# U-Line drain pump and drain repair

What this involves

Pump and gravity installations told apart first

The hose run checked before the pump is blamed

Cabinetry damage looked for, not waited for

Find out what the installation actually is

Gravity or pumped. The answer changes the whole diagnosis and it is not visible from the front of the machine.

Then the hose

Kinked, bent or pulled — the maker warns about all three during installation. A kinked hose behind a built-in machine looks exactly like a failed pump and costs nothing.

Then the pump and its reservoir

A pump that runs and moves nothing, a pump that never runs, and a reservoir that never fills are three different repairs.

And the cabinet base, before we leave

Water under an undercounter machine goes into the carcase and the floor first. Finding it early is worth more than the repair.
