Hi,

I have just replaced a faulty drain pump on my Zanussi DW908 dishwasher. I have run through serveral test cycles and the machine does now pump out. I replaced it with what looks to be an identical pump, although the website I purchased from described it as a washing machine drain pump, but other web sites led me to believe these pumps are generally universal.

My query is, when I lift the plasitic grill out from the bottom to access the sump area, there is always approximately 1cm - 1.5cm of water still present. Is this normal? Of course when the machine was operating normally I never checked, so don't know if it is normal or not!

All pipes seem clear with no obstructions.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

thanks for the prompt response. Mind at ease now, along with the Wife's :-)

all dishwashers and washing machines leave up to two pints of clean water in the sump,
