My dishwasher will fill, then wash but will not empty. It stops and both 1 and 2 lights flash but the manual does not say what this error is. I have blown through the pipe which at first was blocked but now I can blow bubbles up through the water standing in the dishwasher. Can anyone tell me what this error code is and can I try anything to fix it myself?

I tried flushing it out with lots of hot water then I jet washed into the outlet drain but still didnt work.
I took the pump off as described by alan and there was a slither of wood stuck in the pump. I removed this and spun the blade, put it back together and it is now working again. Yippee - thanks for the advice and good effort on having this site.
Nice one.

Thanks Alan, I also had that same problem and followed your instructions - there was a blockage in the pump - I removed it and the machine is now working perfectly.

I have had the same problem with mine, switch off the power and water to the machine, turn the machine over so that the bottom lid is exposed, remove the srews and you will see the pump attached to the drain hose, remove the retaining screw and twist off, remove the lead and hose, check internal of the pump for a blockage, rinse with water, and rotate the internal fan blade, reinstall in back on the machine, if this fails (and mine did start again) then you will require to replace the pump unit, details of it our on the top of the pump make a note of them before you put it back in. Hopefully you will not need them.
