Part of trying the get my dishwasher to drain https://piefed.ca/c/diy@slrpnk.net/p/894317/help-fixing-my-dishwasher-it-won-t-drain-and-is-stop-on-sanitize-mode
I have removed to drain pump, solenoid, water heater.
The drain pump white part spins with no obstruction at all.
With a multimeter:
My solenoid is about to get 984 OHMs resistance.
I’m not sure how to check my drain pump. I don’t see any connector end. Closest thing are these 6 metal spike thing pointed out on the motherboard.
I don’t see any visible blockage.
I’m not sure if I need to check the voltage as well. And I’m not sure if i need the dishwasher running with water to test. Problem is still stuff is located at the bottom of the dishwasher. If I wanted to check the voltage with running water.









These are the steps. It maybe stops somewhere between step S.02 - S.09
Edit: Changed the 5s to s
So those are “S” not 5 as in step 1, step 2, step 3, etc if you hook it back up and start the “Customer Service Program” per the instructions at the top of the page the display will read out the step its on, it will do that step for the time indicated in the 3rd column and it will be doing the action indicated in the last column, then it will move on to the next step. This allowes you to watch and listen to each step to make sure its doing what it should. Find one that is not and you probably IDed the issue.
With the procedure listed you won’t have to touch the hot circuts, and you shouldnt, just listen and observe, make note of any action that is not doing what is described.
A “hot” circuit means one that has the power on.
To guide mentions buttons I do not have in order to use special function menu.
I tried asking AI, and it mentioned holding left arrow plus right arrow, then turning to changing on, and clean should flash multiple LEDs.
Delicate wash flashes and express wash stays lit when doing this. Then pressing start lights both those LEDs. Then press start again, I can hear something clicking twice, then the active and clean LEDs flash including delicate and express wash.
And if I try doing a normal wash. Some thing but the sanitise light flashes. And no water this time
The buttons aren’t labeled on the front of your machine as A B or C. But A is the button furthest to the left, B is the middle button, and C is the button on the right. Post a pic of the front of the machine with the controls or post the make and model.
Hmmm, looks like the tech sheet you have is for a dishwasher that has a 3 digit 7 segment display. Odd that it would have the wrong sheet. This looks like thee correct version for your model, follow the steps that say for shx (the first part of your model number).
Oh thank you. I understand better now.
The active and clean light are flashing which the others person shared from their diagram that it could be to drain pump.
Bosch SilencePlus 50 DBA shx3ar75uc/28
This might be the LED to service modes that can apply to yours.

I THINK this is for your model
The active and clean lights are flashing. So is normal washing. I’m guessing the drain pump is bad. And I don’t see anything visibly clogging it.
Those two flashing complains about the drain pump. Another comment I saw showed the drain pump cover not being pressed down all the way until it clicks in can cause it.

I can’t find the actual repair manual for that model though to decode the menu options for the service mode. Another similar display less model probably has the same meanings for the flashing LED lights. Their UI is atrocious.
