Turn the breaker off for five minutes and the turn back on. Start the dishwasher and see if it will drain. Sometimes power bumps can mess with the control board. Otherwise it could be the control board or the pump.

the first thing that works is the drain pump at beginning of cycle check pump for blockage, if ok check voltage to pump , if you do not understand this answer leave well alone.

Ok, there are a couple of things it could be. The pump motor could be stuck, which is the most likely. Remove the bottom panel and look underneath. Spin the impeller until it spins freely, then try to start the dishwasher. Make sure the door is open before you do this, so that the impeller doesn't run while your hand is in it =)

Also, check the drain hose for a check valve. Sometimes these get stuck in the wrong position and it won't drain well. If none of these work, let me know and I'll help you further.

SOURCE: kenmore dishwasher has stopped draining.

remove the kick panel below the door, place a pan, etc under where the drain hose connects to the drain extension tube, and slide the clamp back some so you can slide the hose off of the extension tube (white plastic tube) and drain any excess fluid into the aforementioned pan, etc., then unscrew the extension tube and check for plugs, or restrictions.
the sump may also be pluged beneath the strainer assembly, and that requires removing the lower spray arm, the water tube that runs up the inside back of the unit, and the upper parts of the assembly below them to access the drain/pump sump area.
last but not least the impeller is jamed and might be able to be freed by removing whatever has lodged within there..
ya never know...
best of luck,
ttfn

Hello! I have an issue with my maytag dishwasher model number MDB6100AWQ. It is running, and it goes to drain, and slowly starts leaking onto my kitchen floor! We took it out about a year ago and...

check the door gasket. check that it is draining. disconnect drain line from under sink ad put into a bucket. most likely it isn't draining ad is overflowing.

All of a sudden, the dishwasher motor is making a loud noise. What might be causing this? Approximately 7-10 years old. Model # 665 15595792.

Hi.

First of all have you noticed whether the noise happens through the wash cycle or when it drains the water?
If its the former then it will be in your wash motor, the later in your drain pump.

Have you noticed whether a drinking glass was cracked or broken when you emptied your dishwasher?? if so it could have found its way into the wash motor or drain pump.

If the noise is high pitched ( like a saw mill) it is most liokely to be a wash motor bearing thats failed. If so you are looking at a new circulation (wash) motor.

Hope this helps

The drain is stopped up. take the top apart. The drain is in the middle at the back. get a hair dyer to throw the ice and you will see the drain. Do not break the from duct throw the ice. the drain is behind it. Air the the best way to unstop it.

GE Triton Dishwasher will not drain they water after it's cycle...thoughts?

Peace,
Cut off the power at the breaker for 5 minutes and then turn it on and see if the system resets!
The machine was in your home 3 years , and used for more than that by someone else! I can tell you by the model that its at least 10 years old!
appliances more than 9 years old cost you money to run and fix! Throw it out and do not put good money into bad!

The new ones no matter how inexpensive will wash better and cost you a hell of a lot less to operate. They are so much more energy efficient today that they pay for them selves in a couple of years! With a new machine watch your water and power bill go down!!!
Other wise you need hands on service!
if you got the money do it new!

Bless You!
