Does your dishwasher drain hose have any standing water in it?
My old dishwasher went out so I decided to replace it with a Bosch 500 series.
I got it installed and used a high loop setup for the drain line. I noticed after a cycle there is water in the drain hose on the back side of the high loop, from the top of the loop back to the dishwasher. There is no water in the drain hose from the sink wye connection to the top of the drain hose loop.
I have the minimum of 33" rise on the loop suggested in the manual. Standard length drain hose that came with the new unit, no extensions. Drain hose is not kinked. Sink drain lines are clear with no plugs or restrictions.
I took the drain hose off and held into a bucket at the end of a rinse cycle and it seems to drain strong, but still leaves water on the back side of the high loop.
Water does not stand in the bottom of the tub after a cycle. I checked the filter and the pump impeller, although there was standing water in the pump area under the filter.
So I called customer service over the weekend, someone in NC answered right away and said that water in the drain hose does not sound right, but a little water in the pump area is correct and lubricates the drain pump. Said to call cs back during the week and talk to an install tech.
It seems to operate fine other than leaving some water in the drain hose, which I never noticed on older dishwashers.
Update: looks like everything is normal and good to go
