Dishwasher not draining

1. The dishwasher does not have drain only function. However, the unit will drain on its own for the first 45 seconds of a new cycle. To drain standing water, select a wash cycle and let it run for 45 seconds. Then turn the unit off and let it reset. Repeat as necessary.

2. This is caused by sides of the tub and the door being in contact with cooler air on the outside of the unit. The unit's condensing drying process relies on heat to help evaporate the water in the tub; these parts have water on them as a result of cooler temperatures.

3. Food residue or particles can prevent proper draining of the unit. Remove the bottom rack and check the bottom of the unit for food or debris. Remove any items or food that may be preventing proper drainage.

4. Check the drain hose. Ensure that there are no bends or kinks. If there are, the unit will not drain efficiently. Not only will water not be able to drain, food particles can get caught and buildups, further preventing the drain function. Straighten kinks or bends in the drain hose. The drain hose should not exceed 10 feet. If an extension was added to the drain hose to accommodate the installation location of dishwasher, it will not drain properly.
