Integrated dishwasher about 6 years old. Doesn't drain after each cycle. I have cleaned and flushed the drain pipe, so believe that's OK. However I have noticed that the bottom arm sprays the water but doesn't spin. Is this something that can be fixed without the need for calling a repairman?
I've had this problem a couple of times with my dishwasher. In both cases, the cause was a shard of broken glass that had managed to get past the filters and jam itself underneath the impellor. Hard to see, but easy to fix. First ladle out the water.
Pull off the lower rotor arm, unscrew the filter and take out the filter bowl, tray and cylindrical filter. Get as much water as you can out of the filter cavity.
Then, using a Torx-20 driver, remove the screw holding the impellor cover and lift the cover off. (this is the small bit of plastic at the left end of the filter cavity.) Check whether the impellor can rotate freely by spinning it with your finger several times - if it jams or grinds, then there's probably something jammed under it. (It may seem to be fine at first, so do check thoroughly, as any debris can move around with the water flow and only jam occasionally) You may have to use a cocktail stick or similar to poke out anything that's stuck underneath.
Glass is a particular problem, since it's almost impossible to see when there's any water around (it's easy to cut yourself too!)
Anyway, that's worked twice for me now - and I didn't have to even move the machine out of its cupboard to fix it.
Hope that helps.
To solve a not draining out problem with our NEFF dishwasher we had to clear the waste pipe that had been blocked with fat poured into a sink. In case you are not familiar with this I have outlined what we did.
Symptoms: The pump is working and your dishwasher waste pipe is connected to a sink waste pipe.
What we did:
It took a few minutes to clear the blockage and worked first time.
Check the wash arms for clog.
I have a NEFF dishwasher. There is water remaining in the salt compartment. Now the dishwasher will not operate at all. Any ideas ?

Hi
Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due
to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that
the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is
present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and
drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump
completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller &
clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the
complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps...
Please post back for any further assistance.

If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove
the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then
the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain
filter and drain pump. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump
impeller.

It appears that my dishwasher will fill and run but will not drain and then it just stops working altogether. I believe there may be a otor that runs the draining process and it may be bad. tThe dishwasher is at least 1o years old. Could this be the problem?
water will not drain & is new dishwasher model # du1055xtst2
