Dishwasher does not drain; water remains in the bottom of the tub at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Disconnect power before working near water or electrical components.

• Remove standing water: Use a cup or wet/dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible from the tub.
• Clean filters: Remove the lower rack and filters. Rinse thoroughly and clear any debris from the sump area.
• Inspect drain hose: Check under the sink where the hose connects to the disposal or drain. Ensure the hose is not kinked and that the connection is clear. If a new disposal was installed, verify the dishwasher knockout plug was removed.
• Test drain pump: Access the pump from the bottom. Check for obstructions in the impeller and test for continuity. Replace the pump if it is open or seized.
• Run a drain test: Reassemble, restore power, and run a cancel/drain cycle to confirm proper drainage.
