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?
