I have an ancient AEG OKO FAVORIT 545i dishwasher.
I've checked the secondary drain hose (to the main drain), and it's not blocked, but how to actually get into the machine is a mystery to me without a workshop manual. I've taken off the kickplate at the front, but that's as far as I've got.
Any tips would be most appreciated.

Going back a bit here Peter but I can remember one design of AEG machine which might be yours, if so, after you have removed the kickplate, tip the machine back against wall, there is a galvanised plate to remove or at least pull bottom edge forward to let the black plastic drip tray of the machine drop down.You can then see the underneath workings of the machine and the pump.
