Steps to Check Drain Hose
In either case, it’s better to leave it to the master technicians at The Appliance Pros, who can troubleshoot and repair any dishwasher appliances from our family of brands, which includes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Amana and Inglis.
Check the Check Valve
Normally, you will be able to move the valve bracket with ease. But if it’s stuck, this means the solenoid is probably burnt and the drain valve won’t let water through in either direction. This often happens if your dishwasher is a number of years old and has never been serviced.
Depending on your electrical skills and comfort level, you can order a new solenoid and replace it or call an appliance service technician.
It’s Better to Prevent
This can not only prevent clogged dishwasher issues but also help make your dishwasher perform at its best and last longer.
