1/4 Inch of Water Left in Dishwasher

Aug 23, 2006 2 Replies

I just noticed that there is about 1/4 inch of water left in the bottom of our dishwasher after the drain cycles - any reason for that? Anything I can do to get it to pump completely? Any reason to worry about it?



thx - jim


Not sure if this is generally the case, but when I had my dishwasher repaired I asked the repair guy this very question, and he said that a small amount of water is left deliberately to keep the rubber parts (seals, etc.) from drying out.
