OK..Got It! Your filter has disconnected from the Drain Pump. You need to have the machine's cover removed and re-attach the Filter back on to your Drain Pump! OKey...Dookie?

Just had the same problem, after Much patience and persistence I found the blockage at the y piece that joins the pump to the outlet hose air trap towards the top of the machine LHS with the top and cover off.

It was clogged solid therefore no back pressure on the top little ball valve (between the air trap and the outlet) therefore no seal therefore norain therefore a drain-fault that persists regardless of a cleaned pump filter.

My washing is stuck in the machine, the door wont open - it has done an 'e' wash and wont go anyfurther. The dial keeps turning round but wont let me select anything.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

I have an error code E24 on my new Bosch Silence Plus dishwasher........what does this mean?

ERROR E24:
Faulty drain pump or blockage.
Drain pump, pump's wiring or control board fault.
Pump's electrical resistance is incorrect.
This could indicate a short, open circuit or water ingress.
Try unplugging 15 min or so.
This will 'hopefully' re-boot the electronics circuit 'brain'.
Failing that, try replace parts one-by-one, starting with drain-pump.
If you stop washer full of water, it creates a heavy load,possibly stalling the pump
I'm not 101% sure, but 'stalled pump' could be the E25 error code also mentioned in question.
Remove water by hand or whatever means you can.
If you have an Aquavac-type vaccuum cleaner this works.
Check your filters are clear of water.
Remove the impellor cover then try to turn pump impellor.
It should be able to turn easily.
If not, pump is stuck.
The impellor cover is a small plastic cover secured by a single screw, located at the bottom / side of the machine, usually at the back or left.
An 'impellor' is technical gobbledegook for a water 'propellor' or 'fan' to drive water by centrifugal force.
Technical terms designed to confuse people LOL. :)
All done?
Refit the cover and try the machine again.
Hope this helps,
Clive.

Water will not drain out of bottom of machine.

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.

Water fills washer fine but when draining it only trickles out ? could something be stuck in hose?

Hi from Englishman in France.
At the bottom of the front on the majority of washers is an access plate for the FILTER of the drain pump. It is probably round and should remove with an anticlockwise turn/twist. If your water supply contains a lot of calcium (as ours does!) removing the cover MIGHT NOT bring the actual filter out. I had to patiently squirt antical into it and gently pursuade it to come out. Ours is a Bosch and the filter and cover, although separate, are held together by a rubber 'gasket'.
Once the cover and filter are removed it is normally possible to see the inlet pipe to the pump AND the pump itself, as it is at the lowest point of the discharge pipe, and thus any 'detritus'.
I also remove the whole bottom plate and can then see the outside of the whole pump.

Hope this assists- it's expensive to call in a 'Mr (or Mrs) Fixit' for something like this.

Best of luck

Washer is Kenmore He2 model # 110.46462501

Hi,
It sounds like you have something stuck in the pump.
To repair
Unplug machine.
Remove bottom front panel(remove 2-3 screws in the bottom) Pull bottom of panel out and down to remove.
Towards the center bottom you will see the pump. On the front is a round thing that resembles a filter. This is the pump filter screen...Get a shallow pan to put under screen. Turn lid counter clockwise to remove(turn slowly and allow water to drain. As you may need to dump pan several times before all water is drained out. Be carful or you could end up with water everywhere. Once the water is drained pull out screen and remove the debris and objects stuck in screen and filter housing you should also be able to see the impeller on the pump inspect for debris. Once everything is cleaned out reverse removal procedures put back together.

o k find the acess panel in the front or back then follow this procudure most likely there is something jamming the pump look on the back and you might see an access panel remove it and you will see a large hose coming down from the tub.Now the washer will still be full of water.There are three ways to deal with this the best way is to get a shop vac.remove the drain hose from the stand pipe and vac the water out,the second is to get a pair of radiator hose clamps from the auto parts store and clamp the large hose as close to the tub as possible ,the third is you can get a bucket remove the drain hose from the stand pipe and getting as close to the floor as possible let the water drain in the bucket .after that put some towels around the pump.Remove the clamp and slide the large Rubber boot off the pump look in the pump for foreign objects jamming the impeller blades and for broken blades if broken replace the pump.feel in the boot for same as pump .Then reassemble if nothing found then go check drain hose.
