Why is there water left in the bottom of my dishwasher? Here are the reasons why from the Grumpy Plumber:
1. dishwasher hose is installed at the bottom of your cabinet, causing sink water to fill your dishwasher
2. an air gap (not recommended) valve is attached to your sink, from the dishwasher hose, and is causing problems. The air gap is clogged or the hose to it is clogged.
3. a check valve is installed on your dishwasher hose and it is stuck open

The simple fix is in the video.
