Hello,
I have a KDTE104ESS3. The pump runs intermittently. I can hear the relay click but the pump doesn't come on. It tries 5 times then gives up but continues to run through the cycle without washing (ie, it dumps the soap, heats).
Sometimes the pump engages on the first try. Opening and closing the door restarts the process. The pump always ends up running but sometimes takes 20 tries!
Also, it has now stopped heating.
When I enter the diagnostics "123 123 123" all LEDs light up. When I press Start nothing changes.
How do I see the error codes? I have the tech sheet.
I'm definitely not going to spend $250 on parts for a $500 dishwasher. Seems these things only last 3 years, even when I threw money at it with a $1200 Bosh several years ago.
Edit: Now I understand the codes. When I close the door in diagnostics mode I get error 7-1, which is no heater.
Would this cause the pump issue?"
