Troubleshooting
Why is my dishwasher not draining?
Standing water can come from a clogged filter, debris near the drain pump, a kinked or blocked drain hose, a backed-up sink or disposal, or a failed pump. The pump should not be the first assumption, because a clogged filter is far more common and much cheaper to fix.
Safe checks you can make
- Make sure the cycle finished and was not paused or interrupted.
- Clean the removable filter following your owner's manual. Watch for broken glass and sharp objects.
- If the dishwasher drains through the disposal, check whether the sink or disposal is backing up.
- If the drain hose is visible without moving the machine, look for a kink or crushing.
- Write down any flashing light pattern or fault code.
Do not reach into an exposed pump, take wiring apart, or pour chemical drain cleaner into the dishwasher. If water is leaking near electrical parts, stop using the appliance and avoid touching wet electrical equipment.
Service
When to call us
Call if the water remains after you clean the filter, the machine repeatedly stops with water inside, the pump hums or grinds, a fault code persists, or it leaks onto the floor. Homes differ in water quality and plumbing layout, and mineral deposits, food debris, and disposal connections can all matter. In rental properties, heavy use can clog filters faster.
Helpful when you call: the appliance and brand, model and serial number, what it is doing or not doing, when it started, and any error code or unusual sound.
