Siemens SF64M330GB/15 integrated slimline dishwasher

[paulus22]

Just before Christmas and this breaks down!! The drain pump has given up and I have now got its replacement. I have removed the machine from its housing, and expected to access the pump from the bottom – but the bottom seems an integrated plastic assembly. How do I get into the machine to access the drain pump??

Wife giving me jip – any help is much appreciated.

Remove plug, door outer, lower cover panel. Pump is a twist-fit in the front left. Pull the transfer pipe out for better access.

Penguin45 – thanks for quick reply, but please help me to understand better.

Are you saying that this can be done with the machine in situ? And are the instructions:
1. to remove the plug (obvious)
2. remove just the kitchen front on the door, or the complete door (how?)
3. lower cover panel (I can see a metal cover panel with a cable loom clipped on its inside – is this it? or are you refering to the white plastic base, in which case how?)

Thanks in anticipation for this clarification

Making progress. Door off, panel off, can access the pump BUT it is not firmly located anywhere. The outlet is at the back – does it just need brute force, or is ther a technique for freeing the hose? The inlet is a rubber connection , which if I got off I wouldn’t know how to reconnect – since it is largely inside of a plastic shroud (maybe it pulls out then pushes back in again?). The pump itself just floats between these two connections.

Please give me little guidance here.

Finally, should I get that far, what is required to ensure good seeling of the new connections?

Thanks again,

Sorted! The replacement pump came assembled with the inlet/outlet chambers. Didn’t realise that I could seperate and swap just the pump onto the existing chambers – no connections to worry about.

Job’s a good’n. Thanks again.

Spoke too soon!

Put it all back after changing the drain pump – and its still not emptying!

Before changing the pump I had checked all of the basics:- filter, kink in pipe etc. and hence concluded it must be the pump – but it obviously is not. Any ideas where to next?
