It's not draining. i have an older model superba dishwasher and does not drain

Hello, I would look for a kink or a blockage of the drain hose. Also check the drain pump belt for looseness or breakage.

Sounds like the pump belt is broken. Accessible from the front, under the machine.

Disconnect the drain line from the sink and put it in a pail.
Turn the timer to a pump out cycle and see what comes out of the drain.
If it still drains poorly, replace the pump impeller.

does it make a buzzing sound when on pump? if so then the pump is trying but is either jammed or there is a blockage in the waste hose/outlet u bend. try seeing if there is a blockage in the waste hose first.

Usually this problem is due to the fact that the dirty particle filled water isn't fully draining and the unit is trying to rinse the dishes with fouled water thus baking any leftover food particles during the dry cycle.
Make sure that all of the water is draining from the dishwasher after all drain cycles.

Usually poor draining is due to a blockage or partial blockage in the drain line,also the blockage can be at the drain pump itself or where the drain connects to the under sink drain

check the holes in the spray arms to see if they are plugged also brand and model number will help

look the draining pipe of it, check if there's something blocking it.
