Westinghouse not draining - Westinghouse Dishwashers

Please check it "SOLVED: Why won't my washer spin or drain?"

The drain is evidently blocked. Pour some bleach in the drain to clear the obstruction.

You have either a clogged drain trap or a bad drain trough heater.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

OE is a drain error and is displayed when the washer is unable to drain water. Please check the drain hose and drain pump filter for any clogs to clean the error. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

1. Is your drain point higher than the bottom of the dishwasher? (ie, does it drain into the garbage disposer or does the drain line drop down below the floor into house plumbing?) Did you just install the unit? You may have to install an "air gap" to prevent syphoning.

2. Did the dishwasher work then suddenly stop working? (asking for clarification)

The drain hose has to have a loop in it. In other words as the drain hose exits the dishwasher, it must go up at least 18 inches before it goes down into the drain. If not, the water will siphon out of the machine.

ckd for something stuck in pump newer models have a low torque electric pump easily stalled by lint or even tooth pick
