Hi all, My dishwasher refuses to drain the water out, have checked all pipes, also taken pump and motor off and checked them, checked solenoid on multi meter 40 ohms (bang on), checked pipes again when putting it all back together, still the same, only other thing I can think off is the programmer maybe has a fault and not tellin it to drain.



Anyone got any ideas or know of someone in the Lapta area that maybe able to help.



Regards.

Scubadoo. Best to buy new Dishwasher could cost you more to put this one right.

Watcha ! the dishwasher water extraction system has an impellor which is the opposite to a proppellor and pushes the water out like a backward outboard motor ! if this has stopped functioning you will have a washer full of water . or the blades of the impellor may have been broken by some objects ! broken glass etc !!

Sounds like a pump leak. Try pulling it out and tilting backwards, if it emptys the pump is passing and my advice would be to just get another dishwasher.

It's the empty pump, just had the same thing happen to mine, took it apart, worked for a bit, then gave up, get another one, not worth the hassle

Impellor OK, Motor OK, Solenoid OK, all hoses and filters are clear. Makes me think it could be a programming fault.
