Dishwasher does not drain the water what is the problem?

Answer 1

I would suspect the float valve assembly is defective. Replace this assembly with a modern assembly. Can be purchased at any hardware store.

It also could be your flush gate not closing all the way either a plastic cone or a rubber flapper, sometimes the level gets stuck up or the chain gets caught and if its a bad flapper you can purchase it at any hardware store too.

Answer 2

Check these things:

-Make sure you have water coming into the dishwasher

-Check the float to make sure it isn't stuck

Unplug the dishwasher for a while and plug it back in and see if it works.

If that doesn't work it might be a timer problem. Check these things:

Answer 3

It probably has a sensor on it like mine, to "save water" thanks to Algore. The only way around it is to wait till it stops running water, lift the lid (it thinks you added more clothes) close the lid then more water will come in. You must do it several times for more water. I hate mine for this reason, who has time for it!

Answer 4

The drain is clogged. Check the strainer at the bottom of your unit. Always rinse your dishes of food before putting them in the washer.

Answer 5

No, the water fills to about 3-4 inches then is squirted through the top and bottom sprayers.
