:
Not cleaning sump filters.…
Customers often don’t know they exist.
Smelly dishwashers….
Often occurs from filters not being cleaned, drain hose high loops
missing or drain gases being present. If all else is OK, then problem can be preservative not purged
from tank door gasket.
Doors leaking or not latching….
Usually an installation issue (dishwasher brackets
installed before dishwashers are leveled front to back, tanks & doors out of square, wooden doors
not drilled accurately). Can be blockage in condensation tubes or having condensation tubes
connected to drain hose air gaps.
Inner door damage.…
From upper rack during improper shipping and handling
(dishwashers clamped on wrong sides or dropped).

Toe kick installation issue.
Junction boxes.…
Comes from wires not being connected correctly during installation.
Dispensers.…
Customers using too much detergent, not using rinse-aid & not knowing how to
close the door.
Drain hoses not installed properly.…
Often no air gap or high loop + pinched hoses --
causes poor draining & smelly dishwashers. Most drain pumps are mistakenly replaced for drain

Primarily from fittings being overtightened. A damaged valve
can allow some water onto kitchen floors.
