Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Water inlet valve is stuck open, continuously filling the drawer beyond the normal level
  2. Float switch in the drawer sump is not detecting the high water level
  3. Pressure switch or water level sensor has failed, allowing overfilling
  4. Drain hose siphoning water from the sink drain back into the DishDrawer
How to Fix It
1
Immediately turn off the water supply to the DishDrawer
2
Open the drawer and use towels or a small container to remove excess water
3
Check the float switch in the sump for free movement; clear any debris that may be preventing it from rising
4
Test the water inlet valve to confirm it shuts off when power is removed; replace if stuck open
5
Verify the drain hose has a proper high loop to prevent siphoning from the household drain
