This is the first time I’ve had this problem, but the dishwasher’s not draining. Is there a button or something I can hold to get it to drain? Does anybody have a manual for this thing? I bought it on craigslist. I love the dishwasher, and this is the first problem I’ve had.
Hello,
Most of the time this is due to the drain motor having a clog, you can fix this yourself it’s pretty simple.
Here is a video that explains how to do so.
You are correct. I have since fixed this.
My problem was simple: I needed to turn on the garbage disposal. It had backed up, and the drain from the washer goes in to the garbage disposal. Nice and easy 
Thanks for your help.
