This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed Pump 3 motor, Shorted cable, Defective relay on control board, Incorrectly wired pump

Safety: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker.

Verify wiring: Confirm Pump 3 is wired to the correct output on the control board and that the voltage matches the pump rating (120V vs 240V as applicable).
Inspect for damage: Look for burn marks on the control board near the Pump 3 relay.
Test pump separately (advanced): A technician can bench-test the pump to confirm if the motor is good.

Depending on findings, replace either Pump 3 or the control pack.
