Why your CMA Dishmachines commercial dishwasher is not draining
On a CMA Dishmachines commercial dishwasher, not draining usually announces itself like this: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. More often than not it traces back to debris jamming the impeller. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- Clogged drain pump or filter
- Failed drain pump motor
- A stuck check valve
- Debris jamming the impeller
Known CMA Dishmachines commercial dishwasher weak points
- chemical sanitizer not dispensing or delivery-failure alarms
- wash and rinse arm clogging
- wash pump seal leaks
- drain and fill valve faults
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: check whether the unit is sitting level, since a strong tilt alone can stop proper draining. If none of that changes anything, if it still won't drain, the pump or an internal valve has likely failed, and opening the unit yourself can void the manufacturer's warranty.
