Error Codes (undefined): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Circulation Pump Error Indicates

The Circulation Pump Error means the dishwasher is failing to properly circulate water throughout the wash cycle. The circulation pump is essential for pushing water through the spray arms to clean the dishes thoroughly. If this pump malfunctions or stops working, the dishwasher will not spray water efficiently, resulting in dirty or partially cleaned dishes. This issue can be caused by mechanical failure, electrical faults, or blockages within the pump system. It is important to address this error promptly to avoid further damage to the appliance.

  • Mechanical failure of the pump motor due to wear and tear.
  • Blockages from food particles or debris caught in the pump or impeller.
  • Electrical faults such as damaged wiring or control board issues.
  • Corrosion or mineral buildup caused by hard water.
  • Running the dishwasher frequently without cleaning the filters and spray arms.

    1. If you have technical knowledge, check wiring harnesses connected to the pump for loose connections or damage.
    2. Damaged wiring can cause the pump to malfunction or stop working.
