Please confirm if this is the pressure pump and if so the seal must be replaced with the correct type specially if it has worn out. Also make sure that the fitment is tight and even so that there is no air gap for leak so as to reduce the pressure.Source the seal gaskets from the service dealer.

Remove the bottom strainers plates and make sure that the outlet pipe is not kinked, that there is nothing obstructing the pipe or the pump or selector valve. If possible back flush through the outlet pipe and try draining the machine again before using it again.

If you have hard water, glasses can look spotted and cloudy even after cleaning. Sometimes changing the dishwasher detergent can help. The easiest solution to clearing up glasses that start to look cloudy is toadd some vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher before you start a cycle. Simply add 1 cup of white vinegar and it will clear up your glasses very well.
You should see marked improvement after the first time you do this. If they are not crystal clear then simply repeat the process until all of the cloudiness is gone. In fact I recommend to using a little vinegar in each cycle to maintain the clarity of the glass.
Note: you can pre-test this by rubbing some vinegar on an individual glass with a cloth. If you cannot remove the cloudiness by soaking it and rubbing vinegar on it then it is possible that the glass is etched due to harsh or cheap dishwasher detergent and vinegar will not solve the problem.

Hi Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller.Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

remove it from the counter, unhook it, get something to tilt the front forward and get under it... Might not be the pump itself, is there a screen in the drain - or has something managed to get past that initial out drain?
Best regards

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about dishwashers and them leaking.Leaking Dishwasherheatman101

This means you have a problem with the pump, not pumping out the water it is probley filled or jamed with lint.

only the top half screw's would be enough, the pannel should popout then...

9 times out of 10 there will be debris stuck in the pump impeller... access from the bottom of dishwasher by tilting to side or back... common fault...
