You can clean the drain hose yourself with vinegar essence. To do this, add two tablespoons of this liquid to the drain hose. If possible, distribute it evenly. Then run the normal program (65 degrees). A pre-rinse cycle is not required, turn it off if possible.
To clean the drain line, which is near the back of the dishwasher right under the filter screen, mix together 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of water to make a solution. Pour solution into the drain line through the filter grid. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into the drain tube and let the solution set for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour hot water down the drainpipe to rinse out the baking soda solution.
Primary filter clogged
The primary filter is the filter through which all debris passes, which is then crushed and distributed to the next compartments of the dishwasher. The most vulnerable part of the dishwasher to clogging.
Primary filter clogging
To prevent current and future clogging of the primary filter with water in the dishwasher pan:
- Practice regular cleaning of the filter, sprayer and drain to make sure your dishwasher is effectively removing food debris.
- Make sure plates do not touch and have enough space between them.
- Do not overload the dishwasher. It is much more advantageous to run another cycle than to wash all the dishes again.
- Pour a glass of lemon juice into the dishwasher container and place it in the dishwasher. The acidity of the lemon juice will help keep it smelling fresh.
- Do an occasional hot wash in an empty dishwasher to remove food debris from nooks and crannies.
Drain hose is pinched or clogged
If this problem occurs, take the following steps:
Remove the dishwasher racks to allow easy access to the bottom. Remove the dishwasher grate or filter and pour the baking soda and then the vinegar directly down the drain. The two ingredients will instantly combine and begin to bubble.
Let the solution come to a boil and start gradually pulling the hose out. Pour hot water down the drain to flush out the loosened dirt. Put the drain filter back on the drain and insert the dishwasher racks.
Instead of using the caustic bleach that many people use to clean and disinfect, disinfect it with vinegar and baking soda. Your dishwasher drain will be clean and ready for the next load.
How to clean the dishwasher drain hose
There are times when the clog is caught in the drain hose. While this task is not as easy as cleaning the drain, it is not impossible. Use the instructions below to solve the problem:
- Move the washing machine away from the wall. Remove the bottom access panel by first removing a few screws. Disconnect the power cord and the water supply.
- Place a drip tray or large flat plate under the hose connection and the tail end of the garbage disposal drain to catch the water leak. Disconnect the hoses from the dishwasher and sink by loosening the clamps. Check the hoses for kinks and cracks.
- If you find any damage, now is the time to replace them. Bend the hose around to loosen any clogs, then use a garden hose to rinse water through the tube, forcing the clogged food and debris from the dirt free. If the clog is still there, you can use a clothes hanger to gently probe the inside of the hose while pushing the clog out.
- Once the clog is removed, reconnect the hoses and clamps, reconnect the water and power source, and put the dishwasher back in place. Run the washer on a test cycle to make sure the problem is solved.
A clogged drain system
A clogged dishwasher that doesn’t drain is a relatively common and downright nasty kitchen problem, but oddly enough, the problem may not be the dishwasher itself. It could most likely be your newly installed garbage disposal.
If you have an excessive amount of water sitting at the bottom of your dishwasher, the first thing to do is check for clogs in the drain plugs located at the bottom of the dishwasher pan. Pieces of meat or vegetables, bits of paper towels, and other items can clog the drains and prevent the dishwasher from draining properly. This is why it’s important to always clean dirty dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
If the drain plugs are clean, check the filter, which is located either in the back of the dishwasher or at the base of the lower spray arm. Clean up any debris you find on or around the filter. If the drain plugs and filter are clean, move on to the drain tube, which often drains dirty water into your garbage disposal.
GE Nautilus Dishwasher wont run. fills water and doesnt drain. motor stuck humming buzzing sound
The top rubber tube drains your dishwasher down the garbage chute. The port on the new garbage disposal will have a plastic plug inside. If that plastic plug does not pop out, the dishwasher will not drain and water will collect back into the dishwasher. Start by disconnecting the garbage disposal; never operate the appliance while it is still plugged into an electrical outlet.
To remove the plastic plug, simply release the clamp holding the rubber tube and remove the tube.
Then take a screwdriver and feel the plug. If the screwdriver pushes all the way into the disposal, you are getting a clog somewhere else. But if you can feel the plastic plug, you have found the problem.
Use a hammer and tap on the back of the screwdriver to dislodge the plastic plug. Make sure you have removed the plastic from all edges of the round hole. Then reach into the top of the disposer through the sink- again, make sure the disposer is unplugged-and pull out the plug and any remaining pieces of plastic. Then reconnect the hose, connect the disposal, and your dishwasher should now drain properly.
Contamination of other areas of the drainage system
To check for contamination in other parts of the drain, follow these instructions:
- Unplug the dishwasher or turn off the circuit breaker on the electrical panel to prevent electric shock.
- Remove water from the dishwasher Line the floor under the dishwasher with towels and use a large cup or plastic container to scoop the water into a large bowl or sink. When water becomes too shallow to scoop up, use a towel to soak up any remaining moisture.
- Clean the spray arms Carefully slide the spray arms out of the bottom of the dishwasher. Check the holes for food debris and clean them with a wire hanger. Rinse your hands with warm water, making sure that all pieces of food have been removed, and set them aside.
- Clean the dishwasher filter usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher floor near the back of the appliance, and use a screwdriver for this purpose. Rinse the screen with water and wipe the surrounding area with a clean, damp sponge. Replace the screen and spray levers.
- Evaluate the feed line-if you have cleaned the screen and drain areas and your dishwasher still has standing water, you probably have a clog on the entire feed line. Find the power line under the sink. Place a bucket under the line to catch any falling water and disconnect the water line that feeds the main drain. Allowing water to drain into the bucket, look for clogs and knock them out. After removing all clogs, simply connect a water line and run an empty cycle through the dishwasher.

