If your dishwasher isn’t draining properly, here are some common causes and steps you can take:
- Check the Drain Filter:
Food particles and debris can clog the drain filter, preventing water from draining. Remove the filter (usually found at the bottom of the dishwasher) and clean it thoroughly under running water. - Inspect the Drain Hose:
The drain hose can become kinked, bent, or clogged. Check the hose for any blockages or sharp bends and straighten it out if needed. Make sure the hose is clear and water can flow freely.
If you’ve cleaned the filter and checked the hose but your dishwasher still won’t drain, it’s best to contact a professional for service.
