Bosch Dishwasher not draining

Re: Bosch Dishwasher not draining

Excellent advice guys – I have a Hotpoint NF61 Dishwasher which was not emptying. Thanks to Google and your 4 year old posts I was able to solve the problem by merely removing and re-installing the one way flapper valve downstream of the pump! What a great resource the internet is!

Thanks again.

Re: Bosch Dishwasher not draining

I am really struggling to fix my dishwasher ( a Bosch SGS43E02GB/45). It tries to fill but simultaneously pumps the water out, so never actually fills. I’ve gone through all the advice I can find related to the model on this site so far… I’ve cleared out all pipes as mentioned in THIS THREAD , the heater resistance is 25 ohms, the wax motor is 2.5k, i’ve tilted it 45 degrees back to drain a possibly flooded sump, but it still won’t fill to the point where it actually starts a wash cycle. I can trick it into starting a wash by actuating the micro switch on the yellow level sensor, but the actual water level is too low, & it carries on pumping water out. The pump continues, even with the door open.
Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

The timer counts down to 0 minutes remaining, but keeps on pumping indefinately (unlike a lot of other posts that stop at 1 minute)

If you are certain that the flood protection system is not activated and the drain pump runs regardless of programme selection, the fault lies on the pcb. You would be advised to replace the drain pump motor at the same time – this kind of fault is usually a cause and effect one.

Re: Bosch Dishwasher not draining

thanks for the advice, I sat it tilted backwards at 45 degrees for 2 hours switched off, some water cam out, I plugged it in & ran the pump & it drained as much as it could.
Is there a way to test the pcb? or will it just look smoked?
