Hello. There should be no water left in the bottom at the end of the wash cycle. There are a few possible causes, the most common one being debris in the small pump that pumps the water out of the machine and into your sink drain, or debris in the hose vrom the dish washer to the sink, or a blockage where the dishwasher empties into your food disposal [if you have one installed].

My GE wwwa5600 washer is working great, but when it drians the water out it is leaking water in the floor? The drian is not blocked .

It may be a cracked drain hose behind the drain/ clean out cap
or a loose clamp.
i had the same issue and fixed this myself in less than 20 minutes.
I also removed the drain cap and found missing laundry items and
a few other items blocking the system.
If you have not googled or checked you model online
you can find out the location of this cap, which is normally
behind the bottom front plate on your washing machine.
Generaly on the right side.

Asko fifteen eighty five dishwasher completes cycle, but the drain cup area still has water in it.

The drain cup normally has water in it after it drains. The pump runs it empty, but when it stops, some water runs back down from the drain hose, which you see in the drain cup. If there is water in the bottom of the tub, you may be having some siphoning coming back after draining. Check to make sure the drain hose has been routed up to the bottom of the countertop as per the installation instructions. That's what prevents siphoning, and its very important so it doesn't suck sewer water back in with the clean dishes!!

The function of your water pump is not normal. Check the rubber bushing or the impeller, I suppose they are loose.

Water dripping out of freezer into bottom of refrigator

It is normal for water to run from the freezer to the bottom of the refrigerator during the automatic defrost cycle. But it is supposed to run into a catch pan and be evaporated by the hot air being pulled over it by the small evaporator fan on the bottom of the unit.

If water is not going into the catch pan, and instead is running out of the evaporator down the side of the liner, it will most likely end up on the floor instead of in the catch pan. If this is the case, drain your line could be stopped up with an accumulation of algae. To clean it out, find the drain plug in your freezer and pour a cup of diluted bleach into it. Pour it very slowly, because if the line is completely stopped up, it will not seep out and thus cannot get to the point of blockage.

If the drain is completely blocked, try using a can of compressed air (like is used to blow off computers and such), forming as tight a seal as you can between the air tube and the drain. If this fails, it might be time to call the repairman.

There is one more thing that might give the appearance of water 'leaking' and that is if the condenser fan is not properly pulling air over the drain pan to dry up the water from a self-defrost cycle (which normally occurs every 24 hrs). In this case, cooling will also be severely affected, since insufficient air flow over the condenser coils will make the condenser far less efficient.

Finally, and maybe you shoud try this first if you're sure the drain line is not stopped up: CLEAN THE BOTTOM COILS of dirt and lint accumulation. I can't tell you how many refrigerators I've worked on that needed nothing more than to have the condenser coils in the bottom of the unit cleaned. Restricted air flow over these coils is THE number one cause of refrigerator inefficiency or failure. By a HUGE margin.

I have a maytag MSD2754GR, the freezer bottom is all iced

The drian hole has become stopped up and ice has accumulated in the the drian hole. You will need to unplug the fridge and remove the cover on the back (located at the bottom, 6 screws). On the freezer side there is a drian hole with a rubber 90 and a clear line that runs to the drain pan. Remove line and unstop. Don't not put the line back on yet.

Now for the fun part, remove the basket and the two bottom shelves from the freezer. Half way up the back there are 2 screws that need to be removed. After removing screws pull up on the top cover to so you can remove the bottom cover. The bottom cover maybe froze to the coils and to the inside drain pan. Break the ice with a butter knife, and remove cover ( do not hit the coils). Now you need to break the ice that is froze to the the pan and under it. Once you have remove all the ice you will see the drain hole, use a small pointed object to break ice that is in drain hole. Now you can put the drain line back on and make sure that the other end is in the drain pan under the fridge. Now reassemble the fridge and plug it back up.

It took me about 20 minutes to do this.

Hope this helps.

My dish washer does not drian completly

the water must pump uphill to the air gap. the last water in the line drops down the hose, and is in quantity equally to the volume of the hose from the bottom of the pump to the top of the hose. that flows to the bottom of the sump in the unit. if enough, it appears as residual water in the bottom. its ok.
