Dishwasher has water in bottom,is this normal?

Hi Elizabeth
have had a dishwasher for many years and have found this to be a normal practice .... Hope this puts your mind at rest ????

IF THE WATER IN PORTABLE DISHWASHER AT THE BOTTOM IS MORE THAN THE DRAIN HOSE FULL OF WATER THEN ASK WARRANTY PEOPLE. WHEN PUMPING WATER UP IT CAN ONLY PUMP SO MUCH WATER OUT OF HOSE BEFORE THE WATER DRAINS BACK INTO DISHWASHER.-- HOPE THIS HELPS

This is because you have a problem with the diswasher pump and/or pump motor. There should NO water standing at end of cycle.

it is normal for water to be in the bottom of a dishwasher- it forms an air seal to stop odours

If the water is clean and only about an inch deep or less, this is normal and almost every dishwasher keeps some water in the bottom to prevent the seals / gaskets from drying out.

If the water is not clean and there is an odor, please report back here and we can take the next step. Is so, please note approximately how full of left over water the dishwasher is. OK?

Most dishwashers leave a small amount of water in the bottom to keep the seals lubricated. If it is only a small amount of water it should be normal.

A small amount of water may be normal.  Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub.  Sprinkle some baking soda inside between washes.

Test by restarting the cycle and see if water drains if it does not then there is either a blockege in the pipe ,pump,or in the machine where the water passes out normally through a filter if you have checked and cleaned out filter and drain pipe and there is still no draining then listen to the pump if you can hear a humming niose then there is something in the pump itself and you need to take it out and inspect the impelar houseing remove what ever is there put back and enjoy if there is no noise and pump is clean then it is proberly fualty and nedd replaceing.

The manual says that's normal: "A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated."

Water in the bottom under the metal gride are absolutely normal. This water will be drained out at the beginning of the next cycle.
