They definitely sounds like very similar issues! If you manually drain yours and then turn it on for a normal cycle, does it fill with water? I'm pretty sure mine doesn't.
Hi,
To take the side off, I needed to remove the top which was straight forward. From memory, there are a couple of plastic catches at the rear that need pushing while trying to slide the top. From your description, I don't think you'll find access to the drain pump there.
Please report back...
Hi,
The above dishwasher failed to drain the last time it was run so rather than do simple thing and get someone to have a look, I decided to have a go myself. I ended up replacing the inlet value but that hasn't fixed the issue.
The symptoms are:
- Water doesn't drain
- If manually drained...
