My Bosch SHE4AM12UC01 Dishwasher stopped draining completely. It's the second time it has done this. Back in Mar 2015 it stopped draining and I replaced numerous components including the Drain Pump, Float Switch, Controller Board and drain line. The drain line finally seemed to fix the problem. I installed a longer line that could loop higher under the sink.

It worked fine again until last week. I found the repair manual for the dishwasher and ran the diagnostic test. The first result stated that the drain pump was not functioning correctly. I removed it and cleared the vanes and reran the test and it passed. Now the result is no error lights which is supposed to indicate a bad aqua sensor. Research says this determines if another rinse cycle is needed and the dishwasher should still function without it working.

If I start a cycle, the dishwasher will drain (I can see a nice flow into the garbage disposal). However, if we run a compete cycle there is standing dirty water in the base of the tub.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Thanks

Spike, any chance it's the sink drain that is running slow? My Fridig DW acting in a similar fashion and it was the "P" trap in the sink that was plugged. First and second drain cycle would be ok and then it would start backing up.
