Dishwasher drains too slowly; water remains between cycles; may show a partial drain or slow drain error.

Safety First: Turn off power before accessing hoses.

Check sink and disposal:

• Run the garbage disposal to clear any blockage in the sink drain.
• Ensure the sink itself drains quickly; a slow sink drain will slow the dishwasher drain.

Inspect drain hose:

• Look under the sink for kinks or sharp bends in the dishwasher drain hose.
• Disconnect the hose from the disposal or drain and flush it with water to clear any buildup.

Test drain pump:

• If the hose and sink are clear but draining is still slow, the drain pump may be weak and should be replaced.
