LG Dishwasher Not Draining
Dishwasher Not Draining is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Hardness the cycle cannot compensate for
Spotting and film here are usually the supply rather than the machine, and no wash programme fixes 16 grains per gallon on its own.
A clogged filter or drain line
The single most common cause of drainage and cleaning-performance complaints.
A failed door latch or control fault
Many dishwashers won't start at all if the door sensor doesn't register a full, secure close.
Local conditions that matter here
Las Vegas water runs about 16 grains per gallon — genuinely hard, and among the hardest municipal supplies in the country. Anything plumbed here accumulates mineral faster than the manual assumes: fill valves narrow, heating elements fur, and output tapers off over months rather than stopping outright.
