How to Fix 4-3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at your home’s circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Shut off the water supply, typically located under the kitchen sink.
- Place towels under the dishwasher to catch any residual water.
- To access the wash motor, you will likely need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter and carefully lay it on its back.
- Locate the wash motor and pump assembly underneath the unit. Check for any loose or disconnected wires on the motor.
- If wires are secure, the motor likely needs replacement. Disconnect the wiring harness, release the clamps holding the hoses, and unbolt the motor from the dishwasher sump.
- Install the new motor by reversing these steps, ensuring all connections and clamps are tight before restoring power and water.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
