Possible Causes

Failed circulation pump motor, Blocked circulation pump impeller, Severely clogged filters and sump, Blocked spray arms

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap.

  • Clean filters and spray arms: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters and both spray arms. Ensure arms spin freely.
  • Listen for pump: During a wash cycle (with caution), listen for the sound of the circulation pump. A humming noise without water movement suggests a jammed pump.
  • Access pump: Remove the base panel and inspect the circulation pump. Clear any debris from the impeller area.
  • Replace pump: If the motor is silent or seized, replace the circulation pump assembly with the correct Zanussi part.
