Dishwasher won’t drain

appliancesdishwasher

So yesterday I noticed as the dishwasher got to the drain cycle, it was making a buzzing sound but I wasn't hearing any water go down the drain as I normally do.

I do notice that right when it starts to drain, I hear a small amount of water getting through, but not what I expect.

So far I have drained the dishwasher by hand and cleaned the screen and got any pieces of food but nothing really large seemed blocking.

I have not yet taken the pump housing out, that will be today but I'm wondering if there is something coming through, it may just mean a clog in the hose?

Not sure if someone has had the same situation, but cleaning out a clogged hose is going to be a bit easier than dealing with the pump.

Hopefully can save myself some time!

I had similar problem. Removed the vent cap next to faucet on sink,turned dishwasher on & clog came out from the dishwasher vent..along with water! So be ready with towel.
