The dishwasher won’t start or stops mid-cycle and immediately begins draining continuously while beeping and won’t accept a new program. Water may be visible under/around the unit, or a damp/steamy smell may be present. Leakage check: Inspect the door area and usage conditions. Confirm only dishwasher detergent was used. Remove debris from the door gasket and bottom lip and ensure racks or tall items aren’t distorting the door seal. Check the toe-kick area for puddles or water marks. Verify the sink or disposal isn’t backing water into the dishwasher.

Likely cause: Drain pump clogged, drain hose restricted, or control board fault
Clean the drain pump and filter (usually under the door or front panel). Check drain hose for kinks or clogs. Ensure drain is within 30-96 inches of unit. Reset power at breaker for 30 seconds. If persists, drain pump or control board needs replacement.
Difficulty: Moderate Repair
