The waste from my miele G665SC dishwasher won't drain away, i've taken the large filter section off and it's all clean and run a cycle without it but it still won't go, is there another filter i haven't found yet?

Hi David, funnily enough i decided to investigate a bit further and found the impeller there wasn't a great deal of muck in there just a few bits but it does spin freely. I've run it a few times since and it's all drained away however just this morning it hasn't gone again so i think it's probably the pump on its way out so it looks as tho i'll be calling the miele man too! Thanks for your answer and good luck with your machine.

Hi james

Firstly I am no expert ! I just have exactly the same problem as you with the same dishwasher.
I have taken the main filter off and drained the base .
I have also taken off the valve that is secured by a wire strap. You will see a small impeller there. That is where I think my problem is ! as it does not run freely when i flick it with my finger - so in my case I think I will need the Meile man unless I can get behing the inpeller to really free it up ! This could be your problem so try and free it up . it may have some thread or the like around it restricting rotation. If that doen't work then you are in the same boat as me right now. Which means I have to drain it myself after every wash ! until it is fixed.
I hope I have been of some help !
