Diswasher not draining

It is likely that there is some minor clogging in the diswasher drain filter.Clean as per the user instructions available with the dishwasher. Also likely the kitchen drain could be clogging. Buy a dishwasher cleaning kit from supermarket. Finish make a good product. Use it to clean the dishwasher as per instructions on the kit.

It is most likely the drain pump. If the drain pump passes a tech's test ok, have the drain passage checked for clogs.

Hi,

If the unit doesn't drain properly check for any kinked hoses and also check the drain spigot under the sink where the drain hose goes into the sink as these are not always opened up enough for the water to escape and a slight shoulder can then trap food particles and cause a blockage.
As for the base tray getting water inside the unit check inside the cabinet to make sure the top spray arm lock nut is tight and the ring on the side of the unit is not loose inside the cabinet where the water enters the unit. These two things can cause water to run down the side panels and into the base. The black hose i think is the overflow pipe. Also make sure you are not using too much detergent and the correct detergent as this can over sud and water can spill into the base. Hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Dishwasher not draining properly or not draining at all issues can arise due to different reasons. Usually, these issues are related to kinked hoses, knocked out disposer unit (if connected with the dishwasher drain hose) & clogged drain pump & filter.

Also note that dishwashers do not drain completely after a finished cycle and this is normal. Dishwashers are designed to leave some water in the unit to ensure that the heating element doesn’t overheat. If you suddenly begin to experience a large amount of water being retained in your dishwasher, you have a problem. Some of the most common reasons include that the drain hose isn’t working properly, the drain pump isn’t working correctly, or possibly there is a plumbing problem in your home’s drain lines.



First check whether the drain is not clogged or blocked and the line is not kinked. Check all the hoses for blockages & also clean the air gap. Has the disposer been replaced recently? If so, chances are the knockout is still in place. Simply remove the drain hose from the disposer, and knock out the plug. If the disposer has not been replaced, try removing the drain hose from the disposer and use a wet-dry vacuum (prepared for water, of course) to **** any water (and hopefully anything else) from the drain line. Then reconnect the hose, and test the unit. If you have checked the air gap and the drain hose and can’t locate the problem, then it is an issue with the drain pump of the dishwasher.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

More than likely the filter is clogged,remove the spray arm(there is a threaded cap in the center of the arm twist it to the left,then remove the # 15 or 20 torx(star shaped) screws out of the filter cover(around the edges)The filter is round and runs around the outer edge of the pump housing it lifts right out,clean it and reverse the process.It's the most common issue with not draining on this model.

1.attache the drain hose to the bottom of contertop.
2. drain back valve is not work properly.

If you checked the intake water filter and drain filter and still have this problem -- Try this...

1 - You need to take the diswasher out.
2 - Turn it on its side so you can access the bottom panel.
3 - Unscrew the bottom panel
4 - Take off the electric circulation motor (big electric motor with a bunch of hoses going into it (it is the biggest motor -- not the small motor at the front of the machine (this thing actually screws in place from the back of the machine). To take the motor off - just unscrew the bolt from the back of the machine and wiggle the thing out from the seal.
5 - Unscrew the 4 screws (need a one of those special star screw drivers) that hold the motor to the pump mechanism
6 - Turn the wheel to unseize the motor -(it takes very little pressure to do this) and reinstall it -- it will very likely work again (if it does not - you need to replace this motor)

There is apprently an easier way to do this from inside the machine - but meile technicians have a special tool to go in and turn the motor blade to unseize this. It takes very little pressure and I think it would be a crime to pay someone else to do this -- it is so simple....

So, in summary, first check to make sure there are no blockages in the filters - then try this...

good luck!

take off two black covers on bottom front of machine and mop up or soak up any water you feel or see at very bottom of machine by a polystyrene float this will fix it
