After bleach, draining and hating my dishwasher, I have a fix! It was a really simple fix, the drain hose that goes into the disposal (or drain) has to be higher at some point than the disposal. There is a siphon effect when it's lower and pulls water from the drain. I raised it up and hooked it up to the bottom of the cabinet with a piece of coat hanger and it's not smelled or had water in it since.

Hope it works as well for others as it did for me. Ten minutes and a wire coat hanger beats a house call.

The problem though is that once the cycle is done there is water at the bottom of the tub (at least a good inch of it), it's dirty and doesn't smell too pleasant either.

The first time it happened we cupped all the water out and ran a light cycle again. If we stopped the cycle in the middle the water would drain (except there was still water underneath the self cleaning filter) but it at least would not gather. However, if we let the cycle run all the way through the dry cycle the water would accumulate there.

We do not have a food waste disposer and I have no idea where the knockout plug to look for is. We've taken it apart and cannot find where a clog maybe, and when I empty a sink full of water it drains a little slow but nothing too noticeable.

Any tips?

Give ol Charlie a break, he was probably just having a bad day or maybe just over compensating for other inadequacies in his life.

Yeah, you're right....."Dual Inadequcies Disorder"!! LOL

short term solution--just run the rinse only cycle--water is not in bottom afterwards, but still colelcts in bottom on normal wash cycles.

I thought the end-of-cycle water is there to prevent the seals from drying out.

Charlie should check out YouTube for unfriendliness, where posters argue over what woman sings better than what other woman. They pretty much all sound good to me.
