Possible Causes

Failed circulation motor, Jammed impeller due to debris, Faulty motor capacitor (if used), Wiring fault from PCB to pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power and drain water from the tub before tilting the unit.

  • Check for obstructions: Remove filters and inspect the sump for foreign objects that could block the pump inlet.
  • Listen for motor: During a wash attempt, a faint hum with no water movement suggests a jammed or failed pump.
  • Access pump: Lay the Fagor dishwasher on its back and remove the bottom panel to access the circulation pump. Check the impeller for free movement.
  • Replace pump: If the motor is seized or the impeller is damaged, replace the Fagor circulation pump assembly.
