Dishwasher not washing after filling

Dishwasher not washing after filling

We have a Bosch dishwasher (E number SGS4332AU/30) that fills with water at the start of the cycle but doesn't wash, although it releases the soap powder and will drain when I press reset. I thought there might have been bubbles in the intake hose and that it might not have been filling properly but have flushed the house thoroughly and it's still not working properly. We bought it secondhand and it was working fine for a few weeks before it stopped working properly. Any advice anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

Steffan, the wash motor seems to be the problem. The hum is happening when the wash motor should be running. The motor impeller could be frozen due to rust or something is stuck in the blades. Broken glass is usually the cause. Glass will cut seals and cause unnoticeable leaks that rust the motor shaft/bearing. Depending on your model, you might consider replacing the wash motor and sump to ensure you get new seals and impeller. Costs a little more but is usually easier to replace and you’ll have piece of mind knowing the seals are good. REMOVE POWER TO UNIT BEFORE DOING REPAIRS
