Hi,

What is the model number of the dishwasher?

If there is no standing water at the end of the final cycle but it appears later on then there may be a problem with the water inlet solenoid valve not shutting off fully and water is slowly leaking into the machine.

To check if this may be the problem, at the end of a complete wash cycle check that there is no standing water at the bottom and try turning off the water supply to the dishwasher. After a suitable time has elapsed see if there is water standing in the bottom of the machine or not.

If there is water in the machine after turning the water supply off, it may be siphoning back through the drain hose. Check that the drain hose has a high loop to the drain outlet or that the air gap fitting is OK if one is fitted.

You haven't said where you isolated the problem to, but if parts are required for the machine, here's a link to just one supplier that may help.

It is only shown to give you an idea of where they're located in the machine and their cost.

There are other suppliers online that may suit you better.

Just search for "DU960PWKQ1 parts" to get results.
