    Have already checked no blockage at all.

    checked the waste connection. it seems not even a single bit of wet, which means no discharge from the machine.

    The machine not even stop after wash. humming noise can be heard.

    Any solution! Help! Thanks

    Drain pump blocked or failed? It’s accessible through the lower front cover plate.

    Bail out as much water as you can before removing it. There is a locking tab to release, then the pump should pull away for inspection.

    Power off first.

    Thanks Penguin45.

    Have opened up the dishwasher and found the pump. But don’t know where the locking tab and can’t take out the pump.

    Any Tips!

    Cheers

    Have a look at THIS PICTURE. Centre part of the tongue is the lock.

    Penguin45,

    checked the pump. it works well

    put it back the machine and gave separte power cables to it. Pour water in the machine. pump goes well with the external power.

    Then put back the machine power cables, tried the machine again. drain doesn’t go again. looks like the machine cannot tell the pump to work.

    Any more help!

    Continuity test back to timer unit is your next step. Possible that the loom has broken at the door pivot point. If you do have continuity, switching problem in the timer is the culprit.

    Thanks Penguin45.

    I guess that may be the case. What can I do now? How can I sort this out?

    Any advice? Thanks!
