Why your Thermador dishwasher is not draining
When a Thermador dishwasher is not draining, here's what you'll usually notice: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. On this platform it's most often clogged drain pump or filter. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A stuck check valve
- Debris jamming the impeller
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
- Clogged drain pump or filter
Known Thermador dishwasher weak points
- Freedom Induction coil-driver board faults (zones drop out)
- Column refrigerator door alarm / reed-switch failure
- Steam oven scaling from hard water
- Star Burner igniter and control faults
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: check the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked and clear any visible debris from an accessible filter. If it's still acting up after that, 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.
