Dishwasher Drain Pump Fix
The Challenge
Two Inches of Water, Zero Drainage
The dishwasher finished every cycle sitting in dirty water and smelling musty. The drain pump motor had burned out after a glass shard jammed the impeller — a common, quick fix once correctly diagnosed.
- Burned-out drain pump from a jammed impeller.
- Partially blocked drain hose compounding the fault.
The Fix 
What We Did
- Cleared and confirmed the fault
Removed the shard, tested the pump — motor dead, housing intact.
- Fitted a genuine pump and hose
New pump plus a cleared, reseated drain hose with a proper high loop.
- Ran a full hot cycle empty
Bone-dry tub at the end; filters cleaned and customer shown the routine.
Result
Complete drainage, fresh-smelling tub and a quieter wash — fixed in under an hour for the price of a family takeaway.
