Electrolux Professional Circulation Pump Not Running

Dishwasher fills with water but the wash pump does not run; dishes remain dirty and cold.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Seized circulation pump, Failed pump motor, Faulty start capacitor, Loose wiring to pump

Safety first: Disconnect power and close water supply.

Listen for pump: After filling, the machine should start spraying. A humming noise without spray indicates a jammed pump.
Access pump: Remove lower panels to reach the circulation pump. Check for obstructions in the impeller and remove any debris.
Test motor: Measure resistance of the pump windings. An open circuit indicates a failed motor requiring replacement of the circulation pump.
Check capacitor: If fitted, test the start capacitor and replace if out of spec.
