Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me....
I have a Bosch dishwasher, it's about 6 or 7 years old. Water started being left in the bottom at the end of the cycle, so I did the usual, checked the waste pipe, unscrewed the cover in the sump and checked the propeller, removed and checked the rubber valve flap. All ok. Tried again, it worked, then a few days later the same.
This problem has been going on for a couple of months now. Sometimes it will work ok for 2 weeks then it will return and usually after double-checking the propeller is not inhibited a couple of cycles through rinse and quick wash and it has been resolving. Today I cannot clear it. I've had the outlet hose into a bucket, some water dribbles out and I can't get it to clear. I can hear the pump running so either there is a blockage somewhere or the pump is in some way faulty - not sure hiw to check the outlet pipe for a blockage and the appliance end?
Given its age and our intention to replace is next year anyway if the kitchen refurb goes ahead, I am reluctant to spend much on it, but wasn't planning ob buying a new machine this year.
Suggetions very welcome, thanks
