Dishwasher not Draining - Easy Fix!

[@CassD33]

I can't see how to remove the wash arm because your tip text covers up that part of the video. This is my kind of video though. Quick and to-the-point.. But FYI, I couldn't see the video during that section

[@dianabinkowski3927]

I am75 and arthritic. I had no idea I could maybe fix my dishwasher myself. I had a technician come, paid $160 and he barely looked at it. He never checked the hose under the sink (no garbage disposal). He kept going to his phone (I think he was checking KZbin what to do). Waste of money. Tomorrow I will try to check everything myself.they

I have watched several videos to figure out the problem. Lo and behold I had indeed put in a new disposal and left the plug in. Now to try and get it out...thank you!

[@coreyhood2861]

This comment alone fixed my problem. So random. A little research pays off. Thanks to all!

[@summerbauer8547]

Ours isnt draining and it runs out onto the floor. Is this still the same advice? Will definitely try these suggestions. Thankyou.

[@Paul-GrnHil]

My problem was the opposite. For years my dishes didn’t clean well. I finally discovered that the plumber connected the drain hose to a drain pipe below the unit instead of up to the disposal under the sink. The dishwasher never held much water as gravity would drain the unit before the pump cycle ever started.

The morning after...Thanksgiving! I cleaned the filter and everything around it and that seems to be the issue (fingers crossed- dishwasher is working) Thank you!!

[@jtrobbie]

New disposal was installed by someone else and they never pulled the plug out. Easiet way to remove it without pull out the whole disposal is to take a screwdriver and tap it through with a hammer and pull the plug from the disposal side of the sink. (Cut breaker to make sure disposal doesn’t kick on while your hand is in there. Hope this helps.

[@UmbrellaWatch]

Perfect.. I never took out the disposal plug tada!!!

[@robertmoneypenny6028]

I used a shop vac to clean out the hose which worked well. Thanks for the tip.

[@ceebee3581]

Blockage in the drain hose. Thanks for the excellent advice!

YOUR VIDEO SAVED THE DAY!! Thank you so so much

[@charbelmalacon592]

Thanks after watching your video I was able to fix our dishwasher wife very happy!

What dishwasher component could lead the drain pump to only not work at the end of the cycle when the water is hot, but the pump works just fine after an hour or so when the water cools? The problem isn't the usual suspects -- the pump is fine, there are no clogs or air blockages, and when it's hot there is a slight hum sound but it doesn't seem to be coming from the pump. Any thoughts?

[@NobodyUR]

How’s your water pressure? It seems to abort the wash cycle but not fully drain prior to it. Restarting it will complete drain an wash normal if the water pressure issue is corrected.

[@tinetannies4637]

@@NobodyUR thanks for the suggestion. Water pressure is good and consistent. The issue seems to be related to temperature. When the water cools, the pump will empty. It's odd.

@@tinetannies4637 im having the same issue

[@simcowgames981]

Did you ever solve? I'm having the same issue, but we're still at the diagnosing stage. Water will drain if I start a new cycle, but there is always water standing.

[@tinetannies4637]

@@simcowgames981 No, I never got a correct diagnosis and just wait for the water to cool and then hit the drain cycle. All the explanations people suggested didn't fit the problem. It's not the pump because the pump works fine throughout the cycle. There are no clogs. The issue is mysteriously and entirely temperature dependent, which is why it will fully drain when cool without issue but won't when hot. So I'm just living with it as for some reason it only conks out at the end of the wash cycle and not *during* the wash cycle. Which makes the problem even odder.

[@foreignfilmfan]

And what does the pump sound like? My dishwasher is a little too quiet.

[@maryannosterberg5016]

Thank you for the advice when you have a new disposal and need to break the drain plug!!!!!

[@wildatheart3182]

What bothers me is there’s no instruction to remove a drain plug that’s unnecessary in my case. But I had to retrieve the broken disposal to remove the power cord just to reinstall it on new disposal. Crazy.

[@travisdeese1731]

MY MAN!! It was the new disposal. I forgot to knock out the drain plug. THANK YOU!

[@BoulevardHome]

Glad we could help!

[@ReesRetuta]

Thank u about the punch in new disposal

[@LexLuthor1234]

Thank you :)

[@becca10808]

Thank you so much for this! I watched a couple other videos that didn’t mention the height of the drainage and that was my issue. Just repositioned it and it worked!

[@BoulevardHome]

So glad that our video helped!

[@caroldickson9847]

I found a orange ball it was in the draining part of the dishwasher and I don't know where it goes

[@illumss]

Thanks. This fixed my dishwasher drainage issues

[@joankorza873]

What do you do when machine won’t fill?

[@vishwasn5424]

Nice explaination. Thank you.

[@faustinodeparra864]

I have a question and hope you can guide to troubleshoot...i have a new dishwasher, samsung, about a year old. Mother , without knowing, put dishwashing soap and obvisouly bubble overflow...cleaned it up, but, dishwasher now has the NORMAL light flashing and pump runs none stop. I turn off, it turns back on by itself and continues.. what could it be??

[@BoulevardHome]

One thing you can try is to unplug the dishwasher for a few minutes, then plug it back in to see if that resets the system. If that doesn't work, you could try checking the pump for clogs and clear them if necessary. If the issue is with the control board, it's best to call in a professional repair service.

[@wytc114]

same issue, have u sort it out?
