Possible Causes

Clogged filter or sump, Partially blocked drain hose, Weak drain pump, Incorrect drain hose installation height

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working under the dishwasher or removing hoses.

  • Clean filters and sump: Remove and clean all filters. Inspect the sump for debris blocking the drain inlet.
  • Check drain hose: Ensure the hose has a proper high loop and is not kinked. Disconnect from the sink and flush with hot water.
  • Verify installation height: The end of the drain hose should be at the correct height specified in the manual; too low can cause siphoning issues.
  • Test drain pump: Run a drain-only cycle and listen. If the pump sounds weak or intermittent, it may need replacement.

A small amount of clean water in the sump is normal, but standing dirty water indicates a drain problem.
