Not Draining

A dishwasher left full of water can be very frustrating. It must be addressed immediately before the dirty water begins to smell.  Drainage issues can be minimized by reducing food and debris, that is being put in the dishwasher. This will create blockages and can obstruct the drain pump. 

In some cases, if your finding water left in your dishwasher, it may not even be a drainage failure at all. The water found in your dishwasher, when you’re not using it, may actually be backflow from your sink. A faulty check valve can be responsible for this, but it is also important to insure your dishwasher is installed properly. It is important to always secure the drain hose higher than the sink. This will prevent the water from sink from running down into your dishwasher.

Smells

Smells are mostly associated with food and water being left in your dishwasher. This is easily avoidable by keeping the unit clean and using it regularly. Food matter builds up in hard to reach places, and will begin to rot and smell. This can be mitigated by rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. It is also important to run your dishwasher on a regular basis and keep it clean. OUR RECOMMENDATION:  Glisten DM06N Dishwasher Magic Liquid, 6-Pack, 6 Count   This will help cycle out stagnant water and rotting food matter left sitting in the dishwasher. 

Making a Grinding Sound

If your dishwasher is making a grinding or groaning noise, that is louder than usual, you may be need of service. Dishwashers only have a few moving parts that can create noises. Therefore, these noises often indicate a problem with a pump. Sometimes, it may be as simple as removing a foreign object from the impeller.  However, in many cases, you may be in need of a pump replacement.
