Dishwasher Problems - Waterwill not drain out

Hi
Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Yes you need a new filter but also when you change the filter make sure to clean out the pump which is accessed when you remove the filter.

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. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller.

Steps:
1)Empty the dishwasher.Remove all dishes including pots,pans and silverware.
2)Pull the bottom rack out as far as possible.The filters are under the basket on the Maytag dishwashers.It may be convenient to lift the rack out.Typically,if you lift,the wheels leave the track.
3)Remove the Coarse" filter.This filter is a small,round knob in the middle of the Fine filter.A round knob is around the Coarse filter.Hold on to the handle and lift straight up.
4)Knock the contents of the Coarse filter into the garbage can.Run the faucet to remove smaller particles.Wipe the dishwasher filter with the sink sponge.Push back into the filter holder when complete.
5)Take out the Fine filter.Turn the round knob that is around the Coarse filter counter-clockwise.Once the knob is loose pull up.The Fine filter will come out of the dishwasher.
6)Rinse the Fine filter with the hot water faucet.Scrub with the sink sponge to remove any stuck-on fragments.Replace the filter into the dishwasher.Push down and turn the knob clockwise to tighten.

It could be your lid switch.

If the door handle is brocken the lid switch is not making contact properly.

Sounds like you have a bad Control Board

But with the price it cost, you might be better off buying a new dishwasher, preferably a different brand, cause that washer has some bad reviews

hi there,
this is the sign of motor is not functioning,no circulation of water,If the dishwasher motor malfunctions, don't try to fix it yourself. Call a professional service person to make repairs or replace the motor. Before you call for service, however, you should check to make sure that the timer is working and that the motor dishwasher is receiving power.
have a nice day,regards

Have you tried pushing heated wash, heated dry, heated wash then heated dry? Sometimes this will reset it.
