    Can you hear the drain pump running, Phil? If you can, the blockage may well be at the undersink coupling, if appropriate. If you can only hear a faint humming noise, the blockage is in the pump motor iteself (down below……….).

    Pull the plug before sticking fingers in!

    Dont turn it upside down ❗ It can be accessed by the two screws holding the panel at the front under the lower edge of the door. Remember to pull the plug out before attempting anything.

    thanks for that

    i now have the front panel removed and have revealed the workings etc
    is it a simple job to check the pump for blockages or will i need to call out an engineer in the manchester area if so anyone reccomend a good one.


    cheers

    The pump is right there in the front but a bit fiddly and messy to get out. Whatever, make sure the dishwasher is un plugged before touching anything. Use this link to find an engineer: http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/search/fi … ineer.html
