How To Fix a Dishwasher That Won't Drain

Miele Dishwasher That Won't Drain. Clear the Garbage Disposal: If your dishwasher drains into a disposal, run it for 15–30 seconds with water to clear any food trapped in the shared drain pipe. Clean the Filter: Remove the bottom rack to find the cylindrical filter at the base. Twist it (usually counter clockwise) to pull it out. Rinse it under hot water and scrub away grease or debris with an old toothbrush. Check the Air Gap: If you have a small chrome cylinder on your sink, pop the cap off and check for food particles.
