Summary
Diagnosing a dishwasher drainage issue in New Lynn required a focused assessment of standing water, a musty smell and extended cycle times. The customer reported water sitting in the bottom between washes and that a 30-minute cycle was taking over an hour, so the job focused on identifying blockages or failing components contributing to poor drainage and odour. The job received 2 offers and the selected offer was $120. The appliance technician attended to carry out the agreed assessment and troubleshooting for the dishwasher drainage issue in New Lynn, Auckland. Work involved checking and cleaning the drain filter and sump, inspecting the drain pump area, and examining the drain hose and waste connection before testing a full cycle. The customer left a 5/5 rating and wrote: "Thank you for your work and advice, the appliance technician. Just one less star for timing π All the best and hope to work again soon."

Dishwasher seems to be running fine, but it isnβt completely draining at the end of the cycle, so there is some water sitting in the bottom between washes. This has started to create a bit of a musty smell.
