From a clogged filter to a failed pump, we’ll diagnose the problem quickly and have your dishwasher up and running again so you can get back to your routine with confidence!
A clogged filter is one of the most common reasons a dishwasher won’t drain. Food particles, grease, and other material may build up in the filter over time and ultimately prevent water from draining out at the end of the cycle. A clogged filter not only affects drainage but can also leave your dishes dirty and create unpleasant odours. Regular cleaning of the filter can keep this issue from arising, but if water is already pooling at the bottom of your dishwasher, it may be time to get a closer look.
A clogged or kinked drain hose can cause your dishwasher to drain improperly by restricting water from exiting the appliance. Over time, food particles, grease, or soap residue can build up inside the hose, blocking it. Alternatively, the hose could be bent or kinked at the back of the dishwasher, especially if the appliance has been moved recently. Both conditions may cause water to back up into your dishwasher and provide standing water on the bottom.
A faulty drain pump is usually a main reason your dishwasher is not draining. The drain pump forces wastewater from the appliance into your home’s drainage system. If the pump motor is defective, becomes clogged with trash, or there are electrical issues, it won’t be able to pump water and will allow it to remain in the bottom of the tub. Sometimes, you can hear unusual grinding or humming noises if the pump fails to function normally.
Float switch issues can also prevent your dishwasher from draining. The float switch monitors the amount of water inside the appliance and triggers to halt or start draining. If the float is clogged with dirt, mineral build-ups, or mechanical malfunction, it may trigger the wrong message that your dishwasher has the correct level of water – although it doesn’t. This will prevent the drain cycle from operating, and water to sit at the bottom of the tub.
