Drying fan error - loose connection in fan
From Tech Sheet W17709449, p.21:
1.Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power and check resistances of fan motor and all connections in the fan circuit. Fix/replace open connections or fan.
2.Measure the drive motor winding resistance at the main control connector. Expected: 2 to 6 ohms between winding pairs.
3.Rotate the drum by hand and check for free rotation. Inspect the belt and pulley for glaze or wear; a slipping belt mimics a motor fault under load.
