Wash pump motor fault

Identify which drawer faults — each DishDrawer has its own wash pump motor, so isolate before disassembly
Remove the spray arm and filter and check the impeller for debris jamming it
Spin the impeller by hand — if it turns freely but the motor will not run, the winding or control module has failed
Test the motor winding for continuity, which should read roughly 2-8 ohms across the leads
A reading of OL or infinite confirms an open winding and a motor replacement
Pro Diagnostic Tip
F2 means the wash pump motor is not responding or is drawing abnormal current. A freely spinning impeller with a dead motor points to the winding or the drawer control module, not a mechanical jam. Winding continuity of 2-8 ohms is healthy.
