As an example, dishwashers almost always retain a certain amount of water in the sump to insure that the pump and seals remain lubricated with water.

I’m told the water is left in the outer tub to keep the hose connections moist

ello, We just bought a new MAYTAG washing machine. After we ran it through a full cycle (with no clothes), I opened the top lid and moved the center agitator --and I heard the sloshing of water beneath the stainless steel tub. Do all washing machines leave standing water in the bottom beneath the tub??!! Shouldn't this drain out? Thanks
