How can I clear a drainage blockage in my bosch classixx (Maxx)? Water is just collecting at the bottom of the dishwasher at the moment. No obvious food waste causing problem. Have taken out the silver base plate and cylindrical filter (both parts). Used wire brush in what we assume is the drainage outlet and no joy. Any ideas?

Hi JJ

I can't solve the whole problem but have part of the answer. i have the same issue & its not a blockage as such. The problem is with the float thing that activates the pump - this is in the little dome just by the silver grill, next to the cleaning arm. If you lift this dome the machine will empty. I have 'wiggled' it about and seems to be ok, could be it just got stuck. Anyway give it a go, if you get a better answer please let me know. Thanks
