Terry H. June 14, 2014 for Model Number MDB6601AWB After the Dishwasher fills and starts the various cycles, a small amount of water drains from the drain line attached to the disposal. As a result, the water level slowly drops until the main pump surges due to low water level. Is this because the pump flapper valve is leaking and/or is worn or corroded? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Terry, Since the pump flapper is designed to prevent water from entering the unit from the waste water, this will not be the issue. It is much more likely that the drain line is not supported to countertop level. Read More...
Kathleen April 26, 2014 for Model Number admiral model DWD1500AWW serial #10177121EX The dishwasher filler with dirty water when I use my garbage disposal or the side of the sink that the hose from the dishwasher is hooked too. I can run the dishwasher to empty the dirty water and that works but it would be nice not to have it fill with it that stuff.. Any ideas what needs to be fixed? Thanks
1 Answer Kathleen, You will want to pull the drain pump on the unit and check to make sure that the flapper is still attached. If the flapper is not attached and is not there then you would want to replace the drain pump. This flapper keeps water from flowing back into the unit. The part number for the drain pump is WP6-917641. Read More...
