Dishwasher Not Draining?

A dishwasher that won't drain is one of the most common service calls. Before calling for repair, try these steps:

Check the garbage disposal—run it to clear any blockage at the drain connection
Inspect the air gap (if installed) for clogs
Remove the bottom rack and clean the drain area of debris
Check the drain hose for kinks

If these steps don't resolve the issue, the drain pump or control board may need professional attention.
