How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap.

  • Confirm filling: Start a program and listen: you should hear water filling, then a pause, then spray noise. If you only hear filling, the pump is not running.
  • Check sump for debris: Remove filters and inspect the sump for objects that could block the pump inlet. Remove any visible debris.
  • Reset: After clearing debris, leave the appliance off for 10 minutes and retry.
  • Persistent failure: The circulation pump or its capacitor likely needs replacement. This requires accessing the underside of the machine and should be done by a technician.
