Inglis Dishwasher not draining

If your Inglis dishwasher is not draining and you are left with standing water at the bottom of the tub, start with the most common cause: clogged sump filters. A blocked coarse filter, fine filter, screen filter, or strainer in the sump can restrict water flow and keep the dishwasher from draining properly. If the filters are clear, the next part to check is the drain pump, since a failed pump motor or damaged impeller can stop water from moving through the drain hose. After that, look at the control board, which powers the drain pump, then inspect the drain impeller, drain solenoid kit, and drain valve for damage, sticking, or debris. These are the most likely reasons an Inglis dishwasher is not draining, has water not draining after the cycle, or leaves dishwasher standing water in the tub. RepairClinic makes it easier to track down the problem and get the right fix. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Inglis replacement part that fits your dishwasher, whether you need a filter, drain pump, control board, drain impeller, drain solenoid kit, drain valve, or drain hose.

01 - Clogged Sump Filters

The sump assembly, located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, contains the pump motor or motors to both circulate and drain the water. There are usually two filters in this assembly to strain food particles: a course filter and a fine filter. If the filters are clogged, the unit will get low water flow and poor washability. To clean filters, remove them from the sump and wash them with soap, warm water, and brush. If the filters are damaged, they should be replaced.

02 - Inglis Dishwasher Drain Pump

The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. Drain pumps are not repairable—if the drain pump is defective, you must replace it.

03 - Inglis Dishwasher Control Board

A dishwasher's control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the drain pump, preventing it from drawing the water out of the tank and forcing it through the drain hose to the garbage disposal or sink drain pipe.

04 - Inglis Dishwasher Drain Impeller

The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.

05 - Inglis Dishwasher Drain Solenoid Kit

The drain solenoid opens the drain valve to allow the water to exit the dishwasher. If the drain solenoid fails the valve will not open causing the dishwasher not to drain.

06 - Inglis Dishwasher Drain Valve

Over time, the drain valve can get clogged with debris. To ensure that water can flow through the drain valve, clean out the valve. If the drain valve is clear of debris but it still won’t actuate, replace it. Drain valves are not repairable—if the drain valve is defective, you must replace it.
