A dishwasher that won't drain is a common household problem. Here's what to check:
1. Clogged Filter Food particles often block the filter at the bottom. Remove and rinse it under warm water.
2. Drain Hose Issues Make sure the hose isn't kinked or clogged. Check for blockages near the sink connection.
3. Air Gap or High Loop California plumbing code requires a dishwasher air gap or high loop. If it's clogged, water can back up.
4. Broken Drain Pump If you hear the motor but no water drains, the pump may have failed.
