How Electrolux Dishwashers Are Built
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
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
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- 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
- 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?
