Why is my dishwasher not draining?

A common cause for a dishwasher not draining is a faulty drain pump. Other possibilities include a clogged drain hose, a blocked air gap, or issues with the garbage disposal connection if applicable. Inspect these areas for obstructions before replacing the pump.

Can I clean my dishwasher drain pump instead of replacing it?

Sometimes, a drain pump may be clogged with food debris, glass, or other foreign objects. If the impeller is not damaged, clearing the obstruction might resolve the issue. However, if the motor is failing or the impeller is broken, replacement is typically necessary.

How do I know if my drain pump is bad or just clogged?

If you hear a humming noise but no water drains, it could be a clog or a seized motor. If the pump makes no sound or an unusual grinding noise, it's often a sign of a failing motor or a broken impeller, indicating the pump needs replacement. A visual inspection after removal can help confirm.
