Dishwasher displays E8 and may have poor washing performance or stop mid-cycle

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap.

• Listen for pump operation: Start a program and listen: if you hear filling but no strong spraying noise, the circulation pump may not be running.
• Clean filters and spray arms: Remove and clean all filters and spray arms to ensure no large debris is restricting flow.
• Access pump: Remove the base panel to reach the circulation pump. Check for leaks or signs of overheating around the pump housing.
• Check impeller: With power disconnected, gently rotate the pump impeller (if accessible) to see if it is jammed by glass or debris. Remove any obstruction.
• Replace pump if needed: If the impeller is free but the pump does not run or only hums during operation, the circulation pump assembly likely needs replacement.
