Is there a way to unclog a dishwasher before calling in a plumber?
Used water collects on the bottom of my washer, sometimes a couple of inches! Gets to smell bad, too. I do my best to remove it before the next load and have tried baking soda/vinegar with only a little success. HELP!
Another problem my be a problematic solenoid, this is the electrically controlled "valve" that opens and closes during certain phases of the machines cycle. If that is toast it is repair man ...»
to confirm a clog "in" the machine...remove the drain hose from the bottom of the unit and from where ever it drains too...flush this out to make sure it is not in this hose...these are normally very clog free despite their corrugated nature...the pump provides some decent flow...and most clog are always upstream of the pump.
If the connection is incorrect to the drain also can cause this to occur. Is the dishwasher connected to the drain pipe where it leaves the sink, but before the U trap? If it is incorrectly piped that will cause this issue as well.
