If you hear the pump try to engage,then you may have something stuck in the impellar wheel of the drain pump. if you have a wet dry shop vac remove the hose from the bottom of the sink or garbage disposal and attach the shop vac to this hose and drian the machine.
Then you will need to check the drain pump,the is also a chance that the main control board or timer unit is bad and needs to be replaced.just make sure first that there is nothing stuck in the drain pump

Dishwasher ADPU 701 WH showes error code F6 E1. Stopped mid cycle. How can I drain the machine ?

Error code F6 E1 on a Dishwasher ADPU 701 WH typically indicates a problem with the water pump or drain system. It is possible that the dishwasher stopped mid-cycle because the pump is clogged or the drain is blocked.

To drain the machine, you can try the following steps:

Unplug the dishwasher: To ensure your safety, unplug the dishwasher from the power outlet before attempting any repairs.

Locate the drain hose: The drain hose is typically located at the back of the dishwasher, near the bottom.

Detach the drain hose: Use a pair of pliers to gently loosen the clamp that secures the drain hose to the dishwasher. Then, carefully remove the hose from the dishwasher.

Place the drain hose in a bucket or sink: Position the end of the drain hose in a bucket or sink to allow the water to drain out.

Check for blockages: Inspect the drain hose for any blockages or debris that may be causing the error code. Use a small brush or toothpick to remove any blockages.

Reattach the drain hose: Once you have cleared any blockages, reattach the drain hose to the dishwasher and secure it with the clamp.

Plug in the dishwasher: Once the drain hose is securely in place, you can plug the dishwasher back in and try running a cycle to see if the error code persists.

When I start my dishwasher it start to run then it stop and flashes se code what causes that

If your dishwasher is displaying error code 5E, It can be caused by a kinked drain hose.
If the drain hose is kinked, there will be an excessive amount of water in the bottom of your dishwasher after a cycle has been completed.
In order to access the drain hose you need access to the back of the dishwasher. If your dishwasher was recently installed, contact the installer to move the dishwasher and inspect the drain hose.
If the drain hose is not kinked, but your dishwasher is still not draining, service is required.

Dishwasher is not draining

Hi


Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump.


Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn

Dishwasher not draining

Hi,

Thanks for writing to Fixya.com.

To fix a dishwasher that will not drain, remove any clogs that are blocking the drain line by pouring a paste of baking soda, vinegar and water down the drain, and then pouring boiling water to clear the clog. Repeat the process several times to remove a severely clogged dishwasher drain. Thanks for contacting Fixya and please accept the solution if it has helped you.

MY SON'S DISHWASHER WON't drain

Hello there:
Please try these things below my post and click on the links that are available for you ok
I hope that tthis is very helpful for you
best regards michael
Water will not drain from my dishwasher. Investigate these six areas if water will not drain from your dishwasher :
dishwasher_drain-hose.jpg Drain Hose

It is quite common for a dishwasher to not drain because either the drain hose or the air gap (if the unit has one) is clogged up. Drain hose clogs commonly occur where the hose is attached to the main household drain line, or where the hose connects with the garbage disposer. Try removing the drain hose to unclog any debris. Don't forget to reattach the hose before you start your dishwasher again.
dishwasher_pump-repair-kit.jpg Pump Assembly

The pump assembly is comprised of a pump, wash impeller, and drain impeller. The pump ejects the water from the unit, the wash impeller pushes water through the spray arm, and the drain impeller directs the water towards the drain port. Examine your dishwasher's pump assembly. Clean out any debris that may be blocking it. Replace the pump assembly if any of its parts appear to be worn or defective.
dishwasher_belt.jpg Belt

It isn't very common, but sometimes a dishwasher's pump assembly is driven by a belt. If that belt becomes worn and defective, then it cannot properly run the pump that drains your dishwasher's tub. If your dishwasher uses a drive belt, examine it now. If it shows signs of wear, replace it.
dishwasher_timer.jpg Timer

A defective timer could interfere with a dishwasher's ability to drain properly. Test your dishwasher's timer mechanism. If it is faulty, replace it. Keep in mind that you can replace either the entire timer assembly or just the timer's motor.
dishwasher_motor.jpg Motor

The motor plays a key role in a dishwasher's ability to drain water. If your dishwasher's motor is not functioning properly, it will negatively affect the draining capability of your machine. Test your dishwasher's motor for continuity. If it fails the test, replace the motor.
dishwasher_drain-solenoid.jpg Drain Valve and/or Solenoid

In some models, a valve has to open in order for the water to drain out of the dishwasher. This valve is controlled by a solenoid, but it is the timer that decides when the valve should open. If your timer is working fine, check the drain valve and its solenoid. If need be, replace them.
