Default Dishwasher with water in the bottom

"KD" wrote in message

The last couple of cycles, I've noticed that my dishwasher hadn't done as
good a job as usual on a few pieces, but didn't think much of it. Tonight
though, as I'm filling 'er up I happened to notice that there's a bit of
water in the bottom. Just a smidgen, at the lower part of the bottom where
there's a screen, which in theory filters out some of the gunk before it
runs down the pipes.


Could be a glog, could be a weak pump, could be too short a time on the
timer.

Does this suggest a clog? If I run my dishwasher now, will I get a flood?
And if it IS a clog, is this a DIY job or is professional help required?


There is a safety switch to prevent overfilling so you should not get a
flood.
