Is your dishwasher not draining properly? If you notice standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher, it means your dishwasher is not pumping water out. Regular maintenance of your dishwasher should prevent this from happening but if this occurs, don’t panic. Read on to find troubleshooting tips when your dishwasher is not pumping water out properly.
Why is my dishwasher not pumping water out?
If your dishwasher is not draining it means that is clogged or something is blocking it.
What can I do to unclog my dishwasher?
You will have to check the filter and pump (located at the bottom of the dishwasher). Follow the instructions below:
1. First, remove the filter. Review your owner's manual to learn how to do this.
2. Remove any debris and objects that are trapped in the filter. Clean it with soap and a soft brush under running water.
3. Before reinstalling the filter, remove the pump cover by following the instructions in your owner's manual. Check the pump and remove any debris and standing water you find with a sponge. Use caution as some debris may be sharp.
4. Reinstall the pump cover and filter.
