Nicknars for Model Number WDT780SAEM1 Hello, I recently bought a house and after living here a little while we noticed a bad smell coming from dishwasher. Pulled dishwasher out , and checked hoses, and sink and all was good. Smell goes away after washing but will return in about three days. I monitored it after a wash and discovered. Filter area. Is filling with water and turning nasty. This has the symptoms of a check valve not working, but does this unit have a check? Any info would be swell, thanks
Answer Nicknars, Thanks for your question and based on the information provided you may need a high loop in your drain. A high loop prevents wastewater back-flowing from your sink to your dishwasher. If the drain hose is not elevated, there is a potential for water to run the wrong way through your drain hose and can cause standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher. The high loop also protects mild cases of back siphoning due to increasing the hydrostatic pressure that the water needs to overcome to get over the loop. Read More...
