Beko DWD5410W not completely emptying

[Ambriel]

We’ve got a 2-3 yr old Beko DWD5410W that just recently has started to leave dirty water in the bottom of the machine at the end of the wash cycle.

I’m mechnically quite adept and yesterday took it apart to check for blockages or damage to the pump rotor. I found a few pepper seeds and rice grains but both pumps were free to turn and there was no visible damage, and no blockages in the outlet pipe. The internal filter traps were skanky but I cleaned them out, too.

I put it all back together again and ran it in a pre-wash cycle. At the end of this I checked and there was dirty water in the bottom again. Problem clearly not solved.

Is there some kind of switch that tells it when the water has all been pumped out? Could this be sticking? I know about the flood switch in the base.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Just a bit of extra information.

When I run it again in pre-wash it *doesn’t* drain the dirty water away before allowing more in. You can hear a noise that sounds like the pump turning but if I interrupt it when I hear the solenoid valve open there’s still plenty in the bottom – maybe not quite as much as before.

Does this suggest the drain pump needs replacing?

Ah well, in the absence of any other input I’ve ordered a new pump.

Will just have to see if that sorts it out.

Well that was a waste of fifteen quid. No difference.

Have run out of options. Dishwasher goes in the skip tomorrow.

Cheaper to buy a new one than try to get an engineer out to where we live.
