My dishwasher is brand new and it's not draining...

Sorry to hear that. If you checked and its not one of the reasons I have listed then it can be possibly just a 'bad' dishwasher. I would contact whomever you bought it from.

@@TheAppliancePlug Actually, it was one of your reasons 🤦🏾‍♀️ The sad part is years ago we had a plumber install a new disposal... not long after we discovered that the dishwasher wouldn't drain... The Plumber couldn't fix it so the dishwasher went in the garbage and we just used our hands for years. This blk Friday we decided to finally get a new dishwasher... my hubby installed it very meticulously and after running the 1st cycle with an empty dishwasher we got a clogged drain message. I thought it was peculiar that a brand new dishwasher is having the same issue as the last dishwasher so I hit YT University... Thank You so much for your video!!! The problem has finally been solved and the plumber permanently fired for not knowing that he had to knock out the cap in the disposal 🤦🏾‍♀️😆
