Why is there water left in the bottom of my dishwasher? Here are the reasons why from the Grumpy Plumber:
1. dishwasher hose is installed at the bottom of your cabinet, causing sink water to fill your dishwasher
2. an air gap (not recommended) valve is attached to your sink, from the dishwasher hose, and is causing problems. The air gap is clogged or the hose to it is clogged.
3. a check valve is installed on your dishwasher hose and it is stuck open
The simple fix is in the video.

Please tell your father thank you so much from me! I saw water pooled at the bottom of my dishwasher and immediately panic set in. I have a lot of anxiety. After watching the two videos you shared about this, I had a much better understanding of how this all works, and I realized that water had backed up from my sink. I had previously watched other vids and they said to clean this and that out. Tried it and it was still there. I kept looking for more info and came across your videos. I have the hose he described that goes from the disposal back to the bottom corner of the inside of the cabinet. I set the dishwasher to drain, it did, and it's fine now! No more pool of water! 😁

@michaelwehling5917 3 года назад

Thank you for providing this information. The visuals were very helpful as well as the background of understanding how the system works. Mine is working again for the moment, but couldn't find any clear blockages in the system. Using a shop vac and pulling air from the air gap side I was able to get an airflow between that point and the elbow that joins to the pump/impeller. I couldn't get one going the other way so I'm thinking there is a check valve somewhere in between that is out of sight short of pulling the whole machine out of the cabinetry. Eventually, the airflow produced a high pitch whistle so I'm hoping that means some obstruction came clear. Running the drain cycle with clean water it emptied the reservoir down to nearly empty in the bottom of the machine below the sensor so I'm thinking it may reserve a small amount of water to keep the impeller primed. Thanks again for sharing a lifetime's worth of professional experience.

@tubetop36 3 года назад

Hello Jim, the hose elevation advice was just what I needed. Thank you!! But I have 2 quick questions: (1) now that the water has been bailed and absorbed completely out of the bottom of the dishwasher - do I need to sanitize or disinfect the dishwasher parts before running another load of dishes?... and (2) does the standing water from the garbage disposal remain because the drain for the dishwasher only opens at the end of the washing cycle, and then closes again?? Thanks again!!

@TheGrumpyPlumber 3 года назад

Hi tubetop36, quick answers: 1. Put dishwasher soap in and run it empty. That should probably sanitize it. 2. When you turn on the dishwasher, it starts the cycle by pumping out the remaining water from the previous cycle. If the drain is looped above the garbage disposal, you shouldn’t have any water draining into the dishwasher. Glad you benefited from my advice. Here to help!

I have a thick black hose coming from my dishwasher going to my garbage disposal. I'm far from a plumber but logic tells me that this is the hose that is meant to withstand heat from the hot water. I suspect my clog is in this hose. There's a separate clear skinny hose that leads to the air gap.

@Otterbear90 3 месяца назад

I have a Frigidaire dishwasher and standing water at the bottom. When trying to drain, it hums but doesn’t drain the water. I disconnected the drain hose from the garbage disposal underneath and ran the drain cycle and nothing was coming out. I tried to get whatever gunk I could out of there but I think the motor started smoking so I gave up. Do you think it’d be worth trying to replace the pump and motor assembly?

I have a brand new Bosch dishwasher that I hardly use. When I was looking under my sink, I noticed that the drain line going into the disposal from the Bosch had water in it. The water is nice and clean. The drain reservoir is empty and the filters are nice and clean… the dishwasher is effectively brand new. Less than one year old. I reset the cycle and then manually did a rinse and drain cycle… I was able to see the water being flushed through the hose since it’s a clear hose. After the cycle, there was still water left in the line. Is this normal? And if not, what should I look for? There are no error codes in the dishwasher is great at washing the dishes… No performance problems. Justice water sitting in that hose that’s bugging me.

What if I was to remove the dishwasher, and I unplugged the holes that runs from disposal to the dishwasher. Now I have the hole from the disposal and I currently have water leaking from it. What should I do? Do you think I need a new disposal?

