If your dishwasher won’t drain, you’re likely left with standing water at the bottom and dishes that aren’t getting clean. This is a common issue that usually points to a blockage or a failing component.
Common reasons…
- A clogged drain filter or food debris buildup
- A blocked or kinked drain hose
- A faulty drain pump
- Garbage disposal connection issues
- Air gap or plumbing blockages
Over time, grease, food particles, and debris can build up and prevent proper drainage.
Step to take…
- Check and clean the dishwasher filter
- Inspect the drain hose for kinks or clogs
- Run the garbage disposal (if connected)
- Look for standing debris inside the unit
If water continues to sit at the bottom after a cycle, the issue likely requires professional repair to prevent further damage.
