RE: [DIY] Help. Dishwasher not draining please please

Could be a partial plug. Disconnect the DW from the sink drain and blow into the hose. MAKE SURE YOU'RE HIGHER THAN THE BOTTOM OF THE DW. If it blasts out, see if there is something that came out of it the pipe that might be clogging it. Check to see if it's draining properly.

Subject: [DIY] Help. Dishwasher not draining please please

We have a 7 year old ge profile dishwasher with controls hidden on top. There is standing water in the bottom. Water from all parts of the cycle, doesn't fully drain. Here's what we have done

No disposal is connected properly with high hose

Checked and removed all hoses, drain baskets, ect. To check for clogs or debri

Replaced drain pump with the selonoid part

Ran cycles with normal and just rinse resulting in same problem.

Float looks ok but are checking as we speak with multimeter

Disconnected from sink, sink is fine.

We ran the dishwasher into bucket. Water does come out but slow, a little more than trickle. It seems to run long enough (making me think timer issues are fine) but the actual water isn't flowing fast enough.

Is the drain hose supposed to be pumping out the water at a decent flow, similar to maybe washing your hands? Or is it supposed to drain a little bit since it's being pushed so far by the pump? If it's supposed to drain faster at a higher volume, what could be slowing it? Thanks for any help.
