A GE dishwasher in Palm Harbor wouldn’t drain — it would run through its cycle but leave water sitting in the bottom of the tub instead of pumping it out.

Pulling the drain pump and testing it confirmed it had failed — it wasn’t moving water anymore.

We swapped in a new pump and ran a full test cycle before calling it done. The dishwasher drains normally again at the end of every cycle. If your dishwasher is leaving standing water after it runs, a failed drain pump is one of the first things worth checking — see our dishwasher repair page for what else we typically look at.
