GE Profile dishwasher not draining properly -

Dishwasher drain issue - cloudy water at the bottom of dishwasher after every cycle. The water does not leak outside the dishwasher. My model is GE Profile - PDWT400R30BB

I've seen a number of online videos and checked the following:

  • [Filters are okay] Removed the spraying arms and checked all the filters at the bottom of the dishwasher - its all clean and there is not much debris
  • [Drain flap/ Check valve?] Checked the rubber flap-like valve at the bottom of the dishwasher drain to make sure that nothing is lodged there
  • [Air gap does not have debris] The dishwasher drain pipe is attached to an airgap on the sink - I checked to make sure that there is not debris in the airgap.
  • [Sink and Garbage disposal are working] The dishwasher leads to my sink and connects to my garbage disposal. The sink and the garbage disposal seem to be working fine.
  • [Float switch (Or whatever it is called] - This is the switch that floats up and detects whether there is water in the bottom. I hear the clicking sound every-time I press it, and according to Adam DIY (an youtube channel), we can assume that the switch is working
  • [Drain hose - white corrugated hose] - I removed the white corrugated hose where it attaches to the sink and snaked it - nothing was blocking it.

Information about the drain pump - I noticed that when I start the dishwater, it initially runs a drain cycle, and pushes some water (mostly clear water) into the drain and it comes out through this corrugated hose. So the pump is kinda working.

But even after that I see water at the bottom of the dishwasher


Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Check for level front to back.

Dishwashers require leveling when installing them under the counter. If the dishwasher is out of level, water sits at the low point.

Step 1

Position the dishwasher in front of the opening under the counter. The rear of the dishwasher should be facing the cabinets.

Step 2

Remove the screws that secure the lower access panel in the front of the dishwasher with a Phillips-head screwdriver or nut driver. Pull the access panel away from the dishwasher. The top of the stems on the leveling feet might have a hole for a socket wrench. Some models have feet that are hex shape, requiring an adjustable wrench to turn them for adjustment.

Step 3

Measure the opening under the counter between the floor and bottom of the counter with a tape measure. Measure rear of the dishwasher from the floor to the top of the dishwasher. The rear of the dishwasher should be one-half inch lower than the opening height.

Step 4

Find the adjustment area for the rear legs or rollers. Some dishwashers have an adjustment screw on the rear. Other models simply allow for turning the hex feet with an adjustable wrench. Adjust the rear legs or rollers up or down as necessary until the height is correct.

Step 5

Open the door to the dishwasher and pull out the bottom dish rack. Turn the lower spray arm so that it is pointing front to back. Place a level on the bottom of the dishwasher beside the spray arm.

Step 6

Adjust the front legs up or down as necessary with the adjustable wrench or socket wrench until the front is level with the back. Check the opposite side of the dishwasher with the level, and adjust as necessary.
