    Blockage of some description…..

    Can you hear the drain pump running? If you can, the problem may lie in the plumbing side of things. Check that the sink coupling is not choked and that the drain hose itself is not crushed/trapped or badly kinked.

    If you can’t hear the pump running, it will have eaten something which has disagreed with it and jammed, in which case a dismantling session is in order. The pump is underneath, so pulling it out and getting the undertray off is required.

    If you’re not sure how to proceed, use the link below for a UKW engineer in your area. If you’re going to have a go, pull the plug before doing anything else.
