Bosch SGS43A52 Problem

Hi, I’m new to the site.

A few days ago our Bosch dishwasher (SGS43A52) blew it’s 13A plug fuse. Upon opening the dishwasher it had a small amount of water in the bottom. I replaced the fuse, turned the dishwasher on and it tried to continue it’s ECO program from before the fuse went, so I pushed the two buttons simultaneously to reset it, the END light then came on and it pumped out the water. It then worked fine for 2 or 3 cycles (I don’t know how many exactly but it was more than one).

However yesterday it blew it’s fuse again, leaving water in the bottom again, so today I replaced it again, thinking obviously there must be an underlying reason to this. Anyway upon switching the dishwasher on it again tried to continue ECO program again, so I pushed both buttons again and the End light lit up. It started to pump out the water. I went into the other room at this point to grab the instruction manual, I came back and it had stopped whirring/pumping, and the ‘Eco’ and ‘End’ lights were on. I opened it up and all the water was still there!

I then followed the instructions in the manual for removing the impeller cover and when I did found a length of green plastic string tangled in the impeller. I removed this and replaced the cover.

Since this point the dishwasher has been unable to do anything. Both the Eco and End lights stay on, switching on/off makes no difference, tried switching off at the wall and leaving for 1/2 hour and it’s still the same.

Anyone have any ideas? Or know if there is a hard reset that can be performed at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
