Why Your Dishwasher Is Not Draining
Simple, practical guidance for homeowners before booking appliance service or installation.
Common Causes
A dishwasher that will not drain may have a blocked filter, a kinked drain hose, a clogged pump area, or a problem with the drain connection.
What You Can Check First
Check for visible food debris around the filter area and confirm the sink drain is not backed up. Avoid taking apart components unless it is safe to do so.
When to Call for Service
If water keeps sitting in the bottom of the unit, the dishwasher makes unusual noises, or an error code appears, it is best to have it diagnosed.
