Water left in bottom of
dishwasher
Dishwasher cycle not completed Allow dishwasher to complete cycle.
Some remaining water is normal and
keeps seals from drying.
Clogged drain air gap Some plumbing codes require use of a
drain air gap between an
undercounter dishwasher and the
drain system of the house. The air
gap is usually located above the sink
or on the top of the counter near the
dishwasher to prevent the possibility
of water backing up from the drain
into the dishwasher due to a plugged
drain. The drain air gap is NOT a part
of the dishwasher and is NOT covered
by the dishwasher warranty. The
drain air gap should be kept clean to
ensure proper draining of the
dishwasher.
