ParticipantHi
I have a bosch SRS4002GB/01 slimline dishwasher. Has been working fine until the other day when it didnt completely empty of water.
I have checked the filters and pump impeller for blockages and all seem clear.
I have then run it through a cycle with the waste pipe in the sink, it ran through a full cycle but only the smallest trickle of water came from the pipe and bottom of dishwasher still full of water.
I have then run it through a cycle with the waste pipe into a bowl at floor level, this time the dishwasher went through a full cycle and drained properly, pumping all the water out!
Now i need help! Do i need a new pump and if so is it possibe to fit without an engineer? or could there be something more simple preventing the pump from working 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}
Thanks

Two possibilities.
Blockage down the line, or worn pump. If you can wield a screwdriver, remove the left hand side panel and have a damn good look at the matrix. The rear two tubes are the drain side – there may be an obstruction in there. It unclips sideways and lifts away for cleaning purposes. They have a bad habit of sludging in the top left hand corner, jamming the anti-syphon device – strange things then happen.
Pump motors do wear out. They may run, but a worn (noisy) unit simply may not get up to speed and therefore not clear the water. P/no 165261 – spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get you one prmptly enough, but no chance before Christmas. Marigolds time, I’m afraid.
Power off if you’re doing this yourself.
