Problem: Draining problem.
How to Fix AL6 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the lower front access panel (kickplate) to get to the drain pump and hose.
- Place a shallow pan and towels under the drain hose connection to catch any residual water.
- Check the entire length of the drain hose for any visible kinks or clogs. Squeeze the hose to feel for any blockages.
- Disconnect the drain hose from the drain pump and check the pump’s inlet for any debris or foreign objects that could be jamming the impeller.
- If the hose and pump are clear, the drain pump motor may have failed and will likely need to be tested and replaced by a service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
