Appears to run OK but water doesn't drain. Suggestions?
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.

Check drainage grill is not blocked. Check drainage pump is pumping. Check drainage tube not blocked.

SOURCE: Excess water left in the dishwasher
The drain hose connects to the pump and runs to the sink drain (or to the air gap on top of the sink). The pump has a second hose that recirculates the water back into the dishwasher. The drain hose is roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. While inspecting the drain hose, check the recirculation hose as well.
If checking for leaks, feel the hoses where they connect to the pump, for wetness and check the ground right under the connections. If they are wet, it may be a loose or improperly mounted clamp, a damaged pump housing or a leak in the hose itself.
If checking for blockages, disconnect the drain hose from the pump, pinch the wire clamp with pliers and slide it up the hose. Place a shallow pan beneath the pump to catch any spillage. Remove the hose from the pump; wiggling the hose may help to loosen it.
Check the hose and nipple to the pump for any debris. The only way to be certain the drain hose is completely clear is to disconnect it from the sink and run water through (such as spraying a garden hose through it at full pressure). Disconnect the recirculation hose and check it in the same way.

SOURCE: dishwasher won't drain properly
there are several possible causes for your trouble. begin by disconnecting the drain hose at both ends and checking to be sure it is not partially blocked. Then check the pump to be sure there is no chunk of glass or other debris partially blocking it.

either
leaking valve - to check, turn water off and see if it still happens
or
if appliance is plumbed in to a spigot on the sink trap, then when you empty sink, some of the water finds its way into the dishwasher via the drain hose. to cure, take the drain hose as high as possible under the sink in a swan neck

SOURCE: water in bottom of dishwasher, can't get it to drain
pull your water drain line out and place in a bucket on the floor. then try to drain it again. alot of time the hose get an air gap or blocked with gunk.

sounds to me that you may have some suds residue in the dishwasher that keeps it from draining completely. Get you some dishwasher cleaner which you can purchase at wal-mart or wherever you buy your detergent, and clean out your dishwasher. It is a inexpensive test. Alot less expensive than having a tech come to your house. Make sure that your drain hose is mounted higher that where it goes into the drain. This is also a common problem that I encounter in the field. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you futher.

Hi
Intake/Drain light flashing means an issue while
draining. You would need to check for air gap on the dishwasher, it may be
clogged. It prevents dishwasher from draining, sometimes the drain flow is
restricted due to gunk. Cleaning or bypassing the air gap will resolve the
issue. If this doesn't resolve the issue then it is due to seized (or stuck)
drain pump. Disconnect the power to the dishwasher or turn off the breaker to
the dishwasher. Tip machine on its back; remove screws that hold the bottom tray
on. Remove the hoses to the main motor, remove electrical connections &
remove motor (single screw holds motor, it is on the outside back of the
machine). Try to rotate the motor (use WD40 is necessary). If you cannot rotate
it, then motor will be required. If the error still appears then cancel the
error message, turn the rotary selector switch to "Stop/End" or press
the "Start/Stop" switch for approx. 5 secs. Switch the appliance off
and then back on again. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more
information.

Hi
This 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.

Dishwasher does not drain during cycle. It can't be the pump because if I reset it the water drains.
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
the water sits in the bottom of the dishwasher and in the drain in the sink. when the water fills up in dishwasher it spills over onto the floor. its a kenmore ultra wash III
It runs through the cycle without a problem, it just doesn't drain
when it is finished.
Any thoughts thanks.
hi my dish washer also will not drain. i have taking off all the hoses and found nothing. where is the auxiliary pump?
dishwasher does not drain
dishwasher does not drain filter clean hoses clear
Dirty water in the bottom of dishwasher will not go away. Dishwasher runs fine.
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?
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.

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?
