Hi this should be a breeze for you technical experts but I cocked up.
I have a Hoover D821 Dishwasher.
It’s stopped pumping water out. I worked out I needed a Drain Pump…took the one out from my dishwasher worked out the part no and ordered. It’s arrived I’m ready to fit it…and I realised I’ve made a dumb mistake. I didn’t check the wiring when I detached it from the dishwasher. So I have a pump with L and N clearly marked…and two spade connectors in the dishwasher to reconnect. I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Anyone know how I can make this 100%?
One spade has two blue wires going into to it. and the other has one pink one. Which do I connect to L and which to N
Hope you can help. I found a dishwasher wiring diagram but it made no sense. I’m into photography not electrical stuff 
Thanks 
it’s a link to a pdf here
It may not be the right one…but it’s the first place I’ve found after spending ages looking that had any form of diagam and indicated that I’d bought the right part from the trouble shooter…
Maybe I don’t think the diagram is correct for what I need then. I have a complete drain pump with two connection pins at the base (one pin marked N (i assume neutral) and the other L (I assume live)) And I have two plugs to go onto these pins to connect the pump into the dishwasher…one of the plugs has a pink wire the other has two blue wires. But which one connects to L and which goes to N?
Can you post the part number off the pump so I can view it. I’m generally a hands on person and have to see it.

Ok, by looking at the pump plug the wires blue on the left & pink on the right, as pictured.
That should do it.
Nat
thanks…but how did you tell from that? Both plugs will fit in either slot?
If you look at the picture, the left plug has 2 connectors, the right only one. It should match up.
Nat
ah right…wish it was that simple - both sides of the motor are single spades (flat metal)…the two and one things you see in the pic are just marks on the flat metal not pins. I need to somehow find out if the pink wire connects to N or L.
I can’t see on the picture which is the N or L, but this looks like a used pump and as stated before the pink will go on the right & blue on the left.
yes it is the old damaged one that I took out. I just used it to take the photo. As you look at the photo photo N is left and L is right. So you are suggesting the Blue goes to N and Pink to L? If it is the wrong way will I damage the new pump/rest of dishwasher/or risk fire hazard?
thank you
Tub will not spin

Hi, I have a 2 year old GE WPRE 6100…the inverter lights blink 4 times…
Mode shifter coil is open…so there is no spin…sometimes…
The whole assembly is about $100.00…is there a process to follow to change this? And Do I need to change any seals in the process?
Can the coil be removed from a new assembly and then just replace the bad coil?
Thanks,
Dave D.
Yes, you could replace just the shifter coil (not available as a separate part). It would save having to remove the tub and shaft. You would have to remove the complete mechanism from the cabinet and turn upside down. The problem with the mode shifter is a little thermal fuse (made in China) inside the coil housing. Hopefully later models have this problem solved.
[SIZE=3]I have seen this problem a lot less this year than last year. Is the problem solved? I don’t know for sure but GE sent us a letter saying it was. [/SIZE]
