Why your dishwasher is not draining
Here's how not draining typically presents on a dishwasher: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. The usual culprit is a stuck check valve. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- Debris jamming the impeller
- Clogged drain pump or filter
- Failed drain pump motor
- Control board not signalling the pump
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. Also, check whether the unit is sitting level, since a strong tilt alone can stop proper draining. 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.

Our technician runs a full diagnostic on your dishwasher and isolates the exact cause before quoting. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a dishwasher and fit them on the spot. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.
