Checked the water in filter, removed the grey plastic motor/pump cover by undoing the 6 screws inside the m/c but you cannot see the impeller as shown in BOSCH’s animation. Cleaned away the gunge. Put it all back together but still not pumping out. The mechanics seem to be all under neath the stsinless steel liner.
Turned the m/c on it’s side to see if the plastic base cover can be removed but nothing to unscrew. Tried unscewing the hinge cover on the side at the front but the plastic cover would not come off.
So how do you get in?
I’m off to Sainsbury’s to get some dishwasher cleaner but it seems like a faint hope.
Can anyone help please?

These slimline machines are very inaccessible for even us experts to tackle. The drain pump can just be accessed after removing the front plate as it has a twist on twist off bayonet type fixing to the sump moulding.
Full access to components in the base can only be achieved after fully dismantling the machine and I seriously advise seeking professional help.

Re: BOSCH Dishwasher not pumping out water. SRS43AO2GB/14
Electrical health warning noted and heeded and access challenge noted. I’ll try what I can. I sprung off the white kick plate as it was a puh on fit. It rotates upwards. Then I was faced with a blank white plastic panel. I took the side T20’s out and the blank panel pulled off to the front. All I have now is another white plastic panel which is anchored by a galvanised metal pressed panel along the top edge full width. In the centre of the white panel is a hole and this has an up and down arrow and a rotate arrow. I guess you insert a long screw driver in here to turn the pump. Tried a variety of cross heads and ordinary drivers but cannot lock on and you are totally blind.
I will try to remove the galvanised panel. You seem to be able to get at the 2 screws by opening the door.
I might be able to get a socket onto the impeller by working in the sump that holds the cylindrical filter in the centre of the base. If that does not work have you any other suggestions. You were right it is tough access!

That is there only for integrated models that allows you to raise and lower the rear feet when installing or removing from kitchen furniture, and doesn’t give access to the pump whatsoever!

Sorry no access from there either, it’s a strip-down for the most part on these babies 🙁

OK I am beat.
If I get a professional repair man what is your best guess as to the bill including VAT

Time to look at a replacement slimline. the UKWG forums suggest that Siemens, Neff and Bosch are a good balance of price/quality/reliability. 5 year warranties are included free with Siemens SF24T250GB so can anyone comment on this choice, give alternatives to look at? Looks a good deal at £350 inc VAT, Delivery and 5yr warranty.

Does this m/c drain into a sink waste?
If so have you checked in the spigot under the sink for a blockage?.
Re: BOSCH Dishwasher not pumping out water. SRS43AO2GB/14
Thanks Boro,
I took the hose off the trap at the sink and just hung it in the sink to ensure that their was no syphoning back. The hose is clear as I can blow down it.
There is no spigot to forget to cut the end off. The hose connects to the female screw fitting using a rubber joining piece using 2 jubilee clips.
All the plumbing worked fine before.
The motor is working because the water sprays OK inside the m/c.
It just will not empty out.

Some of the slimline models you can’t access the pump impellor from inside the m/c :haier:
Sounds like yours is one of them.I would think it’s a piece of broken glass caught in there,certainly not a throw it out and get a new one job.
If there are no guys in your area give BSH Appliance Care a ring 08705678910.
Re: BOSCH Dishwasher not pumping out water. SRS43AO2GB/14
Hi Boro,
Your suggested repairer only gives 30 min of repair time for £60 plus VAT. Then they charge on every 6 mins on top. Strip down and rebuild would need a mortgage and they said chuck it out and buy a new m/c.
Dave Conway of UKWG gave me Capital repairs who charge £57 incl VAT and they will battle on for this sum until the job is done plus parts. They are coming tomorrow. I am petrified but have bitten the bullet and will report back. Pray for some good luck.
