Default Dishwasher not draining

My 3-4 year old dishwasher won't drain properly. I
cannot see anything clogging up the drain area. How
can I fix this? Thanks, Rosalie


The drain hose may be bent too tightly.
If it drains into the disposal, the port on the disposal may be blocked.
If there is an air-gap device (top of sink), it may be clogged.
There could be an internal problem in the dishwasher (drain solenoid
valve/pump, etc.).

Sometimes it's helpful to disconnect the drain hose from the sink
connection, put it in a bucket and *briefly* run the machine.
If still no drainage, the problem is inside the machine.
