Thermador dishwasher not draining is a known issue affecting DWHD660WFP. Our technicians specialize in Thermador-specific diagnostics and repair.
Bosch dishwasher was leaking onto our hardwood floors in Rockridge. EasyBear sent someone same-day who replaced the door gasket and checked the drain pump — completely fixed and no water damage.
“One of the induction zones on our Thermador cooktop stopped responding. The EasyBear tech diagnosed a failed induction coil and ordered the part. Second visit was quick — total cost $385. Not cheap,…”
Thermador dishwasher not draining is typically caused by clogged drain hose or failed drain pump. Thermador-specific factor: star speed wash cycle drain pump thermal fuse tripping during accelerated programs with heavy soil loads. Repair costs $100-$250 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Sapphire series zeolite crystal drying system regeneration failure causing excessive moisture retention and sensor recalibration loops
AquaStop Plus anti-flood system false activation from condensation on the base pan moisture sensor, halting drainage mid-cycle
Third rack Flex loading tray rail binding preventing complete drainage of trapped water in the tray recess
InfoLight floor-projection LED failure on fully integrated panel-ready models — the only visible cycle status indicator, absence masks drain errors

Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Bay Area Thermador dishwasher AquaStop false activations increase during winter when kitchen temperature differentials cause condensation inside the base pan — the moisture sensor reads this as a leak and locks out the drain cycle. Homes in the fog belt with unheated kitchens see this most frequently. The technician dries the base pan and checks the AquaStop sensor calibration before replacing any mechanical components.
Tilt the unit forward 45 degrees and check the base pan for water — any water triggers the AquaStop E15 sensor and blocks drainage
Run a drain-only test cycle via the Thermador service menu — listen for drain pump engagement and time the drain duration
Inspect the drain hose at the garbage disposal connection — verify the disposal knockout plug was removed and the hose has a proper high loop
Check the InfoLight projector on integrated models — if the LED is burned out, the user may not see the error code displayed; access the service menu for stored fault codes instead
The technician first checks the AquaStop base pan for condensation or leak water, dries it, and resets the sensor. For genuine drain pump failure, the pump assembly is accessed from below and replaced — a 45-minute repair. Zeolite cassette replacement is a Thermador-specific procedure requiring removal of the drying module from the door assembly and installing the factory-charged cassette. The InfoLight LED is replaced as a complete module through the bottom panel.

“Sub-Zero 36-inch built-in with a noisy compressor. Compressor mounts were worn causing vibration. Mounts replaced and compressor serviced for $295. Fridge is quiet and cooling perfectly. Sub-Zero expertise is rare and valuable.”

“Our Samsung dishwasher was leaking from the bottom. The technician found a loose hose clamp on the circulation pump. It was a simple fix for $120 — I really appreciated the honesty since they could have sold me a new pump. The dishwasher has been leak-free since. Trustworthy company.”

“KitchenAid built-in refrigerator was forming puddles underneath. Clogged defrost drain was sending water out the bottom instead of into the drain pan. The tech cleared the drain, added a drain heater clip to prevent recurrence, and cleaned the drain pan. $175 for a fix that eliminated a really annoying problem.”

“Our LG French door refrigerator stopped cooling overnight. With a fridge full of food, we needed emergency service. The tech came same-day, diagnosed a failed compressor relay, and had it running in under an hour. He also told us about LG's compressor warranty which covered the part. Outstanding service.”

“Our 20-year-old Sub-Zero had a warm refrigerator section. The tech was clearly experienced with Sub-Zero — he diagnosed a failing evaporator fan and weak door gaskets. Replaced both, cleaned the condenser, and the unit is performing like new. $520 for a repair on a unit worth $15K+ to replace. No-brainer.”

“The technician arrived within 2 hours of my call and diagnosed the issue immediately — a faulty defrost timer causing ice buildup. He had the part on his truck and fixed it in under an hour. My fridge has been running perfectly for 3 months now. Very reasonable price at $275.”

“GE upright freezer was running but not getting below 25°F. The evaporator fan motor was failing. Tech replaced it and also checked the defrost system which was still working fine. $210 total and the freezer is back to 0°F. Saved about $800 in frozen food that would have spoiled. Worth every penny.”

“Our chest freezer stopped freezing and we had hundreds of dollars of meat inside. Called at 8am and the tech arrived by 10:30am. Faulty thermostat was the culprit — replaced in 30 minutes. Saved all our food! Cost was $175. Can't thank them enough for the fast response.”

“Finding someone experienced with Sub-Zero was tough until I found this company. Our 15-year-old Sub-Zero was running constantly and not cooling. The tech cleaned the condenser, replaced the fan motor, and it's been running like new. Worth every penny of the $450 repair — a new Sub-Zero is $12,000+.”

“The notorious Samsung ice maker problem struck our French door fridge. The tech was very familiar with this specific issue, performed the recommended fix including defrosting the evaporator and installing a new ice maker kit. It's been 6 weeks and still working great. $350 well spent.”
