Why your dishwasher is not draining

A 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. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed drain pump motor. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.

Most likely causes

  • A stuck check valve
  • Kinked or blocked drain hose
  • Failed drain pump motor
  • Clogged drain pump or filter

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked and clear any visible debris from an accessible filter. Also, check whether the unit is sitting level, since a strong tilt alone can stop proper draining. Once you've ruled that out, a failed pump has to be pulled from inside the base, and reassembling it wrong risks a leak that's worse than the original problem.

How we fix it

We trace the not draining on your dishwasher to its source instead of throwing parts at it. We carry common dishwasher parts for every major brand, so most repairs are done in one visit. The quote is flat, approved before we start, and every repair carries our warranty.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the dishwasher the same day. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the dishwasher has worked perfectly since.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the dishwasher. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.

Called about our dishwasher in the morning and it was running again by evening. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.
