Drain fault — water not draining

Remove the lower rack, lift out the cylindrical sump filter, and rinse away food debris
Scoop standing water and check the sump well for glass, seeds, or a stuck impeller
Inspect the drain hose for kinks and clear the air gap or disposer knockout if newly installed
Run a cycle and listen for the drain pump — a hum with no flow means a jammed or failed pump
Replace the drain pump if the impeller is broken or the motor is silent
Pro Diagnostic Tip
A brand-new install that throws E03 almost always has the disposer knockout plug still in place — check that before touching the pump.
