Common Electrolux Dishwasher Problems

- 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?
