How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing wash arms or accessing the pump.

Restoring circulation:

Check water level: Ensure the tank is filled to the correct level; low water can cause airlock.
Clean pump inlet: Remove strainers and inspect the pump intake for blockages. Clear any debris.
Bleed air from system: On some Champion models, briefly loosen a pump outlet fitting to release trapped air (with power off and water cooled), then retighten.
Test wash pump: If the pump does not run or only hums, test for proper voltage and replace the pump if defective.

When to call a technician: Persistent no-spray conditions after basic checks indicate pump or control issues requiring service.

Dishwasher fills but water is not spraying; wash arms remain still and there is no noticeable water movement.
