How to narrow it
Observe whether water remains after the final drain, whether the cycle stops during pump-out, and whether the display specifically names a long-drain or drain-motor condition. Check only owner-accessible items described by the model manual and avoid reaching into water where sharp glass may be present. Similar standing-water symptoms span several records, so the exact brand and code remain decisive. If the code returns after one safe external check, stop cycling the dishwasher.
