Dishwasher not draining? Here’s how to clear it up
A dishwasher that won’t drain is one of the most common and annoying problems you can face.
How to fix a dishwasher That’s not draining
1. Clean the drain filter
Food particles and grease can clog the filter. Clean it thoroughly to restore drainage.
2. Check the garbage disposal
If your dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposal, a blockage there might be causing the issue. Clean it out to restore flow.
3. Inspect the drain hose
A kinked or blocked hose can prevent water from draining. Check it for blockages or kinks.
4. Examine the air gap
Some dishwashers have an air gap that can get clogged. Clean it out to fix drainage issues.
5. Test the drain pump
If nothing else works, the drain pump could be faulty. This may require professional repair or replacement.
