dishwasher problem

[Unregistered-cyclinglizard]

Hi, Our dishwasher works through its cycle ok but when its finished there is an amount of water left in the base and because of this it won,t operate again until I syphon this water out. This happens every time we use it.Do you have any ideas? Kind Regards, Neil

** dishwasher works but when its finished there is an amount of water left in the base **

By “in the base”, do you mean in the bottom of the tub *inside the dishwasher* and not *underneath* the dishwasher??

If you post the machine’s brand name and complete model number, we can look up what design of machine you’re dealing with and possibly suggest areas needing examination.

You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances in the ‘Repair Parts’ section of my web site lined below.

Its clogged, or the pump is not working, Dishwashers supply lines come from below and the drain is from above… it is kind of backwards if you think about it but thats the way it is. The drain line usually hooks up to the garbage disposal or to the kitchen drain if you dont have a disposal.
Disconnect it and run the washer, when the drain cycle starts check and see if water is coming out of the drain hose, use a 5 gallon bucket so water does not go alover the place. The other thing you can do that will fix it for sure is throw it away and get a new one. =)
