In my limited experience older washers tended to have a filter to protect the pump but more modern washers find a simple trap is fairly efficient. The are usually accessible from the front of the machine after removing a panel but if the washer hasn't drained prepare for a flood. The handbook should provide details.

My friend was a white appliance engineer and he found he often needed to remove a drain hose and rod it through to remove a long sausage of detergent powder residue.

Two things I can think of , the coupling to the pump has broken or a coin or other object has entered the pump and jammed it. either way the pump will have to be removed for repairs.

Pump won't drain water and keeps faulting for pump cleaning. Have turned it off, unplugged pump filter, cleaned it and restarted it several times with no luck. What else could be wrong??

Check to see if there is a drain filter. My GE has a small "door" at the bottom of the machine that has a filter behind it. If so ALL of the water will drain when you open it so be prepared. Then clean all of the junk from inside the filter or "trap"

Won't drain after rinse cycle.

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.

My washer did fill, but won't spin or drain now and the door won't open

Hi tragz,

If it can't drain, it won't spin. There may be something preventing the pump from draining in the Pump filter. You will need to clean it.

Please follow my below Tip on how to do it:

ACCESS, DRAIN & CLEAN THE DRAIN PUMP FILTER

Dishwasher won't drain

Hi



Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. 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.

Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat.

The dishwasher is not draining and won' t go into a program.

Hello
Please check the drain pump filter and try to clean the drain hose, pump filter for any clogs/blockages. After this also check drain pump operation, if after cleaning the problem is not solved then replacing the drain pump is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
