You can access the drain pump impellor from under the filters. It will almost certainly have eaten something which has disagreed with it. Bail as much water as you can by hand first, or you won’t be able to see what you’re doing.

POWER OFF FIRST!

And take great care: broken glass can be invisible in water!

The drain pump cover is at approx, the 1 o’clock position.

i have checked this and completely cleaned every part took it all to pieces cleaned it and put it all back still not emptying i suck the water out via the outlet pipe with a vax machine so i know there are no blockages?

So is the pump actually running? Is the impellor free to turn?

There is a big hump at about 11 o’clock – thats the impellor (propellor) for the circulation pump. To its right, behind and under the translucent tube running across is the cover for the drain pump.

Hi
If there are no blockages and the impeller is still attached to metal shaft of drain pump, it should empty.
Perhaps Trilobite has something useful to add besides power off 😀

Whilst the internet is a wonderful tool, it does have its limitations. I think that we may have reached that in this instance. In all honesty it may be time to contact a local engineer to come and have a look at your machine.

If you can find no obstructions to the pump, then checking the pump, the wiring, and control systems is the next step, something best left to someone with the correct technical information, test equipment and expertise.
