Standing Water Left in Dishwasher After Cycle? Dit is wie je moet bellen
If a pool of murky water remains at the bottom of your dishwasher once the cycle finishes, the drain path is partially or fully obstructed. Common culprits include a clogged filter basket, a blocked drain hose kink, a failed drain pump impeller, or a plugged air gap. Leaving the issue unresolved leads to foul odors, bacterial growth, and potential water damage to the cabinet floor. An appliance-repair technician can diagnose whether the obstruction is mechanical or electrical, clear or replace the faulty component, and test the full drain cycle to confirm proper operation.
