Common Symptoms
- Incomplete or slow draining
- Drain-related error indication
- Pump humming without moving water
- Unusual noise during the drain phase
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
- Inspect and rinse the dishwasher filter for debris that could restrict drainage.
- Check the drain hose for kinks, blockage, or improper routing.
- If equipped, inspect the air gap or disposer connection for blockage.
- Observe whether the pump operates during a drain phase; do not assume the pump is defective until external restrictions are excluded.
Pro Tip
Check the filter and drain path before replacing the pump; a blockage or restricted hose can produce the same no-drain symptom and may cause a replacement pump to work against excessive back-pressure.
