Viking Dishwasher Wash Motor Fault
A Viking dishwasher wash motor (circulation pump) fault occurs when the pump that circulates water through the spray arms loses efficiency or fails. A failing motor typically presents first as reduced wash performance — dishes come out with residue — before progressing to cycle interruptions.
What Causes the Wash Motor Fault Error?
Motor bearing wear reduces pump efficiency and eventually causes motor failure.
A hard object (bone, glass fragment) lodged in the pump impeller restricts rotation.
Basic Steps Before Calling a Technician
-
01Clean Filter First
A clogged filter can mimic wash motor failure by starving the pump of water. Clean the filter and run a test cycle before concluding motor failure.
When to Call a Technician
A failing or failed circulation pump motor requires professional replacement.
