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?
- Dishwasher leaking. Electrolux says to check first that the drain hose is installed correctly and unblocked and that the door closes fully, since the kick plate can keep it from shutting. Source: Electrolux - Dishwasher - Water Leaking
