If a dishwasher hums but the motor will not run what is the may the problem be?

If the dishwasher hums and will not start, it usually means the circulation motor has seized up. Do not attempt to keep it running for long periods. You will over heat the motor if it’s not running properly. In rare occasion, glass, chicken bones, popcorn kernels, and believe it or not jewelry can make its way past the filters and stop the wash pump. This is no easy fix if that’s the problem. Other times the wash pump stops working by itself. If either one is the problem it won’t be worth fixing.


How do you troubleshoot an above ground 2 speed filter motor that only hums when turned on?

If it only hums, the motor isn't able to rotate. First disconnect the driveshaft and try to run the motor. If it runs, the pump is bound up/clogged. If the motor continues to hum, the bearing is shot. Repair or replace motor. Good luck.

When garbage disposer is turned on it hums and does not spin but if a stick is used to make it spin it then spins what is wrong?

I would say that either the bearings in the motor are worn out ,so the motor has a hard time turning. Or it may be that one of the motor windings (electric coils) is bad. I would replace the disposer.


How do you repair a 1998 Firebird power window that is stuck about have way up and the motor just hums?

The F-body motor is notorious for dying. The replacement costs about $50 from an auto parts store and will probably take an afternoon for a first timer. Remove the door panel and take a drill to open up holes in front of the rivets on the motor. Procede to drill out the old motor then replace it with your new one and screw it in. First you want to get the window up, if you can. If the motor actually hums, then press the button while pulling the window up, if you cannot get it up, then you are going to have to be extra careful not to harm the glass while taking the door apart and replacing the motor.


How can you fix your plumbing snake if whenever you turn it on you hear the electric motor kick in but instead of turning it just hums?

It sounds like one of two problems, Either the belt is off, (if belt drive) Or the motor is locked up or not starting, To test this UNPLUG THE UNIT, and use your hand to see if the motor will turn, If not find out why not,,, If it will then the motor is bad or the start capacitor is bad.


How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?

It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
