That puts the problem between the control and the pump rather than necessarily in the pump itself, which is good news: a relay on the power board is a smaller matter than a motor. The wiring between the two boards on this platform is old enough now that connectors are always worth checking first. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to EDW and IDW dishwashers. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Note whether the machine is silent during the wash phase or makes a noise and achieves nothing. - The harness and connectors between control and power board are inspected before parts are named. - The relay is tested on the board; a failed relay does not need a whole new board on this platform. - The pump itself is measured last, because it is the least likely of the three. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [dishwasher drain and pump repair](/services/dishwasher-drain-and-pump-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
