Hi, hoping for some suggestions,
Our dishwasher is not draining waste water at end of cycle, or not when needed!
It's a Rengora from Ikea, so an electrolux, and at the end of a cycle it has waste water in the bottom and beeps twice intermittently. The trouble shooting says that it means a drainage problem. Checked the filter and the hose so far, and seems from an internet search that it could likely be a blockage or ineffective impeller or drainage pump.
However before I dismantle and have a look at the pump, I'm not sure if it is these. The reason why is that at the start of the cycle the machine empties any water in the bottom of the machine, so surely that would say it isn't the usual suspect?
After disconnected the drain hose from the plumbing to check for blockages I placed the outlet in the sink to monitor a few wash cycles (it's normally connected to a washing machine inlet and was thinking of adding an air admittance vent as it sucks air from the sink when emptying) and on a wash cycle it
- runs prewash and empties water fine
- runs wash cycle might start to empty a bit but will stop and start beeping
- so does not get to the dry part.
If I then press reset and start a cycle it empties all the water fine (and just abort before it does a full wash)
If I press the on/off without opening the door it will empty, as have pulled the unit out a bit, but think this is same as restarting.
I can't seem to find anyone reporting similar, and wondered what it likely could be. Aiming to check the pump next weekend.
