It is clogged with old food not completely washed from the plates. Remove all dishes and use a strong plumbing detergent (not lye), which should remove the cloggage. Afterwards, run it empty to wash away all harmful chemicals, and it should work fine.My dish washer wont drain completely , what are the potential reasons for this?
The drain hose may not have the proper loop in it and thus water is just sitting there as water seeks its own level. Also try filling up the sink with water and then letting it down (warm water is fine) and see if you have a decent vortex this will let you know if the drain is clear or needs to be water Jetted
It might be that the drain pipe has dropped and doesn't go higher than the level where it attaches to the sink drain. Try hooking it up as high as you can under the sink, kind of like a p-trap.
there could be food particles that the drain cleaner might not eat up as its trying to do its job...that or a dish/utensil





you should have a plumber come out and look at it....or if you recently bought your appliance from Lowe's or Home Depot...check and see if the warranty is still good...





good luck!
there is a strainer in the bottom of the washer clean it and try rinsing dishes better before you put them in, good luck.
its plugged up just as any drain would be when it has so much stuff tossed down it..
