How to unblock drain on Bosch dishwasher?

[PVee]

Hi, I have a 10 year old Bosch SL15K1B dishwasher type sgs43a42uk/01. Today I’ve noticed it will not drain – on completion of the cycle there is a lake of soapy water in the bottom. If I force a reset by holding the start/stop button for 3 secs I can drain a little of the water, but I have to do this 6 times to drain it completely. The pump runs but only drains a little.

Obviously there’s a blockage somewhere, just wondering how to proceed, ie which panels I have to remove to get to the drain pump?
Thanks

If the drain is connected to the kitchen sink I would check that first as they are rebound for getting block at that point!!
