I have had the same problem, but let me ask this.... do you have a garbage disposal and a double sink like I do in my kitchen ? If so, here's what I do and it solves the water not draining out of the dishwasher (By the way, it also works if no water is coming into your d/w when you first turn it on) ----- Here is what I do, with your d/w off or on, doesnt seems to matter, but take some sort of cover and coverup the drain opening in the bottom of the sink that does not have the disposal attached to it and take a plunger and place it as though you are going to plunge the other drain on the other sink with the garbage disposal attached to the sink, (remember, I am assuming you have two sinks side by side like me with a disposal attached to one of the sinks), and then quickly run water down sink drain with the disposal on that has the disposal attached to it - then
plunge several times on that drain with the disposal. Of course, you should or someone helping you, should hold the cover down while you are plunging. Then switch the plunger to the drain on the other sink and cover the drain on the sink with disposal attached it and repeat the process - this forces any clogged debris out of the lines. Hope this works for you -- and if confused please let me know.
