Bosch Dishwasher won't fill NOW!

[indigoking]

Good morning one and all, I have joined due to a dillema!

I have a Bosch Classix (older model 10yrs) no display just four wash option buttons on right hand side.

First it wouldn't drain, I couldn't find any info on getting at the drain pump...

So I thought if it's broke I have nothing to loose - I took it apart, well at least after solving the puzzle I got the bottom plastic case off - giving me access to all the components. I located the pump removed it, found it had a piece of china stuck in it - removed - reassembled (carefully noting where everything is supposed to go).
Of course an expert will now be at least chuckling - as I now realise all I need have done was to remove a single screw on the inside to clear the pump.
What's done is done - it drains fine, (I threw a bucket of water in) but it won't fill - seems the inlet solenoid isn't receiving power - I put a test meter across the terminals.
I read somewhere about a flood sensor.

Any ideas? it WAS working fine before this. Can't afford a new one!

Thanks in advance - Graham

Lean the machine forward onto a towel or a bunch of old newspapers to run any water off the bottom plate then try to restart it. If it was just a little spillage on the bottom plate all well & good, but if you have a leak someplace you'll have to track it down. Post model details if you don't get it up & running. Good luck

THANK YOU!
I did as you said... nothing really came out, just a few drips on the left side in front of the "labarinth", left it 5 or so minutes. Put it back upright, switched on nothing, reset and restarted - off she went
