dishwasher cycles - appears to be normal, however water left standing in botttom of tub. Didn't completly drain. What's up with this?
My dishwasher always retains very dirty water you can see when removing the filter. It doesn't sound normal. Washing quality is sometime good / sometime poor. Model is : SE28A231II

- Yup!
The way the drain line was plumbed to drain was far than perfect. I corrected the problem but:
the water is still there (let say 2/3 cm from the bottom; see attached pic).
Furthermore what sounds very strange to me is how dirty it is! Any additional comment? Thanks

-   my siemens dishwasher doesnt drain all the water out. I have economy seven electricity so i put the dishwasher on when I go to bed. In the morning the motor is still running and it sounds as if the water is draining, but there is water in the bottom, as if it has got stuck in the cycle. The first couple of times I lifted the washer and plonked it down again and it carried on draining, but i would have to repeat this to keep the thing draining the water. Last time I did it smoke started coming out of the dishwasher, OOPS. Does anyone think it is fixable, or have I killed it?-   duchess000
How much water are we talking about? If its say less than 2-3 cups, It may be the way it is plumbed to drain. The drain line is back washing a little after everything is finished.

- Well the dirt can be from many factors. How dirty your dishes are, the build up in the drain hose. also the disposal can backwash into it. that is why I asked how it was plumbed. there should be an air gap in-line and/or a check valve at the dishwasher connection.

it seems that my dishwasher has decided to make the programs longer ie the auto button would usually wash for 125 minutes and thats it done, now it has extended to 200 any ideas what it could be, or what i need to do. I have pressed the 2 buttons together which is supposed to reset it, but just goes to 0 and stays there...HELP!
