Dishwasher does not drain completely; a small pool of dirty water remains at the bottom after the cycle.

Safety first: Turn off the power before removing filters or hoses.

• Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly and sump area.
• Check drain hose: Ensure the drain hose has a proper high loop and is not kinked. Disconnect it from the sink drain and flush with water to clear partial blockages.
• Run a drain-only cycle: Use the cancel/drain function to see if the water is fully removed. If not, the drain pump may be weak and require replacement.

A very small amount of clean water in the sump is normal, but dirty, standing water is not.
