Hi, I am getting a F14 error on My Miele G1222 series dishwasher.

When starting a program it fills to the correct level, runs the water softner cycle for about 30 seconds, then a relay can be heard pulling/humming for about one second (am assuming this is the relay for the ciculation pump) but the ciculation pump does not start and I have verified no water is circulated through the washer arms. After another 5 seconds a discrete click is heard (another relay?). After about 13 seconds this short cycle repeats itself and tries the same thing again and again about 20x times.
After that the F14 message appears and the drain cycle starts and empties the machine from water.


I have checked the following:

The circulation pump capacitor measured OK (10uF) but replaced it anyway just in case. The circulation pump motor winding resistance measured to 15 ohms (outer connectors) and 17.5 ohms (inner connectors). The pump housing and impeller was disassembled and is free from contaminants and the pump motor spins freely. I checked the Heater pressure switch which operates according to the Miele schematics and actuates when pressurized.

Any idea what the culprit may be?

Thanks in advance!

Good job!
