Kenmore dishwasher drain repair
Standing water after a completed cycle. On a Whirlpool-built 665 this frequently arrives with a code on the display, and read against Whirlpool's own table it points at the drain path rather than at the pump — which is the difference between a filter clean and a part.

On the visit
How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Filter and sump
Cleared and looked over. Where the water goes down but takes its time, this is usually the beginning and the end of it.
-
02
The disposer plug
A knockout left in place when a new disposer went in stops the drain completely. It is a common cause and it is free to check.
-
03
The hose and the high loop
A drain hose that never rises above the door lets the sink drain back into the machine. It presents as a dishwasher problem and is a plumbing one.
-
04
The check valve and the pump
Tested rather than replaced on suspicion. On these platforms the drain pump is accessible and inexpensive, which makes guessing tempting and wrong.
-
05
Clear the code and run a cycle
A drain repair is not finished until a full cycle has ended dry.

Whirlpool publishes a real code scheme for these, which makes a dishwasher one of the more readable appliances on this badge — provided you read the code against the right builder's table.
- 665 is Whirlpool, 587 is Frigidaire, 630 is Bosch
- Drainage and wash performance are most of the calls
- The code on the display is Whirlpool's code

About Kenmore dishwasher drain repair
About a Kenmore dishwasher that will not drain
This resolves in a sequence that runs from free to expensive: the disposer plug, the drain hose and its high loop, the filter, the sump, the check valve, then the pump. That order comes from how often each one turns out to be the answer. A garbage disposer fitted with its dishwasher plug still in place holds water in the tub every cycle, is free to correct, and is quoted as a pump more often than anything else on this list. Underneath, the machine is a Whirlpool, a Frigidaire or a Bosch, and they do not lay out a sump the same way.

Before you book
Questions about Kenmore dishwasher drain repair
There is standing water in the bottom every time.
Start with the disposer plug if one was fitted recently, then the filter. Between them those account for most of the standing-water calls we take on this catalog.
Will you replace the pump if the line is blocked?
No. A pump being asked to push through a blockage is not a broken pump. Clearing the path and proving the pump afterwards is the correct order and the cheaper one.
