draining from my
dishwasher

hose.
Filter clogged.
Kitchen sink or waste pipe is
clogged.
Check the drain hose.
Check coarse the filter.

the problem is the kitchen sink that is not draining, you
may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for dish-

the dishwasher will drain out the water.
Open the door after draining stage is complete and check
if the suds have disappeared. Repeat if necessary.
