Dishwasher Not Draining Water After the Cycle

Opening your dishwasher and seeing water at the bottom is frustrating — and a clear sign something isn’t right.

This is one of those problems that never fixes itself.

Why Water Is Staying Inside

In simple terms, the dishwasher can’t push the water out.

This usually happens because:

Left alone, this can cause smells, leaks, and even electrical issues.

You shouldn’t.

Standing water puts pressure on seals and internal parts. The longer it sits, the higher the chance of leaks under your kitchen floor.

Many people try:

Sometimes it helps — often it doesn’t. Chemicals can also damage internal parts.

During a same-day visit, a technician checks the full drain system, clears blockages, and repairs or replaces the failing component.

Most dishwasher drain issues are resolved quickly when handled properly.

If your dishwasher isn’t draining, the safest option is to schedule service before water damage becomes part of the problem.

One visit can save you from a much bigger mess.
