Possible Causes

Open-circuit pump motor, wiring fault to pump, blocked pump impeller, failed pump triac on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and be prepared for water spillage when accessing the base.

Check pump and wiring:

  • Access pump: Remove the lower front or side panel to reach the pump assembly in the base tray.
  • Inspect for blockage: Remove lint, hair, or debris from the pump inlet and impeller. Ensure the impeller spins freely.
  • Test pump coil: Disconnect the pump and measure resistance across its terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed pump that must be replaced.
  • Check wiring harness: Inspect the harness from pump to PCB for damage or loose connectors.

If pump and wiring are OK: The pump driver (triac) on the main PCB may be faulty. Replacement of the control board is then required, typically by a professional.
