dishwasher draining

[deepot]

I have a candy 254 dishwasher it works ok but when it comes to draining it doesnt drain all the water
it seems as if there is a lot of water where you put the salt and leaves water in the bottom of the dishwasher to

The salt container is meant to be full of water.
There will also be water left under the filter inside the machine.
This is to prevent smells coming back from the drains, same way as the trap under a sink works.

thankyou for your reply but I also have water in the machine all on the bottom about an inch or two inches of water it does not drain away properly and have to get a dishcloth to get rid of the access water I have stopped using it because of this
I do not know what is the reason for this problem thankyou

Blockage in the drain hose or a faulty drain pump.

Are these drain pumps easy to instal and buy?

Easy to buy, not so easy to install unfortunately. Fair bit of dismantling to do to get at the pump. If you're going to try it yourself just follow the drain hose back into the machine and you'll find it attached to the pump.
