Bosch Dishwasher SGS45E62GB Leak

[dorset972]

Hello.
Exact same symptoms as previous post "SGS66EO2GB Water in base". The program stopped with 53mins to go with pump running continuously. The door could be opened and the pump would still run.
Had both sides off and there is much dirty water in the base.
The flood float seems to have cut in due to the water in the base as when the float is held down, we managed to run a quick program sucessfully.
A couple of questions. How is the best way to remove the water and where should I start looking for leaks? The salt conatiner nut seems quite tight.
Many thanks in advance.

Tip it back will empty most but not all.
Soak up the rest with a tea towel, be sure to have the diahwasher unplugged.
Next locate the leak, switch on and observe.
There are too many possibilities to list that could cause flooding, just watch and see what happens.
