Possible Causes

Stuck drain pump relay on control board, Faulty water level sensor, Control board software glitch, Shorted wiring to pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection.

Basic checks:

  • Inspect the wiring harness to the drain pump for signs of rubbing or shorting to the cabinet.
  • Disconnect the pump connector and check if the pump stops running (if it was stuck on). If it continues, the issue is on the board.
  • Power-cycle the unit for 5–10 minutes to reset the control.
  • If the pump only runs when commanded but the code persists, test the water level sensor or float switch and replace if faulty.
  • If the pump runs continuously whenever power is applied, the control board drain relay is likely stuck and the board must be replaced.
