• A:Answer In the directs there is a drain button or option. If that doesnt work and you have a garbage disposal, there might be a plug or value that would need tk be removed for the dishwasher to properly drain. We had a similar issue and it was the garbage disposal plug that prevented the dishwasher from draining.

Q: Questionwhat does dBa mean?

Asked 3 years ago by montana.

• A:Answer It’s related to decibels (dB), which measures noise level. According to the government of Quebec, Canada, “Noise level is measured in decibels (dB). The louder the noise, the higher the decibels. Decibels can be adjusted to human hearing. Noise level is thus described in decibels A (dBA). The effects of noise vary with the noise to which a person is exposed. Prolonged exposure to loud noises (75 dBA over eight hours a day for years) can lead to hearing loss. The body can also respond to lower noise levels: sleep can be disturbed by an outdoor noise of 40 dBA.”
