After the full cycle, the plates/cups etc taste of soap & salt. The water all gets pumped out but what little is left in the bottom of the bowl is all soapy and yukkie. It is almost as though the rinse has not taken place. I would like to check all the pipes and any filters inside the machine. I have managed to get the front kick panel off but I can't see how to get at the pumps and pipes.

Thanks for coming back to me. I actually removed the cover to the small holes and exposed the impeller and there was nothing to be seen. I was nervous as to how hard to push wire up the other holes so I am afraid I chickened out. Do you know of it is possible to get manuals for these things. I have run it several times (empty) and there doesn't seem to be any blockage as the water gets pumped out at a strong rate but if I catch the water in a bowl it is very cloudy. Any other thoughts please?

(what i would try first) remove all filter parts in sump base use a small piece of wire, coat hanger ect, and scrape the slots where the water drains away towards the sump do not push objects through the slots, small chicken bones ect will jam the pump. hope this helps.
