What's Happening
The main cleaning motor isn't working. This can be caused by a wiring problem (most common), a locked wash pump impeller, a locked motor rotor, a jammed blade, or a faulty main control board.
How to Fix It
Power off for 1-2 minutes and restart. If the error persists, this is typically an internal issue. A wiring fault is the most common cause. Professional service is needed since the motor assembly requires significant disassembly.
