Usually a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose or garbage disposal connection, or a failed drain pump. Start by cleaning the filter; if water still won't drain, the pump or drain line may need repair.

New garbage disposals come with a knockout plug in the dishwasher inlet. If it wasn't removed during installation, the dishwasher can't drain.

Many modern dishwashers use condensation drying and need rinse aid to dry well. If rinse aid doesn't help, the heating element, thermostat or vent fan may have failed.

Clogged filters or spray arms, low water fill, water that isn't hot enough or a failing wash pump are common causes.
