Re: Bosch SHX56B06UC dishwasher won't drain

One month ago, I bought a house with a Bosch SHX56B06UC dishwasher.
I'm
guessing it's 5 or so years old, though I can't find a manufacturing
date on
it. Machine ran fine at 1st, now the pump will not drain the
machine. It
makes noises that sound as though the pump is running, (as when you
select
"cancel drain") but no water exits. Drain line is not kinked.
Filters are
also clear. I'm wondering if these symptoms point to any
particularly
likely problem with this particular machine (maybe they're prone to a
certain pump clog, etc? Any suggestions appreciated.

TIA

If the pump runs but doesn't shift the water out the drain hose may be
blocked. There may also be a drain valve which is blocked. Impellers
can fail but this is rare in my experience.

Here is a page describing a similar problem on another Bosch model
which may be relevant.
