How Electrolux Dishwashers Are Built
Some built-in installs use a countertop drain air gap, which is a separate plumbing part and has its own filter to clean. Source: Electrolux - Dishwasher Glass Trap and Filter Guide
The drain hose should be held at least 32 inches above the floor and then run down to the drain connection so the unit drains completely. Source: Electrolux - Dishwasher Drain Hose Guide
Common Electrolux Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher odor. Electrolux says to run a rinse-only cycle if the dishwasher won't be run soon and to make sure it is draining properly. Source: Electrolux - Why does my dishwasher have an odor and how do I fix it?
- Water left in dishwasher. Electrolux says a little standing water is normal, but water above the filter screen means checking the drain for debris, running the disposer, and removing a new disposer's knockout plug. Source: Electrolux - Why is water in the dishwasher after it runs?
