Why your dishwasher is not draining
The dishwasher shows it plainly enough: an inch or two of standing water sits in the sump after a completed cycle, and it drains only slowly by hand.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01Debris jamming the impeller
- 02A drain pump motor that's seized
- 03A check valve stuck shut
- 04A drain hose kinked or blocked somewhere in the run
Quick checks worth doing
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the obvious cause: check the drain hose for kinks or blockages and clear any accessible filter. Second, check that the unit is sitting level — a strong tilt alone can stop drainage cold. Worth pinning down: open the door mid-cycle and check whether there is water in the tub at all, and whether it is hot. If it's still acting up after that, a failed pump sits inside the base, and reassembling it wrong risks a leak worse than the original complaint.
First we test the dishwasher end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Not draining has more than one possible cause, and telling them apart is what the on-site diagnosis is for.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a dishwasher
The St. Augustine climate — hot summers, high humidity, mild winters — quietly shapes how a dishwasher wears here. Coastal humidity and salt air work on the door seal and exposed fasteners, on top of the hard water this region already leaves as scale on the heater and spray arms. We factor that into every St. Augustine call — checking the parts this climate wears first, not just the fault you reported.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Do you use OEM parts?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
How does the visit work?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
