Possible Causes

Safety first: Turn off power and water before pulling the dishwasher out.

Check for spray action: During wash, open the door briefly to see if water is spraying. Lack of spray indicates pump issues.
Inspect sump and filters: Clean filters and remove debris from the sump.
Access and test pump: Remove the GE Café circulation pump, inspect impeller, and test motor windings. Replace if defective.
Check wiring and control: Verify harness integrity and replace the main control board if it fails to power a good pump.
