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?
- 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

- The brand, model and serial number from the label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub opening
