Wash motor failure
Common Causes
- 1Wash pump motor burned out
- 2Capacitor failure
- 3Impeller jammed by debris
Disconnect power before accessing the sump or pump components — the pump runs on 120V AC.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Check sump for foreign objects jamming the impeller — glass shards and bones are common
- 2
Measure wash pump motor resistance — should read 5-40 ohms
- 3
Check wiring harness from control board to pump for burns or breaks
- 4
If pump hums but water does not spray, the impeller is jammed; silence = motor failure
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Remove the fine filter and check the sump before condemning the motor. A piece of broken glass or a label blocking the impeller is a cheap fix vs full pump replacement.
