Which rack, what noise, and what the two lights are counting will normally separate them before anybody opens the door. ### What actually goes wrong - **The diverter**, which sends water to the upper or lower arm. - **The drain pump**, jammed rather than failed, more often than not. - **The wash motor** or the board driving it. - **The supply**, in the case of an under-voltage condition, which is not the machine at all. ### What decides the figure Whether the machine has to come out from under the counter. Pump and motor work usually means it does, with the water off and the stone above it protected. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about viking dishwasher pump & motor repair Usually the diverter rather than the pump — the water is going to the lower arm and staying there.

That is almost always something hard in the pump, and every additional cycle is wear on a part that was fine an hour ago. That is motor under-voltage, which points at the supply rather than at the machine. It is worth noting whether it happens at a particular time of day — a circuit that sags when something large starts is a different call entirely.
