My Dishwasher Will Not Drain?

If there is still water at the bottom of the dishwasher drain at the beginning of the drain period, rinse with hot water and repeat the dishwasher washing cycle.

Water in the bottom of the dishwasher or in the dishwasher itself can cause obstructions in the filter, waste disposal, drain hose, sewage pump or air gap. Food and sediment can accumulate in these areas and your dishwasher will not run. Food that accumulates in the waste disposal or waste disposal can clog up because there is less space for flushing water.

You can turn off your garbage disposal and run the dishwasher to clean food leftovers from the drain system. Remove the drain hose from your dishwasher, blow it out or use a long coat hanger to look for clear dirt. Execute the disposal and start the dishwasher to remove residual food particles and ensure that the drain is free of dirt.

Remove the lower front panel, separate the drain pipe from the sink and drain the pump if the end of the hose shows clogging up, remove the clogging hose and clean with a stiff the wire hanger. If at the bottom of the dishwasher you find a filter trap, clean it with a stiff brush and hot soapy water. If your dishwasher is quickly emptied, remove a trap filter and scrub it well with soap and water.

A kinked drain hose, a lighter plastic ribbed hose connected to the dishwasher drain pump, waste disposal or an air-sealed container can prevent water from draining. If the hose does not buckle, its interior may be clogged, preventing water from draining away. A large heavy can can be pushed under the sink, but it obstructs the hose, so explore the area and find the kink.

From the dishwasher, the dishwasher’s drain hose goes from top to top of an air gap connected to the dishwasher and the bottom of the gap touches the drain basket (or your waste disposal if you have one). Clean the air gap with water and a stiff brush and replace the gap before doing another dishwasher cycle.

The air gap can clog up over time as various waste accumulates, and the tell-tale sign can be seen when water seeps through the gap when you turn on the dishwasher. The most common reason a dishwasher stops working properly is that food leftovers clog the filter or water pump. If you do not dispose of your waste regularly or have not cleaned it regularly, food leftovers can accumulate and prevent water from properly draining into the dishwasher.

The dishwasher filter and the drain basket work together to catch food and substances during the washing cycle to prevent contaminated water from running back into your dishes after cleaning. However, over time, these filters can clog up with leftover food and soap foam, leaving water in the dishwasher.
