John S Cary , IL June 17, 2016 Dishwasher not draining Our dishwasher stopped draining, and after running a few tests, it seemed the pump was the problem. It was easy to replace after removing the dishwasher and then tipping it backwards. Everything works great now. It cost me a trip to the hardware store however, as I also had to replace the old hot water hose. 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
