Does anyone know why I might have water sitting in the bottom of my Bosch dishwasher?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with my Kenmoore dishwasher.

First, I removed any trapped particulate in the drain at the bottom. That involved having to unscrew and remove the trap to get at some of the gunk underneath.

Next, I re-ran the wash, and it drained. Instead of coming out of the normal opening inside the disposal, it gushed out the "backup" or overflow drain atop the sink.

After checking the lines, I noticed that the hose that led to the disposal had a slight kink. I was able to maneuver the hose to where it didn't kink as bad. Apparently, there was stuff dammed up in that kink. Now all drains as it should.

Two answers.
One.... it might not be draining completely, which isn't a problem unless you don't use the washer often, If you leave it for a month, that water will getting pretty scummy.

Two..... , I noticed in my last house, the Dishwasher had electronic buttons, and everytime I was doing something at the counter and brushed against the dishwasher, it would start up.
So I would turn it off, but next time I went to use it, the water was in the bottom, Because it doesn't drain when you just turn it off....Do you think you might be doing this and not equating the two?

Answer 3

The check valve maybe bad that is in the drain line.

Answer 4

This happened to me once. Strangely enough, after I ran the garbage disposal it drained just fine.

Answer 5

Clogged drain or valve

Answer 6

Might have not gone through the cycle as well!
