Water Pooling at Bottom of Dishwasher

Seems to still run ok-- I thought maybe a piece of a sippy cup was clogging it, but now I am not sure. Def need someone to come take a look, but was wondering if anyone else had this issue and what the cause was.

Thanks!

Re: Water Pooling at Bottom of Dishwasher

That has happened to us twice in the year and a half we've been living here. Do you have a food disposal in your sink drain? I believe the dishwasher connects to that somehow. Sometimes if there is something backed up it will make water enter the dishwasher. When it happened to us, water was leaking out of the closed dishwasher... there was about 2 inches of water.

Anyway, I ran the dishwasher cycle as normal and the water drained out 100% at the end. From now on I just make sure to run the food disposal for a few seconds after every time I hand wash dishes.

HTH.

We had that problem, had someone come in and they said it was the motor. Cost $100 or so, then it happened again a few weeks later and we bought a new dishwasher.

Re: Water Pooling at Bottom of Dishwasher

i just typed in pol of water in dishwasher....this came up. Typically it is usually a clogged drain....if not unclogge, you can cause the motr to burn outl.....


1: clogged. - maybe just at the first outlet stage where there is a mesh cover to try and keep out larger chunks. Maybe just a screw or two to get this cover off, and cleaned out. Maybe clogged in the impeller itself, or the outflow hose. This will require more taking apart to get at.

2: the impeller (usually plastic) has stripped off the grippy parts that allow it to hold onto the metal motor spindle. Usually the impeller can be replaced as a component (I did mine twice so far) but the dealer will probably try and sell you a pump assemply. If you can get your hands on a blow-up diagram you can possibly find part numbers to make ordering easier.

3: re: valve. My dishwasher uses an electric solonoid to switch the spray to drain valve. I can see if this is moving correctly by removing the lower front cover and watching if it moves correctly during a cycle. Usually accompanied by a fairly clear smack sound.
Could be the solonoid is burnt out and can't move the lever to switch the valve which allows the water to pump out.

Hope this helps.
