Mend Tricity Bendix Dishwasher Drain Problem

Why doesn't my Tricity Bendix DH090 dishwasher drain all the water out?

I have a Tricity Bendix DH090 dishwasher and it has been no problem. But lately it has not been draining properly, leaving enough water behind to cover the filters, sometimes even more. There were no warning signs or indications this was about to happen. I have checked the outlet pipe for blockages or clogging (There's None); no kinks and no squashed pipes, and apart from pulling it out in order to check these things, the dishwasher has not been moved since installation.
I am at a loss, so suggestions for sorting it or which parts might need replacing,please... anyone? x

Tricity Bendix Kitchen Appliances, Dishwashers Dishwasher Drain Problem

Sometimes you can get a small object jamming the drain pump impeller. You can clear the blockage from inside the washing chamber.

Remove the filters and bail out the water. Right at the very bottom of the sump you may notice a plastic cover held in place by a single security screw - Torx usually.

Under the cover is the impeller of the drain pump - it should move freely but with a bit of magnetic resistance. Tweezers will help to clear away any crud that may be making it stall.

Well - this is how my machine is...

Good luck...
