Common Electrolux Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not drying. Electrolux says to check and refill the rinse aid, raise the rinse aid setting, and skip the Air Dry option if items are coming out wet. Source: Electrolux - Dishwasher Rinse Aid Guide
- 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

Getting Ready for the Repair
- The brand, model and serial number from the label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub opening
- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain
- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, leaks, dirty or wet dishes)
