If your dishwasher is not draining properly, it can be a frustrating and messy problem. However, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue before calling a professional drain cleaning service like SOS Drain & Sewer Service.

Check for Blockages

Step 1: Inspect the Drain Hose

Check the drain hose for any kinks, twists, or clogs. Ensure that the hose is properly connected to both the dishwasher and the sink drain.

Step 2: Clean the Filter

Remove the bottom rack of the dishwasher and locate the filter. Remove the filter and clean it thoroughly to remove any debris or food particles that may be blocking the drain.

Step 3: Check the Drain Valve

Inspect the drain valve, located near the pump, for any obstructions. Remove any debris that may be blocking the valve.

Test the Drain Cycle

Step 1: Run a Test Cycle

Run a short wash cycle to see if the dishwasher drains properly. If it does not, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Check the Garbage Disposal

If your dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposal, ensure that the disposal is not clogged. Run the disposal to clear any obstructions.
