within the unit. This motor directs the water to different spray arms based on the selected wash cycle, ensuring efficient cleaning by optimizing water usage and spray intensity.
Causes of damage to the divertor motor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to water and detergent over time, and electrical issues such as wiring problems or faults in the control board.
Symptoms of a failing Divertor Motor include:
- Inadequate water distribution during cycles, which can lead to uneven cleaning results.
- The dishwasher making unusual noises, such as humming or grinding, which may indicate a struggle in the motor function.
- Certain wash zones receiving little to no water, affecting the appliance's overall performance.
- Error codes displayed on the dishwasher panel that relate to water circulation problems.
This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
