You didn't cite the brand/model of your dishwasher. Always prudent to include that info when asking a question about an appliance. Bearings in a motor, of course, are to allow the rotating parts to turn without undue friction and wear. Unlikely the bearings in your machine's motor can be replaced directly ... the entire motor and/or pump assembly usually must be replaced. Bearing failure on a dishwasher motor typically is caused by a seal on the pump mechanism going bad. Water gets into the bearing, washes out or fouls the lubrication and the bearing eventually rusts and seizes ... so yes, the dishwasher will sooner-or-later come to screeching halt. |
