Mend Beko Dishwasher Draining Finished

Beko dishwasher not draining?

I’ve got a BEKO DE 3431 FW dishwasher that is playing up. Yesterday morning, the dishwasher part finished an overnight intensive wash cycle with water left in the bottom of the washer – can’t confirm if the end light was on or not as the missus turned it off before I saw it. So turned the machine back on and it started to drain. After a few minutes all u could hear was the drain pump (?) continuing to hum. Regardless of changing the wash cycles, turning off and on etc, the humming continued. After a bit of online research, I tried the ‘tilt backwards’ trick and sure enough after tipping out some water in the bottom tray (which obviously activated the anti-flood switch), I selected a cycle and the humming had stopped but my consumer unit tripped after a couple of minutes. Took the machine outside, stripped the sides, bottom and front plinth for visibility and dried what I could (as I assumed the short was occurred from the original leak). I noticed the bottom door seal looked dodgy so I took it out and reinserted it. Spray arms were not blocked and filters were all clean. I opened up the water softener but only water came out. I then did a couple of test washes, looking for more leaks – first a pre wash which ended but it didn’t drain (never used it before so was unsure if normal) then a rapid wash. Got all the usual noises inside so the arms were spinning etc but the machine wouldn’t drain. So I interrupted the cycle and scooped out all the water and tried another rapid wash. Its just finished - no leaks, but the spray arms hardly moved this time, the impeller (?) on the bottom right side was turning and the washer filled up OK. No drain though – so the bottom of the machine is full of water. Any ideas?

I have a new beko dishwasher DSFS1531 and as per instructions used the prewash without loading with dishes. At the end of the cycle there is water remaining at the bottom of the machine how do I drain this.

remove drain pump quarter twist and pull.make sure the impeller is ok and look for crap in there.make sure the impeller snaps over as you turn it around slowly and finally replace it they are cheap enough.there is also a water counter which sorts water levels on the back of the inlet valve and also check heater works.also soak all the water out the sump under the filter and get a torch and have a good look in there for food/glass floating around
