Dishwasher Not DrainingYou open the dishwasher after the cycle and find standing water covering the bottom of the tub. Before you call anyone, the good news is that most dishwasher draining problems are caused by something simple you can fix yourself in under 15 minutes. This guide covers the most common reasons a dishwasher won't drain, the safe checks homeowners can do right now, and the signs that it's time to call a professional appliance technician. If you'd rather skip the troubleshooting, our dishwasher repair service is available for fast, same-day diagnosis.
One thing to skip: do not pour Drano or any chemical drain cleaner into the dishwasher. It will damage the rubber seals and hoses and make the problem worse.
