Water above the normal sump after a programme deserves a different enquiry from a small amount below the filter. Visible standing water can accompany a drainage restriction or an interrupted sequence.
A blocked route, waste connection or pumping fault can produce similar results. The stage and final warning help an engineer decide which checks are relevant rather than assuming the pump must be replaced.
A recently changed sink trap or disposal connection matters. Tell us whether the sink also drains slowly and where the water level sits. Avoid opening the appliance base or disconnecting pipework to obtain evidence.
Clean wet dishes and dirty dry dishes suggest different lines of enquiry. Combining them as not working hides a useful distinction.
