The dishwasher stopped draining a few days ago. I reached in to unclog it, but couldn't find a clog. Then I poured some draino in and that didn't do any good either.
I'm thinking maybe the pump or solenoid that controls draining the water is out or jammed? It looks like the drain tube goes up to the sink, so I suppose it uses a pump to drain the water? Any ideas on how to fix this?

I removed the drain cover and used the tube in the picture to siphon all of the water out. The dishwasher is a "Frigidaire Gallery"

After ensuring that the drain is clear, the next thing to check is the drain hose that connects your dishwasher to your drain under your sink. Make sure that hose is not clogged or pinched.
