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.
