- thank you. my filter was clogged....had broken a wine glass, and couldnt find the rest of the glass. the rest was in the filter. will wash by hand from now on! thank u!
Hi, Tools you might need are, 1/4" & 5/16" nut driver/socket, phillips screw driver & pliers.
I would remove the drain hose from the sink and put the end into a bucket. Start the d/w into spin and see if water releases.
If it does, clesn out the sink port the hose connects to.
If the d/w does not drain, remove the lower front panel and locate the drain solenoid. With the d/w running, turn the timer/selector knob and see if the solenoid engages at the end of each cycle. If it does engage, the drain hose or the sump inside the d/w must be plugged.
If it does not engage, you will need to put a voltage meter in the wire connection on the solenoid and repeat the proccess with the turning the timer and see if the solenoid is getting 120V at any time.
If this is draining into a garbage disposal and you have replaces the disposal, make sure the plug inside where the drain hose hooks up has been removed. I see this quite often.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
