What it usually means when your GE dishwasher is not draining

Standing water after a cycle usually means a clogged filter or sump, a blocked drain hose or disposal port, or a drain pump that cannot move water — we test the path before quoting a pump.

What a technician checks on site

  • Clean and inspect fine filter, coarse filter, and sump area
  • Check drain hose, high loop, air gap, and disposal connection
  • Test drain pump motor and impeller under load
  • Verify control sends drain voltage and float/leak inputs are normal
