Dishwasher Not Draining: What Homeowners Should Check

Before scheduling service, homeowners can check the filter basket and confirm the sink disposal plug was removed if a disposal was recently installed. If the appliance hums, leaks, or shows an error code, it is better to stop and request diagnosis.

When to call a technician

• The appliance shows the same error code again after reset.
• You notice burning smell, leaking, unusual noise, or repeated shutdowns.
• The repair involves electrical testing, gas, sealed refrigeration components, or disassembly.
