Dishwasher not draining — New York, New York
Standing water at the bottom of a dishwasher after a cycle points to a clogged drain hose, a blocked air gap, or a faulty drain pump. Food debris, grease buildup, and kinked hoses are the most common culprits. A plumber can diagnose whether the issue is in the appliance connection or the kitchen drain line and restore proper drainage.
