If you have a garbage disposal take the drain off and check the end of the hose and the port on the garbage disposal for blockage. If the drain is clear then you will need to get to the bottom of the unit. on the side of the motor there is a little solenoid attached to a stainless steel rod this is what changes the valve when the pump is running to drain instead of spray. That is probably the issue

You will need to remove the pipe from the pump to see if there is a blockage first, if no blockage a new pump should do the trick, I have had this happen twice to me and a new pump fitted by me done the trick.

Dishwasher ADPU 701 WH showes error code F6 E1. Stopped mid cycle. How can I drain the machine ?

Error code F6 E1 on a Dishwasher ADPU 701 WH typically indicates a problem with the water pump or drain system. It is possible that the dishwasher stopped mid-cycle because the pump is clogged or the drain is blocked.

To drain the machine, you can try the following steps:

Unplug the dishwasher: To ensure your safety, unplug the dishwasher from the power outlet before attempting any repairs.

Locate the drain hose: The drain hose is typically located at the back of the dishwasher, near the bottom.

Detach the drain hose: Use a pair of pliers to gently loosen the clamp that secures the drain hose to the dishwasher. Then, carefully remove the hose from the dishwasher.

Place the drain hose in a bucket or sink: Position the end of the drain hose in a bucket or sink to allow the water to drain out.

Check for blockages: Inspect the drain hose for any blockages or debris that may be causing the error code. Use a small brush or toothpick to remove any blockages.

Reattach the drain hose: Once you have cleared any blockages, reattach the drain hose to the dishwasher and secure it with the clamp.

Plug in the dishwasher: Once the drain hose is securely in place, you can plug the dishwasher back in and try running a cycle to see if the error code persists.

Lights 2+4 flashing on dishwasher & won't drain

Doe the pump make a sound as if it's trying to pump out? As it sounds as though your pump is either obstructed, or the outlet waste water pipe from back outside of the dishwasher to the drain, maybe bent somewhere or blocked & not allowing water to exit the dishwasher, if both are clear of blockages & no noise of the pump kicking in to empty the dishwasher then I would definitely say the pump has failed...

I hope this helps....

WATER WILL NOT DRAIN OUT

Sounds like either you have a blockage in the drain pump or the drain hose is blocked.
The washing machine will run the drain pump for about 2 to 3 minutes to empty water from the drum then stop automatically.
If the pump is blocked or the drain hose blocked or kinked then water will be left in the drum.
Blockages are usually caused by buttons, bra wires or metal objects from pockets eg coins.
The pump can be popped open using simple tools ie screwdriver and any obstruction removed easily. The drain hose can be detached and a metal object eg knife dropped through to test for a blockage.hope this helps

Water is not draining

Check drain hose first.

If you do not find any blockage, then you will need to access the pump, remove pump hose and look for blockage in there.

If there is no blockage at all, then either the water level switch, a faulty pump, a wiring problem, or a faulty timer board can be cause the machine not draining.

Dishwasher doesn't drain

suspect not draining properly all the time. if plumbed into the trap under the sink, then check there is no blockage there. (quite common) . hold drain pump into a bucket so you can see the rate of flow. hold the bucket about 3ft off the floor. if poor flow, then you either have a blockage at the pump or the pump is faulty
