The Dishwasher does not drain. If Cancel/Drain is pressed, the motor runs but it still does not drain.

Hi Singh,

The first thing I would check is the air gap on top of the sink (if any).

Remove the cap and the top piece and check for any clog.

The second thing I would check is the check valve (#15 on the pump & motor break down diagram).

Remove all water from the dishwasher, remove the bottom panel, disconnect the drain hose from the check valve and unscrew it. Check for any clog.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dishwasher Model DU940PWKQ1 (basic model DU940PWK)

Good luck.
Gene.

I appreciate your help, Gene. The Check Valve was clogged. I cleared it, and the draining is working now.

I'm glad you were able to fix it.

I cant figure this one out. Do you know why my new dishwasher wont drain either?

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the dishwasher and the most specific description of the problem.
