Ikea Dishwasher not draining
If your Ikea dishwasher is not draining and you are left with standing water in the tub, start with the most common cause: clogged sump filters. A blocked coarse filter or fine filter in the sump can restrict water flow and leave your dishwasher water not draining properly. Next, check the drain pump, since a failed pump motor or damaged impeller can keep water from being pushed through the drain hose. If the dishwasher drain pump is not working, the unit will not clear the tub at the end of the cycle. After that, look at the control board, which sends power to the drain pump, then inspect the drain impeller, drain solenoid kit, and drain valve for damage, debris, or failure to actuate. These are all common reasons for an Ikea dishwasher clogged drain condition or a dishwasher not draining into the sink drain or garbage disposal connection. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to the problem. Enter your model number to find the exact Ikea dishwasher replacement part, whether you need a sump filter, drain pump, control board, drain impeller, drain solenoid kit, drain valve, or drain hose part for your specific machine.
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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.
