BOSCH SRS45E08GB/18 not draining

[jonme]

Hi,
The dishwasher has sstopped draining. I have taken off the filters etc to check for blockages, cant see any. have also taken off the sides to see if I could see where the drain pump was. I can just about see it, but cant really get to it.

On the Bosch site, there is a video showing to check the impellor on some models, but mine doesnt seem to have access to it through the filter.

Any ideas on how to check if its the drain pump and how to get to it easily?

if it has a grey plastic inner liner then access is through the bottom, 2 torx screws and the tin plate base levers off pump should be easily accessible, unplug 1st though empty all water out lay on its back and be carefull of sharp edges

Thanks guys,

Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be a tin base plate, the base is a complete plastic tray, cant seem to get in from bottom.

There is a cover at the bottom front of the unit that comes off

Pump is here

There is very little room to move hand in there, so cant see that I could easily swap it out and refit the hose connections.

The pump is a twist lock with locking nib.
There is JUST enough room to twist it off to see if there is any debris in there.
You will get a small amount of water providing you have soaked up all the water from the sump below the filters.

Remove debris and re assemble.
Power off before you atempt any of this.

Sorted. Was a piece of glass in the impellor. Damn wine glasses.

Thanks all.
