Kenmore Elite - Flooded bottom

Hi, my dishwasher is flooded on the bottom,
i emptied out the soapy water after a run, checked the filter and it looks fine.

i did another run and its flooded again, it seems not to go higher that the bottom of the door opening, but its still flooded at the bottom?

do you think it may be a clogged line, or some kind of pumping problem?

    no suds, just water, about 2 inches high of used soapy water, like its not filtering out of the washer. How can i make the water go out like it use to?

    the guest comment was me, i didn't realize i wasn't signed in. but i can get the flooded water to drain out, any other suggestions?

    I have the same problem...water will not fully drain and there is a buzing sound during the drain cycle. I check the drain line and vent and they are clear.

    My Necht dishwasher started beeping and the 'E' symbol shows ,the machine also flooded and could not drain,I emptied it by hand , but every time it will start again it just floods again . I have been unfortunate in having all Necht appliances with my kitchen . They are total rubbish ,the flooding problem with the dishwasher is common ,and the aftersales  non existant , reading other comments on the net , I feel the only option is to get rid as soon as I can and not waste any more money on repairs,

Is it full of suds? If so, someone put manual dishwahing detergent in it. Allow to fill and open and add a splash of wesson oil. Run unit. This will knock down suds. Allow to run thru cycle to clean out.

    If this model has a remote drain pump it may be blocked or inoperative. Does the drain hose attach to the main pump underneath in center, or to a small electric motor driven pump?
    If a remote pump, remove pump and check for blockage.

How to clean Kenmore Elite sm 9711174 washing machine

To clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine, you can follow these steps:
1. Clean the exterior of the machine: Wipe down the exterior of the washing machine with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Be sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any water damage.
2. Clean the drum: Mix a solution of 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of water and pour it into the detergent dispenser. Run the machine on the hottest and longest cycle with an extra rinse. This will help to remove any built-up detergent residue or mildew from the drum.
3. Clean the detergent dispenser: Remove the detergent dispenser and soak it in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away any buildup or debris, and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it.
4. Clean the lint filter: The lint filter is located near the bottom of the machine. Remove it and rinse it under running water to remove any lint or debris. If the filter is particularly dirty, soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before rinsing it.
5. Run a cleaning cycle: Some washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle that you can use to help remove any buildup or mildew. Check the user manual for instructions on how to run a cleaning cycle on your specific machine.

By following these steps, you should be able to clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine and keep it running smoothly.

My dish washer flooded and i have have two flashing lights on. slened the filters and took off water supply and re attached still no change.Book says it is on protection from flooding. how do i sort out...

Hi Tony,

I'm going to need some more information from you, so please post back with the following details:

1. Brand/Model of washer
2. You said it "flooded" - was water escaping from the machine? Where? From underneath or from the door area?
3. Is there still water in the bottom of the wash compartment now?
4. You said you cleaned the filters - were they blocked up?

Hope to hear back from you asap. Keep the water supply turned off for the moment.

Regards,
BElectric

Dishes are coated with soapy film after full wash cycle

Hi,

The problem is not your dishwasher but rather the water going into it. Hard water when heated up in a dishwasher dries with calcium and magnesium spots(often looking like a white residue). There is a product out there just for this problem and its called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water going into your dishwasher solving this problem once and for all. It is very affordable(like 70 bucks) and has a money back guarantee. You will not want to return it trust me. after the first load you will be amazed. www.dishwasherfilter.com is where you can get it.

Error code e4 on kenwood kdw12st3a dishwasher too much inlet wate

HI there,
I have had the same problem as most of you. I seem to have fixed it by 
1. Bail out all the water from the inside
2. Remove the filter and 2 x mesh pieces.
3. Continue to bail out the water from the filter well.
4. You will probably find pieces of food or fat/debris in the bottom of the well. Remove these.
5. Tilt back the dishwasher at 45 degrees for 30 mins or so to drain and dry the flood sensor.
6. Boil a kettle and pour it down the well. Immediately put the dish washer on a eco wash (no tablets or anything) with half load (ie half water) and this will ease the water pump. 
7. Let the dishwasher run its cycle. 
8. Clean the filter again and the filter well.

It sounds quite long winded but with a £250 item you need to take care of it. Make sure you rinse most plates before loading in the future. 

Hope this helps!!!
Good Luck!!!

Bosch slimline dishwasher flooded kitchen

Your debris filter needs to be cleaned. It is found under the dry bar in the bottom of the tub. It looks like a plastic mesh and you can usually remove it to wash it out if not use an old toothbrush etc... this should help.

What does F20 mean

Ok, I found 2 solutions for this problem, I tried the first one,and it really seemed to work, but I think I will do the second one too. First, if you have metal flood safe hoses, you need to look for debrisblocking the filter at both ends. I kept checking the screens at thewasher end and not seeing anything, but there was debris located at thewater supply end, stuck in the flood safe device that is in the metalhose. Also, Flood safe hoses say to turn the water on to fullpressure, but sometimes that can activate the flood safe device, soonly turn your water supply on half way. Make sure that the hoses areon right as well, the flood safe device needs to be at the end with thewater supply, not the washer end. You will be able to see the device(it looks like a little sieve) inside the hose.
Another cause of this problem can be the filter IN your washer, itis located in the front just under the front bottom removable panel. If you have a pet in the house, definitely check this out, a lot ofhair gets stuck in that. Just unscrew the front bottom panel, and thenit is right in the middle at the bottom, a cone shaped filter. Get atowel, because there will be water in there, too. Check out this linkwithpictures: http://enginerdandwife.com/2007/03/kenmore-elite-h3-washer-error-code-hf.html

SMEG INTEGRATED DISHWASHER FLOODING

Are you saying it overfilled and flooded out, or did it empty onto the floor?

Water flooding out

Hi KellyW,

 

The dishwasher drain hose may be clogged.  When the dishwashr starts up can you hear the water running into the Sink faucet drain. If not inspect the hose that attaches to the Sink Drain for restrictions.  Also in the bottom of the dishwasher you should have a filter.  If this filter is clogged you cannot expel water.  Clean the filter.
