Why your KitchenAid dishwasher is not draining
Catching not draining early on a KitchenAid dishwasher is usually straightforward: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. The usual culprit is failed drain pump motor. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
- Control board not signalling the pump
- Failed drain pump motor
- Clogged drain pump or filter
- Debris jamming the impeller
Known KitchenAid dishwasher weak points
- Dishwasher control board and drain-pump failures
- Refrigerator ice maker problems
- Range surface-igniter failures
- Oven control panel faults
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: check whether the unit is sitting level, since a strong tilt alone can stop proper draining. Also, check the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked and clear any visible debris from an accessible filter. If none of that changes anything, 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.
