For real s>1, the logarithm defined by the Euler product of a Dirichlet L-function differs from Fχ​(s) by a quantity of absolute value at most ∑n≥2​1/(n(n−1))=1. If L(χ,1)=0, a local holomorphic logarithm differs from this continuous logarithm by one fixed multiple of 2πi on a short real interval, so Fχ​(s) stays bounded as s↓1. For the principal Dirichlet character, the pole of the Riemann zeta function instead gives Fχ0​​(s)=log(1/(s−1))+O(1). Orthogonality of Dirichlet characters then makes the sum over any reduced residue class diverge, proving infinitude of its primes.
