is water left in my ninth-series DD60 DishDrawer normal?
a little water beneath the filter can be normal on the covered DD60 ninth-series contemporary DishDrawers. water spread across the tub after a completed cycle is different and needs attention.
model scope: DD60 ninth-series contemporary models covered by the care guide.
check the water's location rather than treating all visible water as a drain-pump failure. confirm that the cycle finished, let the drawer cool and follow its own instructions for accessible filter care. a bent visible drain hose may also restrict drainage; do not pull out the appliance to investigate it.
the linked normal-operation guide explains the expected small retained amount. the separate filter-and-spray-arm guide covers cleaning and correct refitting, with different methods for older and newer plate designs. neither is permission to remove the rotor or dismantle the drain system.
if water covers the tub, keep the drawer out of use and arrange service. stop also for leaks, grinding or overheating. do not repeatedly run washes to see whether excess water disappears.
