Hi guys I am new to this forum. I picked up this second hand dishwasher and it is now giving me the error code FAE5 after about 30 seconds of running. I didn't even to get to run one load of dishes yet. There is no leaking water and the machine will not go into a wash cycle with this error code showing. I have the technical manual, but cannot figure out how to trouble shoot this code. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

FAE5--->Diverter Leak Detected

On this model you can't order the diverter motor separately, it only comes with the complete sump pump/motor assembly:

FIXED - Whirlpool Dishwasher WDTA50SAKZ0 Error FAE5

Hi, I have this dishwasher that starts and immediately gives my an FAE5 error. Not much on google for this error code. I saw a few things that said it was a leak at the diverter but also saw documentation that said it was a communication error. So I’m at a loss I checked for leaks and there...