Dishwasher not emptying
Any technique, even a highly reliable, necessarily has its own motor life. For centuries, people have tried to invent a perpetual motion machine, but have never been able to create one. The dishwasher is no exception. The time comes and it begins to break. It usually happens all of a sudden: the dishwasher stops draining, what to do in this case? Such a breakdown can be caused by various reasons.
It makes a lot of noise when washing
Some dishwashers are equipped with electronic controls that have an electric switching device driven by the motor on the panel. The motor can make a grinding, noisy noise when the dishwasher goes through a cycle. This is normal and does not cause anxiety.
However, if your dishwasher hums and suddenly starts making a grinding sound, open the machine door in the middle of a cycle, wait for the steam to dissipate, pull out the bottom rack and check for any objects stuck around the drain wheel (rotating plastic blades). If the sound does not stop, remove the impeller and check if debris is stuck in the area of the blade.

How to repair a dishwasher, not draining cleaning. troubleshoot Whirlpool Kitchenaid
The following types of errors are characteristic of Bosch when there is no water drainage:
Parameters are quickly calculated and shown on the display. If the model is old, the gauges flash instead of appearing numbers.
But there are cases when the machine does not produce an error on its own. Then the user himself will know about the problem when you open the door, as a large amount of water accumulates in the depth.
There are 2 simple ways to reset the errors:
If the water still does not leave, look for the cause of problems with internal parts. Some of them can be solved by the user himself, but some breakdowns are repaired by the plumber.
Problems with the hose
The hose in the device is long and narrow, so it can kink. This is the most common cause. An object may have gotten in from above and obstructed the normal flow of water.
In this case, troubleshooting is carried out as follows:
- Unplugging the machine;
- removing screws, removing the door from the bottom;
- Disconnecting the hose with pliers;
- lowering one end of the hose into a bucket, turning on the drain.
Next you need to look at the following possible outcomes:
- Lack of water. The problem is in the PM, the hose is clean.
- Difficult water leakage. Debris is cleaned from the insides. For example, by applying a powerful jet of water through a garden hose. Another method is cleaning with a wire. To punch the hole must be carefully, without damaging the tube.
Clogged drain filter
Many people don’t completely clean the residue from the dishes. This is the main problem in clogging the interior of the machine. For example, a large amount of solid food or even bones can accumulate. The filter is clogged, the water stagnates.
To remove the particles unscrew the screw on the bottom. A gear inside appears clogged with debris (filter). Completely clean and rinse it.
This is done in the following steps:
- Eliminating the contents of the machine (dishes, cells);
- Unscrewing the lid on the bottom;
- Removal of the cup, the edges of which are made in the form of a grid;
- rinsing all parts of the filter: use a cleaner and a soft toothbrush.
The filter cleaning alone is not enough. Need to additionally open the lid of the drain pump. Look to see if there is debris. If it is visible, the particles are removed. When all actions are completed, the devices are placed back in order.
Pump breakage
The pump is needed to remove water from the inside of the machine. It is not possible to repair it; it must be completely replaced. To understand that this part is broken, listen to the sounds made by the machine during operation.
If they are missing, it is a sign of failure. During normal operation of the machine appears a characteristic buzzing noise, indicating the presence of water.
To remove the pump, use the manual:
- elimination of water that has accumulated at the bottom, using a mug or tilting the entire machine downwards;
- removing the filter;
- Turning the machine over to remove the pump;
- Unscrewing screws, removing the tray, hoses;
- check the pump for impeller rotation, if it is intermittent, replace the part;
- Checking the resistance with a multimeter through the contacts (the normal range is 200 ohms).
Assemble the device back. But it is recommended at this point to change the gasket, check the wiring.
The malfunction of the control unit
The control unit is the central apparatus through which all the operation of the machine is accomplished.
If there is a breakdown in it, it is easier to buy a new device than to repair it. All the work is done by this department, and the machine serves as a container for water supply.
Rarely can a person handle a diagnosis on their own.In order not to worsen the work of the machine, turn to a specialist. It is recommended to choose a service center that works with appliances from Bosch.

- Removal of the tube and the tank with pliers;
- Check for contamination and clean if you find it;
- Inside the tube inhale air, assessing the performance, if the part works, a small click is heard;
- Using a multimeter to assess electrical conductivity, normally the resistance should drop to 0.
When the breakage is detected, repair is impractical. You need a complete replacement with an original device, bought from an official Bosch manufacturer. When the new pressostat is purchased, it is installed in place of the old one, connecting the tubes, sensors.
Clogged siphon or pipe
Failure to rinse out food residue before placing dishes in the machine is the cause. If the clogging is minor, it is removed with steep boiling water.
But with large pieces of food, greasy plaque, a few simple methods will be needed:
