Samsung Dishwasher Not Draining in St. Johns, FL

Why your Samsung dishwasher is not draining
On a Samsung dishwasher, not draining usually announces itself like this: 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
- Debris jamming the impeller
- Failed drain pump motor
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
- Control board not signalling the pump
- A stuck check valve
Known Samsung dishwasher weak points
- French-door ice maker freezing and failure (subject of class-action)
- Water fill tube freezing above the ice mold
- Control board and dispenser faults
- Top-load washer vibration/spin problems (past recall history)
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: 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, 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.
