-   Dishwasher runs cycle, but there is a pool of water that the bottom. When I hit start and cancel, it drains. Wondering why it doesn't drain during regular cycle since the hoses etc obviously work since it does drain when I start/cancel?-   nitinman123

-   brand new whirlpool dishwasher, doesn't drain, leaks from bottom of front door when bottom fills up with water.

Do I need a Air gap Installed?

The drain runs into a new Garbage disposal.

-   I often have simiar problems. Sometimes, I find water on ceiling tiles downstairs under the dishwasher. I look inside the dishwasher and it has water standing in the bottom. Never spills out onto the floor so far, but how is it getting downstairs? Reply?-   Guest

how do you check to see if the pump is pumping? The drain is not clogged or blocked and the line is not kinked. The garbage disposal is not clogged either.

It runs through the cycle without a problem, it just doesn't drain
when it is finished.
Any thoughts thanks.

washer wont pump out-thre is a clicking sound from the pump housing when the pump runs. On dismantling the pump back plate the green impeller was detached from the driven shaft-on reassembly the pump worked and then the same sound resumed and the pumping stopped.The question is ---should the impeller be attached to the shaftrather than float freely on the lug on the end of the driven shaft

Dishwasher does not drain during cycle. It can't be the pump because if I reset it the water drains.
