Possible Causes

Shorted drain pump, Burnt triac on main PCB, Wiring short to pump, Water ingress on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

  • Check pump for short: Disconnect the pump and measure coil resistance. A very low resistance or visible burning indicates a shorted pump; replace it.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the PCB to the pump for insulation damage or signs of arcing. Repair or replace as needed.
  • Control board inspection: Examine the main PCB for burnt components near the pump triac. If damaged, the board must be replaced.
  • Prevent recurrence: Ensure no leaks are dripping onto the control board or pump area.
