Tilt the locking clamp to the side. The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow). Before replacing the non-return valve, check to make sure that nothing is obstructing the drain pump. Spin the impeller several times in both directions; it should turn smoothly.

If your water supply is hard, or the pipes contain sediment; this filter may clog and prevent sufficient water from entering the wash cabinet. It can be cleaned as follows: Cleaning the filter. Disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply (unplug it or shut off the circuit breaker). Turn off the main shutoff valve and unscrew the intake hose. Remove the filter using needle nose pliers and clean it by rinsing under running water. [. . . ] If the water pressure is too low the machine may not take in enough water in the alloted time and the "Intake/Drain" indicator lamp will flash (see "Problem solving guide"). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer must be installed.
