-   same problem---have tried scooping out water from the bottom---nothing seems to be in the dishwasher drain. cleaned out the air trap today and ran the dishwasher multiple times.....hoping whatever may have be a clog is wahsed out. the smell is sickening. i use gel tabs and wonder if these don't disintegrate??? the top rack always slides out even though legs have been adjusted. this is VERY annoying and jostles dishes. may just have to get a technician here, but am afraid it will work when they are here and not when they leave.

-   Our Viking runs really well but doesn't seem to drain all of the water. It clearly drains some. I have cleaned the bottom drain and that doesn't appear to be the issue. I hate to call a service person just to find out it was something I could resolve on my own.

-   I noticed water sitting in the drain hole on the floor. Dont hear the excess water being drained into the disposal at the start of a new cycle.-this is not a sanitary way to start a cycle. We practically put clean items into the dishwasher so there is no overload of biomass. have noticed the pot light blinking as well as the one next to it.a few times.The whole dishwasher has been a dissapointment. It is nearly always smelly it even imparts stink onto the dishes. If not run for a couple of days (with nearly clean dishes in it) the small is sickening. My past dishwashers were Whirlpool and never a stink problem like this.-   bboyd3
