The old Magic Chef dishwasher that was in my apartment when I bought it no longer drains. It used to work fine.
About a year and a half ago, the super fixed a leaky pipe under the sink. He told me the dishwasher had somehow been disconnected from the pipe (don't look at me!), and supposedly fixed it. I don't use the dishwasher much, so when I got around to checking it, months later, it filled up with water, but didn't drain the water out. I tried several times, but after each try I had to remove all the water with some improvised scooping implement.
I'd like to fix this myself, if it makes sense to do so instead of buying a new one. Any suggestions on how to pinpoint the cause of the problem and proceed? I tried the Super first, but he told me they don't do appliance repairs (no kidding!).
Thanks in advance.
