Hello everybody it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel I'm here to save you time and
money and today it's the Bosch dishwasher maybe you've got an error
E25 which means your pump filter is blocked I'll show you how to take it out
give it a good clean and I'll show you how to check the waste water pump make
sure that the propeller is spinning properly right let's get cracking, the first thing
you need to do is find the plug where the dishwasher is plugged in and turn it
off then open the door on the dishwasher and you need to remove the cutlery trays
the bottom one is easy I don't need to show you how to do that it literally
just rolls out the top one is slightly trickier it's on these roller runners
here so what you do is pull it out and then just lift it over the divut at the
end and you've got one more set of wheels there just lift it over and then
just put it on the floor, and the filter that we want to remove is here and
there's a link above now about how to install a brand new washing machine now
what you're doing with this filter is you're just turning it anti-clockwise a
few turns and then once that releases the catch you can then just lift it out
the whole mechanism just comes out then just turn it until you feel it loosen
and then lift and as you can see it's lifted away now we are really careful
with our dishwasher what we put in it but look at that that it's disgusting that
needs a really good clean and you can see why water wouldn't be draining away
properly or your dishes won't be coming out super clean, before I clean all that
let's just check the waste water pump what you'll need is you'll need a
sponge because you need to get rid of any excess water in here and just
squeeze that into a bucket this gives you access to the waste water pump
propeller which we're going to check make sure there's no debris in there and
that it spins freely, whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about what
to do if your washing machine is not draining water,
now I'll just speed this footage up what you're basically doing is just keep
putting that sponge in until all the water is out of there now what you can
do is take a blunt instrument it's easiest with a metal spoon, make sure
it's a decent quality spoon and not a rubbish one because otherwise it will
Bend and then you will be doing your Uri Geller impression, now what you're doing
is you're just putting it behind this clip here and you're just levering out
this clip once it pops out you can then get your fingers on it and just pull it
upwards so just pull it up and it should just slide towards you and now you can
see down the bottom is the propeller you just want to make sure there's no debris
in here and that this spins freely so I'm just going to get my finger on it
and just turn it make sure that it spins freely and this one is really good so
there's no problems here, if you've got any debris or dirt or long hair in there
make sure you get that all nice and clear, well I'm happy with that so we can
just put the clip back in what you're doing is you're just sliding it
downwards once it slides all the way down just push that inwards and then
you'll just hear the clip go in and it should just pop in and that's in nicely,
there right let's go and clean the filter now and there's a link above now
about what to do if your fabric softener is not dispensing in your washing
machine, okay this filter is absolutely
disgusting and you don't want to be washing this in your washing up Bowl
because all of that is going to be going down the sink and blocking
your sink and then I'll be making another video about how to unblock your
sink so the best thing to do is take your wife's toothbrush or your partner's
toothbrush and just get as much debris and dirt off as you can and just scrape
into the bin, [Wife calls] 'Lurgs have you been using my toothbrush for cleaning the dishwasher
this time?' No of course not! This one is pretty disgusting
now we're really careful with what we put in our dishwasher all the plates and
cutlery we make sure that all the food is off but it's still got a good bit of dirt
on this filter let's just get all this off once you've got as much of it off as
you can you can then put it in the washing up Bowl fill that up with hot
soapy water and again use your wife or partner's toothbrush and just give it a
good clean just going to use some washing-up liquid whilst I'm giving
these two objects a good clean there's a link above now on various how-to guides on
all sorts of makes and models of washing machines there's some really useful
information in that playlis,t now I'll cut this footage short but basically
you're just giving this a really good clean with your toothbrush
making sure it's spic and span there's no dirt on it it's looking good now just
push it back on it just clips in very easily it's already on, now we can put
this back into the dishwasher don't forget to put your wife's toothbrush back
and hope they don't notice,
now this is a fairly simple fit it just slides in and just push it down don't
force it it should just go in very naturally and these arrows here should
line up that's when you know that it's screwed in properly
to just turn it clockwise until those two arrows line up and you'll feel it
start to tighten to get in tighter and tighter and that we are locked in,
absolutely fantastic, now just put your trays back in, the
bottom one is easy just slide straight in on the rollers top one slightly
tricky you will need two hands for this job and it would help if you unloaded
all the cutlery first then it wouldn't be as heavy! Now you'll notice on this
one you've got different height wheels this is so you can actually make the top
tray higher or lower make sure you get those wheels on the same one both sides
and there's a link above now about various how-to guides on toilets and
plumbing. If after performing all those steps your dishwasher is still not
draining water then you can check the drainage hoses and the u-bend and I'll
take you through those steps now, you will need to pull your dishwasher out so
you're just looking for any gunk and buildup in the drainage system so this
is the drainage pipe out of the back of the dishwasher, excuse the state of the
kitchen there underneath the dishwasher, make sure we've got an old bucket and a
sponge because there will be water so this is the drainage so empty any bits
of it into there and again this is looking pretty good have a quick look
down the end no obvious blockages in there make sure you leave that resting
in the bucket and now we're just going to check the u-bend because this is the
prime target for any blockage, if there's any gunk it's just gonna sit in there and
that's why it's designed so that anything sits in there doesn't block up
the drain elsewhere and actually looking down there looks
pretty good just put a little plastic tray underneath, I just got this from the Chinese
takeaway obviously after I'd eaten my Chinese, now just undo these they're just
hand tight so they should be fairly easy to undo in fact I only needed to do this
one here on the right hand side because I'm just going to take the whole pipe
off of the wall, there's just a couple of screws at the top there we go and again
the water is looking pretty good so I unscrewed the clip at the top so the
whole pipe is going to come out now let's just pull that away and then we're
just gonna pour this excess water into the sink again that doesn't look like
there's a blockage in there so looking pretty good all looks pretty good to me
it's not blocked up so this can go back on
let's get this pipe back on
there just offer it up and then gently hand tighten it don't use pliers or
anything just use your hand, just hand tighten it don't over tighten it because
these are only plastic threads make sure the waist pump hose is back in don't
forget to do that obviously otherwise you'll have a lot of water all over your
floor and now it's time for a lovely cup of tea, and after all that hard work it's
definitely time for a lovely cup of tea, oh, if you found that video useful please
