I have an Ariston dishwasher, which is about eight years old. The
only i.d. I can see on it are the letters K-LS 45/50 on the bar code
at the back of it.

It's been working ok since we had it but today it wouldn't start. The
only thing that happens is there's a slight 'buzzing' noise when the
go button is pushed.

Having looked inside the wash compartment of the machine, the water
from the previous wash hasn't been pumped out, there's about an inch
or so in the outlet depression in the base of the machine. Normally,
this is pumped out before the machine starts its cycle, it's the first
part of the cycle I suppose.

I have been looking to see how I can get inside this machine to
inspect/repair the pump but I can't see any obvious way into it. Do
the sides come off, or is the access plate on the bottom?

Anyone know?

TIA

Patrick
