Dishwashers always tend to break at the most inopportune moments. They also tend to be tricky to fix. Here are a few things to try out first before calling your plumber.

Make sure the dishwasher is broken down. See where the dishwasher was at during the cycle. Was it stopped mid-cycle or was it completed and the water is just not draining properly? If it was stopped mid-cycle that would explain the lack of drainage.

If there is no chance of re-starting the dishwasher look for causes that could have made it break down mid-cycle. For example, there may be a power interruption or broken circuit. Make sure that the electricity is working in the room.

Check to make sure that the dishwasher opens and closes correctly. If the door gets pushed open it will stop the dishwasher from completing its cycle. If you find the problem was the circuit breaker then you should can cancel the cycle, then run out your dishwasher.

If the cycle did complete but there is still water that has not drained it could be a problem with the drain. It is important to keep the drain clear if you want your dishwasher to work correctly. When you load your dishes make sure they do not have large chunks of food left on them as this can quickly cause problems with your drain.

Dishwasher hoses can get clogged. Find your dishwasher’s owner’s manual and find where the hoses are. It will be able to tell you how to unhook hoses and where to locate them.

A good place to look at is under your kitchen sink. Be sure to use a bowl to catch excess water, and towels. Also remember to show proper safety precautions whenever working on any plumbing in your home.
