Standing water in the bottom

The dishwasher in our rental house has collected a large pool of soapy water in the bottom. I have tried to remove the pieces, hoping that the water will drain. But no luck so far. I can't see anything because the water is cloudy, and now I have a bunch of pieces removed and lots of standing water. What do I do?

Try starting any program - all start with drain. if it doesnt drain, suspect a foreign object in the drain pump

Water collecting at the bottom of dishwasher, used it for the first time and there is a big pool of water at the bottom of the dishwasher when i open up the drawer
Your drain might be plugged. Check the bottom drain. If the water has no where to go, it will fill the bottom up. There might be a cap since it is new. It has to have a place to drain.

I have a Bosch Clasixx dishwasher, it is around 6 or 7 years old. We have had no trouble until now. When we press any programme the usual noise from within begins, but it will not fill with water. We have...
The float switch might be tripping. Pull the dishwasher out (if it's under-counter) and tilt it forward gradually to about 20 degrees. If you see a pool of water on the floor, it means that water is getting into the bottom of the dishwasher underneath the washing compartment.

This can simply be caused by a loose retaining nut on the salt compartment. Unscrew the cap from the salt compartment and you will see a large plastic nut underneath. If it's loose, tighten it - you'll need a large pair of waterpump pliers or stilson for this.

Assuming this was the problem, make sure you empty all the water from the bottom before you put it back by tilting it forwards until water stops coming out.

To stop the problem returning, DON'T over-tighten the cap on the salt compartment. Make sure it's on firmly, but if you overtighten it, it will grip the nut and loosen it the next time you remove the salt cap. If the nut is loose, water can get into the bottom of the washer.

Have a rental property with F&P two draw dishwasher aprox five years old. Apparently bottom draw is holding water - what do you think?
Could be many reasons for the bottom drawer to hold water.

It could be leaky top drawer causing water to collect in the bottom drawer. Check if water collects when top drawer is running.

It could be blockage in the bottom drawer drainage which can be fixed by cleaning the filter plate and the drain sump. If the drain pump is not running during drain cycle then you will have to replace the drain pump motor.

Someone put dish soap in your machine. Put some ... SOME ... salt in your machine and run it empty - turn off the heaters for this cycle.

If you are CERTAIN THIS IS NOT THE CASE, maybe you should call the repair guy in your area.

FDW60 has standing water in the bottom and will not fill up
You most likely have a stubborn clog in your kitchen drain. Try filling the sinks with warm soapy water and then letting the water drain while also turning on your garbage disposal. Sometimes the extra water pressure will help push the clog through.

Soapy water standing in bottom not rinsing soap off dishes
It sounds as if it is not draining. Try to trace the drain line under the sink. Usually it goes into a disposall. The port where it connects to the disposall may be clogged. Another thought. If you had the disposall replaced recently they may not have taken the knock out plug out which would give the drain water no where to go.

Hi there

I have had this problem before. If your dishwasher is not level water collects at the front. Try tilting your machine forwards. Be carefull though as water will come out of the bottom. Once you have done this and reset your machine it should be ok.

Most dishwashers have a little filter basket in the bottom. Depending on the brand, you can slide out the bottom rack, and in the bottom underneath the sprayer (the propeller thing) there should be some sort of basket that can be removed and cleaned. You also may have some water quality issues, or some detergents will leave residue. Also, make sure most of the large food is removed before loading.
