Unhappy Maytag dishwasher #mdb7160aww
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: mdb7160aww
Age: 5 - 10 years

My dishwasher will not drain. I took the kickpanel off and I can hear the motor trying to do it's thing. I decided to pull it out and see if the hose was clogged, but I can't get the dishwasher out from under the counter. It fills and swishes water around...just won't drain. Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

Thank you

Tina

Does the motor run in the drain cycle?

If it does the drain impeller may be damaged.

You will have to take it a part to see.

Here is a link to your dishwasher model mdb7160aww.

Thumbs up It only gets worse!

I haven't checked the impellers yet, but now I'm leaking at the water line underneath. Looks like I'm going to have to either figure out how to get it out from under the counter (It's stuck) Or call someone to come do it. Can't let the water keep going.
Thanks for the direction though. I appreciate you and this site!!

Tina

Are there some brackets screwed into the bottom of the counter top. That's what holds mine in. Then if the drain hose and water supply hose and electric wire are too short I have to disconnect them to get it out.
