1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect
power and replace control.
2. Inspect drain motor and
connections for overheating/
shorting. If evidence of overheating/
shorting exists, replace.
1. Check operation in Service
Diagnostics Cycle. Listen for cam
clicking as it rotates or inspect shaft
with mirror to see if rotating during
diverter interval. If rotating, it is
likely the sensor circuit.
