Bosch SGV53E03GB constant pumping / flooded pan

[IncredibleMrT]

Hi,
My Bosch SRV43M03GB has started playing up – actually, it’s totally inoperable at the moment.
As soon as you turn on the power button the pump kicks in. There’s nothing in the main chamber so it is just sucking fresh air.
I’ve had the panel off and seen that the red float is up as the bottom pan is full of water.
I took this outside and emptied it.
Inside looked okish – there is a little crusting against some of the workings but nothing higher than the bottom pan felt wet.
I plugged it back in and everything was hunky dory – worked ok for about a week until today when the very same happened.

I’ve not opened it up against yet but am fairly sure the bottom pan will be full again.
Any ideas what the cause would be?

If it’s a serviceable part and available at a reasonable price I am more than happy to do the work – I just need pointing in the right direction first of all.

Really appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Matt.

if its flooded again there is a leak
could be failed parts, loose hoses etc but you will have to run it with the covers off to find it
