“My washer works fine and drains after its cycle without any issues. However, a day or two later there is standing water in the machine. Why is water being allowed back in to the machine? I have to run the drain cycle everyday to ensure it remains dry.”

Hi there - Thanks for reaching out about this! It's not uncommon to have a small amount of water at the bottom of the wash basket after a load is complete. The amount of water is typically a 1/2 cup of water or less, and is considered normal. This will occur when water becomes trapped in the fill nozzle (fill tube) at the top of the wash basket after the water shuts off after filling. Often the nozzle doesn't immediately drain all of the remaining water, so after some time (even a few hours later), the water tension holding in the water breaks and the last amount of water is released or spurted from the fill nozzle. It's similar to the small spurt or burst of water that sometimes comes out of a bathroom shower head after the water is turned off. If there is more than a 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the tub, service may be required. If needed, you can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-432-2737. We hope this helps! -Mikayla@GEA
