Bosch SGS45C08GB not draining

[gbturnir]

Hi,

This is my first post on here!

Our dishwasher is only 4 months old and recently the water sits at the bottom after the programme has finished. I’ve taken the filters out, but couldn’t find any obvious blockages.

If I pull the large round button (which is on the inside at the bottom) a propeller spins. I presume this usually pushes the water out of the drainage pipe, but in our case it spins but the water does not go down.

Any help to resolve this is much appreciated.

have you checked the end of the drainage hose especially where it attaches to under sink or blockages?

Yes, tried that. Taken all the filters out aswell. It does pump out some water, just not all of it.

Anything else I can do/try?

Thanks

It won’t pump out every drop although it should only be visable when you take the filters out,if it is still covering the filters then you do have a problem.

Had you been washing anything that was very greasy prior to this problem starting? if so it may have “set” in the machine drain pipe.
This can also happen if your drain hose is connected to the sink “bend” you can then get a blockage due to whatever you have put down the sink, flowing back into the drain hose.
Ideally if the drain hose is connected to the sink bend then it should be positioned as high as possible with an upward bend, not hanging from the sink and going straight down to the machine.
You can often “shift” a blockage by putting the machine onto “drain” and giving the drain hose a good shaking when it is trying to pump out, you can also try resting the hose in a bowl and pour hot water over it.

Hope this all makes sense 😉
Failing this you may have a internal blockage, engineer required.
Let us know how you come on
