Possible Causes

Open‑circuit circulation pump motor, Seized pump impeller, Damaged wiring to circulation pump, Failed triac on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap. Lay down towels before tilting the appliance.

  • Access pump: Remove the base panel to access the circulation pump assembly.
  • Check for leaks and corrosion: Water leaks can damage the pump and wiring. Repair any leaks first.
  • Spin impeller: Try to rotate the impeller by hand (with power disconnected). If seized, the pump must be replaced.
  • Electrical test: Measure the resistance of the pump windings. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Replace assembly: If faulty, replace the circulation pump/heater assembly with a compatible Zanussi part.
