Why your Maytag dishwasher is not draining
A Maytag dishwasher that is not draining tends to show the same signs: water pools at the bottom of the tub. Usually drain pump, clog, or check-valve. Nine times out of ten it comes down to clogged drain pump or filter. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
- Failed drain pump motor
- A stuck check valve
- Debris jamming the impeller
- Control board not signalling the pump
Known Maytag dishwasher weak points
- Neptune front-loader mold/odor buildup (historic class-action)
- Bravos top-load bearing and lid-lock faults
- Control board failures
- Dryer heating element and thermal fuse failures
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. When that isn't the fix, 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.
