Re: draining water from a dishwasher in preparation for a...
Best thing is to disconnect all the hoses and ensure that the waste hose is kept high. Put the machine on a couple of chairs and let the machine empty into a bucket thru the hose. Quite a lot of water inside. Tie up the hoses and lead at the top back of the machine. Happy moving.

this will sound silly but the amount of times this has been the cause will justify the question, if the drain hose is conected to a spout off the sink trap, has the plug at the base of the spout been removed to allow water to drain?
Otherwise >
disconect the power then tilt the dishwasher about 45 degrees to the front then back, hold it in each position for about 10 seconds, water will come out so be prepared for that. back to level and try it again,
Hello. Generally, the problem is debris in the drain pump or in the drain line which goes from the base of the machine up into the drain under the kitchen sink. Begin by removing the lower panel on the front of the dishwasher and disassembling the drain line there. Be prepared for about 3 cups of water. Then REmove the pump and visually examine it on the inside. If you don't find the debris there check the entire drain tube, and the connection area under the sink. J.
Hi Thanks
for using FixYa. Dishwasher not draining properly or not draining at all issues
can arise due to different reasons. Usually, these issues are related to
kinked hoses, knocked out disposer unit (if connected with the dishwasher drain
hose) & clogged drain pump & filter. Also note that dishwashers do not
drain completely after a finished cycle and this is normal. Dishwashers are
designed to leave some water in the unit to ensure that the heating element
doesn’t overheat. If you suddenly begin to experience a large amount of water
being retained in your dishwasher, you have a problem. Some of the most common
reasons include that the drain hose isn’t working properly, the drain pump
isn’t working correctly, or possibly there is a plumbing problem in your home’s
drain lines.
First
check whether the drain is not clogged or blocked and the line is not kinked.
Check all the hoses for blockages & also clean the air gap. Has the
disposer been replaced recently? If so, chances are the knockout is still in place.
Simply remove the drain hose from the disposer, and knock out the plug. If the
disposer has not been replaced, try removing the drain hose from the disposer
and use a wet-dry vacuum (prepared for water, of course) to **** any water (and
hopefully anything else) from the drain line. Then reconnect the hose, and test
the unit. If you have checked the air gap and the drain hose and can’t locate
the problem, then it is an issue with the drain pump of the dishwasher. Please do
accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further
assistance. Thanks Rylee
