    i know there is a blockage in the pump area as ive found bits of nutshell there, and thats why it wont drain. to a complete novice, can you explain how to access the pump/impeller to clear blockage. many thanks

    I am afraid that accessing drain pump on D/W is much more difficult than the normal washing machines.

    First thing is that disconnect the drain pipe off from the sink waste trap(if you have this kind of plumbing) and then drain it out to see if it drains

    Also check if you can hear the drain pump running? and what kind of noise it is.Humming, no noise or normal?

    Regards

    thanks for reply. have checked drain pipe to sink, thats clear. when it tries to drain theres just a slight humming sound.

    UPDATE, managed to take off impeller cover and found nutshell blocking impellor. all fixed and working now, cheers
