Possible Causes
Failed Electrolux circulation pump motor, Jammed pump impeller with debris, Loose wiring to circulation pump, Faulty main control not powering pump
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow water to cool before working underneath the unit.
- Listen for pump: Start a cycle and listen. If you hear filling but no strong spray noise, the circulation pump is likely not running.
- Check for obstructions: Remove filters and inspect the sump for broken glass or debris that could jam the impeller.
- Inspect pump wiring: Access the bottom of the dishwasher and check the circulation pump connectors and harness for damage.
- Test and replace pump: Use a multimeter to check motor windings. If open or shorted, replace the Electrolux circulation pump assembly.
