Solution

Drain Hose

  • Correct drain hose installation will improve wash performance and will also reduce odor issues that can occur from the remaining food soils left in the sump due to improper draining.
  • Always make certain that the drain hose is kept at a min. height of 32” from the floor and when connecting to the drain, ensure that the drain hose is fed down to the drain location and not up. This will encourage a complete drain and prevent future issues.

Note: If a disposer is installed, verify that the drain plug on the disposer has been removed to allow the dishwasher to properly drain.
