Commercial Dishwasher Not Draining in St. Augustine, FL

Why your commercial dishwasher is not draining
A commercial dishwasher that is not draining tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. More often than not it traces back to clogged drain pump or filter. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- Control board not signalling the pump
- Debris jamming the impeller
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked and clear any visible debris from an accessible filter. Should that not clear it, 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.
