Dishwasher Not Draining Water

All of the water won't pump out of my dishwasher. After it completes its cycle, about an inch of water remains in the bottom of the dishwasher. However it does get the dishes clean.

My dishwasher won't drain. I don't see anything caught in the drain. It cleaned the dishes just fine but won't pump out the water. It is a Whirlpool.

My husband fixed the dishwasher by removing a plug of garbage in the drain to the sink release valve. (04/24/2008)

There might be something wrong with the pump itself. I advise you to call repair and have it serviced by a professional. (04/24/2008)

RE: Dishwasher Not Draining Water

I agree with rae. Google the problem, and you will come up with some directions to remove the overflow valve from your sink near the faucet and how to clean it out. When this happened to me it took about 5 minutes, that's all. Even if this turns out to not be the problem, you've only wasted 5 minutes! For me it solved the problem. (04/24/2008)

I have a GE Profile Performance dishwasher, Model # GSD4920Z04BB. The water will not drain. How can I avoid a service call? I'd like to try this on my own. Thank you.
