Whirlpool AWM043 pump running constantly

[ken_mayall]

Hi, I have a fault with the pump running at all times on this machine. I have tried it on all progs and it will take in water on wash and rinse but pump is still running. It also runs with the door open and with the prog selector on stop. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Ken

Re: Whirlpool AWM043 pump running constantly

most likely the main board is faulty.

most boards you switches called Triacs to control small electrical items like valves and pumps. in your case the pump one has probably failed. To replace it you would have to understand electronics and be able to solder small components
whirlpools answer would be to change the board but some of the engineers on here may be able to repair it
alternativeley there are 2 firms who may be able to check and repair it

alternative fault include. earth faults ( if you have a trip on your electric supply then it wont be this )
Damaged wiring

Thanks for the advice Dave, will do a quick visual check on the board and see if I can spot any signs of failure. Ken