@TheGrumpyPlumber Год назад

@reginalomeli7447, if I’m understanding you correctly, you removed the dishwasher but you didn’t plug the hole where the dishwasher drain connects to the garbage disposal. If you bought a new garbage disposal, the hole is already plugged at the drain. If you can reuse the old garbage disposal, buy a dishwasher connection which is a rubber hose which is tapered three times and comes with clamps. Then buy a Pex plug 1/2” or 3/4” and insert in rubber hose and clamp it down. If the garbage disposal connection is broken, then you need a new garbage disposal.

@andrewgill1645 Год назад

My E24 code popped up right after replacing the disposal under my sink. Long story short, there’s a knockout plug on the disposal where the drain hose goes into from the dishwasher. Make sure you remove that when replacing the disposal or you’ll get that code.

@dipikadhaduk7170 2 года назад

Hi! I hope someone can help me 🙏 Where can I find the check valve to place between the garage disposal and drain pipe #3? I found the quiet check valve shown as an example but it was only for a sump pump which is to big. Thank you in advance!

@TheGrumpyPlumber 2 года назад

Dipika Dhaduk, you don’t need a check valve. It sounds like when you use the garbage disposal the water backs up into the sink. What you need is what we call a baffle tee. When connecting two or more sinks where you bring them together you need a baffle tee. When you buy a kitchen sink waste kit, the tee has a baffle on the inside that directs the waste water downward. When you tie the disposal drain to the other sink, you put a baffle tee in the vertical position. It’s about a $5 item. You should be able to find one at a hardware store or big box store. I hope you understand this. There is no check valve for a kitchen sink drain.

@TheGrumpyPlumber 2 года назад

Ernie Bruss, could you hook up the drain hose to the kitchen sink drain? If you can, bring the hose through the lowest point of the side wall of the kitchen cabinet and extend it up to the bottom of the countertop and then down into the garbage disposal inlet or a branch tailpiece. The way you have the drain hooked up now, I recommend you put a 3/4” swing check before you dump it into the drain line in the basement. However, I rather have you do it the first way I told you.

Is it possible there’s a check valve in the hose at the pump outlet. That was my problem” kitchen aid” in the videos the check valve was not mentioned, I never knew it was there until I removed the hose, small chicken bone keeping the valve open. I had the loop under the cabinet and I don’t have a garbage disposal. Not allowed in my city 😌

@TheGrumpyPlumber 7 месяцев назад

I’m not a repair man for dishwashers but as far as I know there is not a check valve on the dishwasher. Rinsing your dishes well before you put them in the dishwasher will save you a lot of grief later. I know they tell you there is a disposal in the dishwasher, but it’s not very good. Don’t believe what you see on TV.

@CRQF 7 месяцев назад

Every dishwasher I have researched has a Check valve somewhere in the drain line to prevent water from flowing back into the dishwasher, the standing water in the drain hose after the cycle is finished I mean. I’m my case it’s in the hose replaced hose problem fixed. Some dishwashers it is easy to replace the check valve others are harder and more expensive as is mine.

@wcaboutre355 4 месяца назад

@TheGrumpyPlumber 3 года назад

As long as the hose is 6-8 inches above the garbage disposal, you shouldn’t get any water back. When the hose is low, the water in the sink will push it into the dishwasher. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.

Jonathan, if water is leaking from the bottom of the disposal, it probably is coming through the motor. Time to replace it. The water in the dishwasher could be caused from the drain hose. Check and see if the hose runs above the inlet to the garbage disposal. You want the drain hose above the inlet. Or, you could have a plugged air gap.

@TheGrumpyPlumber Год назад

J R, is the drain hose higher than the outlet of the garbage disposal? You want the drain hose hooked to the bottom of the countertop. Your dishwasher could have a bad solenoid valve that is not closing completely. That is the valve that controls the water coming into the dishwasher.

A new dishwasher probably comes with a built in air gap or the manufacturer put a loop in the drain hose so the water can’t get back into the dishwasher.

@TheGrumpyPlumber Год назад

It sounds like your sink drain needs to be cleaned so it can get rid of the water from the dishwasher. The water can flow very well out of a dishwasher if it’s working correctly. If it’s a two compartment sink, the drain from the disposal to the other sink drain should have a baffle tee where the two drains are connected.
