Thermador Dishwasher Not Draining in St. Johns, FL

Why your Thermador dishwasher is not draining
Catching not draining early on a Thermador dishwasher is usually straightforward: 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
- Clogged drain pump or filter
- Failed drain pump motor
- A stuck check valve
- Control board not signalling the pump
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
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
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. 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.
