The drive motor, identified by part number 00145327, is found in washers produced by Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau. This component is specifically crafted for these models. If the machine displays error code F:43 and the motor fails to operate, replacing the drive motor is recommended.
The function of this motor is to rotate the spin basket and operate the agitator or spin basket during agitation or tumbling cycles.
To assess whether a replacement is needed, measure the motor’s resistance. First, ensure the washer is unplugged and disconnect the motor wire harness. The expected resistance should be 0.8 to 2 ohms between pins 1 and 3, 1 to 10 ohms between pins 4 and 5, and 14 to 240 ohms between pins 6 and 7.
Always disconnect the power supply before beginning installation and wear safety gloves for protection.
