If your Blomberg dishwasher will not drain, it might be the same problem that I had. The filter is a bad design and it lets a lot of debris through. The hose from the dishwasher to the main drain is very small and it gets plugged. Under the sink, loosen the clamps around the hose going into the main drain and take off the dishwasher hose. I use a screwdriver to push the debris through the small hose (that is attached to the big main drain hose) into the big one where it will be carried away. Then I turn on the dishwasher, hold the start button of the dishwasher for three seconds and shut the door. It drains like magic. The first time I did this, it took two hours to figure it out and now I can do it in three minutes. I am going to write to Blomberg now and see about this terrible filter system!
allvikingparts.com said there should be three filters for the Blomberg. We have the three; fine, course and metal filters. Investigating further, we find that the fine filter was not securely screwed into the base of the dishwasher allowing debris to go under the filter. I still think it could be a better system!
Great suggestion; this worked for me-- checked the connection between the dishwasher's (a Blomberg 15140) drain hose the main drain, and a ha'penny sized piece of broken ceramic (sitting perfectly as a valve...but with no spin...) was the culprit. I'll be sure to ensure the filter is securely screwed to the base the next time I clean it out. Thanks to allvikingparts.com and to KbeaN1.
