I'm tried checking the plastic tubes, filter, and drain hole within the dishwasher but no clogs.

The black pipes that go into to ground are not drained since this same is used frequently everyday by my sink with no issues.

I tried scooping the water out. Turning off the breaker to the power for 30 minutes. Holding the start by to reset it.

But it will not drain the water nor do a proper cleaning. And to sanitized light flashing. It seems maybe looking for a product to start sanitize cycle maybe? We tried adding liquid to it, closing it, doing a sanitize cycle, but the same problem.

Does the motor/pump work at all, spraying water around inside? If yes, and there are no clogs, check the drain solenoid - it should actuate a valve that directs the pumped flow of water through the drain pipe instead of the sprayers.

    I can hear water spraying inside yes.

    Drain solenoid -- I'm new to this stuff, how would I go about checking if it actuates a valve?

    Look for your brand / model sevice manual on-line, it should have troubleshooting and testing procedures as well as part # lists and replacement guides.

    In the user manual I found this. Searched "Bosch Silence Plus 50 user guide". Since they made multiple models with this name, get the model number off of the sticker on the right side on the door to refine the search.

    Large food remnants in the rinsing water not
retained by the filters may block the waste
water pump. 
In this case:
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 
• Remove the filters (see Figures 11-12).
• Scoop out standing water - use a sponge if
necessary.
• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see Fig-
ures 14-15) until it clicks, then grip the cover
and pull upward until it resists and then pull
forward.
• Check inner compartment and remove any for-
eign objects.
• Place cover in the original position, press
down and engage.
• Reinstall filters.
