Published 2025-12-16 · Error & Fault Codes
A Cove dishwasher that will not drain leaves water standing in the tub at the end of the cycle. Cove does not publish numeric codes, so we work the drain path directly: the filter, the drain hose, and the drain pump. A clog in any one of them produces the same standing-water symptom.
What We Check
Reading the sign is the start; testing confirms the part. Here is how we work this fault on Cove:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining | A clogged filter, hose, or drain pump | Clean the filter and hose, test the pump |
| Not cleaning well | A spray-arm blockage or low water flow | Clean the arms and check the inlet and pressure |
How We Fix It
- A Cove dishwasher not draining fully
- Water pooling at the base or the door
- Long cycle times or incomplete drying
Other Cove signs we read on Cove include Leaking and Not starting. See the full list and model lines on our Cove repair page.
Why It Matters
A dishwasher fault that leaves standing water or trips leak protection is worth handling before it reaches cabinetry or flooring. We find the underlying leak or blockage rather than only clearing the code, so the problem does not come back.
What to Have Ready When You Book
Before the visit, jot down the model number and whatever the Cove is doing, including any code on the display. Repair timing depends on diagnosis and parts availability.
