Maytag dwc7400abw My dishwasher does not drain. I think I have removed as much as I can from inside the washer. It is a freestanding washer. The water does drain but it takes about three seperate times of running the washer during the drain cycle to completey drain.

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

This dishwasher has a circular filter path under the bottom plate - 6 screws - that can become filled inside with debris - you can remove it and wash it out with a garden hose.. Paul

hello mam please check the drain line if the line is having cracks please change the drain line and if the water is leaking from the bottom of the washer then change the 'o'ring which will be inside the dishwasher to fix this ring you should remove the drain line.

HI, usually, if the dishwasher dose not drain properly, it will be the fault of a defective or, malfunctioning pump. i will list several problem areas to check. Inspect each area properly and, replace any component that is faulty or fouled.


1. Air gap / Drain hoses
If there is an air gap (located in the sink, near the faucet), check to see if it is clogged. Unscrew the top cap and see if there is anything blocking inside. Note: If there is no air gap installed, the dishwasher might not drain properly.

If the drain hose is clogged, the dishwasher would not drain. If there is an air gap installed, it is very common that a hose going from the air gap into the garbage disposer is clogged. Remove and clean the hose. Make sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher.

Note: If you recently had a garbage disposer installed, it is common to overlook removing the drain plug.

2. Broken belt
Some dishwasher models use a belt to drive the pump. Replace the belt if found broken.

Note: Sometimes the belt would just come off the pump. Even though it might not be broken, it is recommended that you replace the belt, because it is probably too stretched out.

3. Pump
Some models have two impellers inside the pump - one, wash impeller, takes care of the wash cycles, the other, drain impeller, drains the water out. If the drain impeller is broken (broken blades, shaft), the dishwasher would not drain. Replace any broken pump components.

4. Drain solenoid
Some models (for example most GE dishwashers) use a drain solenoid to drain water out. Sometimes the solenoid gets stuck, preventing the water from draining out. Try to free up the solenoid. If unsuccessful, you might have to replace the pump assembly.

5. Motor
If the motor is stuck, it is sometimes possible to free it up by manually spinning the motor.

Replace the motor if defective.

6. Timer
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).

In most cases the blockage is at the end of the drainhose, where it connects th the "peatrap", simply removing the hose clamp, then hose and inspecting. If no blockage found there you will need assistance. If you want, you can funnel your hand over the end of the hose, blowing down hard through this funnel can sometimes dislodge blockage. ALWAYS rinse dishes before loading any dishwasher.

There are many things could make a dishwasher not drain, here's a list of the most common reasons.

• a clog or air gap in the drain line, often the problem is where the drain line attaches to the household drain line, if you remove this line you can clear any debris from the hose or hose connection.
• a defective pump, your dishwasher pump ejects the water.
• many dishwashers use a drain valve or solenoid, the solenoid can sometimes become stuck or defective solenoid.
• a defective motor, if the motor is'nt turinig or working the dishwasher won't drain.

on all dishwasher think of them as a simple gutter system. the water only has one drain. At the bottom, if the pump can't pump out the water, its simply a bad pump or a clogged drain hose. Food particle can clog the "drain screen", use a good quality shop vac, clean 'drain screen', remove drain hose and clean thoroughly. If the hose goes into your drain pipe, remove that and clean that really good with snake it its metal or a strong 1/2 zip tie if its plastic.

Yes, you'll need to replace the motor. Though you may not need to remove the machine from under the counter.
