Bosch SL15K1B Dishwasher Not Draining

[seedsy4]

Hi there, my bosch dishwasher SL15K1B won't drain, the cycles work fine and the dishwasher washes the dishes properly but after evey cycle it won't drain the water out, even holding the start/stop button for 3 seconds to reset it doesn't do anything.
I have taken out the filters inside the dishwasher and cleaned them all but I can't get into the pump/sump area to have a look in there, does anyone know how to gain access to this area or if there is anything else I can try?
Thanks!

There could be a blockage or even kink in waste hose, so check hose first.
Then
Power off, lay the machine carefully on its back, do not lay on side! and remove the bottom plate, the pump should be found there.

Thanks for the reply, I've checked the hose and that's clear, I will have a look tonight at the pump, where about inside the bottom plate is the pump, what does it look like and can it be opened up to see if there is anything blocking it?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply again, some very good info on cleaning out the pump but as you can see on the second photo I uploaded there are no screws or flaps to lift up to get to the pump so I can't get into the pump, do you have any other ideas please,
Thanks once again!
