Dishwasher not draining properly

[Liberty Belle]

The sinks that it's tied into are just fine.

Has anyone here had that problem? I guess we should call a plumber? I'm not really sure what to do.

We had this problem about 2 months ago, it was a clog in the washer. Seems someone had dumped pistachio shells from a plate.

Yep call a plumber probably just a simple clog somewhere in a line.

We've had this happen twice:

1) hubby took out the filter on the bottom of the diswasher and cleaned it and cleaned out gunk underneath. Worked fine after that.

2) the computer circuits blew, and after numerous attempts at repair, needed a new one.

Good luck, hope you can get it fixed!

Thanks, you two. Maybe DH will have a go at it before we call a plumber.

Sounds pretty much like what we had happen to our dishwasher as well. Another thing is if you have a garbage disposal, make sure that is cleaned out as the DW drains into that.

This is a common cause for drainage problems in all the dishwashers we've had. We even had one of the plastic drain tube things get full of gunk.

Oh, we had to replace a valve or something that sits in the drain too. It was easy to replace once we saw the repair guy do it .

My sister had this problem. She googled it, then took the drain apart and the hose that leads to the "air vent". It was very clogged, she cleaned it out, put it back together and it works great.
