How to drain internal water tray - Hotpoint 24 in. FDW60 Free-standing Dishwasher

The external water tray is to be used for draining the unit when the internal water tray is full. Position the external water tray under the drain at the bottom rear of the unit then remove the cap and plug and let water fill the tray. This was copied from royal sovereign instructions.

Taking a guess the switch selects an internal air circulation fan on or off. I am slightly guessing but I think when the fan is switched on it only runs for a short time after the door has been opened.

Water is probably there because the internal drain is blocked - the defrost cycle generates a fair amount of water that under normal circumstances would be channeled into a drain where it would be collected in a tray mounted on top of the compressor/motor assembly and the heat would cause it to evaporate.

I have no idea what would cause this, maybe the defrost heater, not sure.

Probably not condensation but run-off water generated by the auto-defrost.
This water should drain through a tube into a tray attached to the motor where heat from the motor operation causes it to evaporate.

Sometimes the drain tube or the tray becomes detached.

If condensation is forming on the outside of your fridge it indicates the internal insulation jacket is failing and repair is impractical and replacement of the fridge is desirable.

here you should see :)

refrigerator have a drain pipe at the back internal that water drains
out in to a tray at the bottom back external to collect the fluid to help
stop ice in the refrigerator. are you sure it not that it may be full or the tray may be missing .
The water normaly just evaporates with the heat from the pump?

If the system is operating is is dehumidifying the air so no water in the bucket is a sign that the drain line is clogged and you need to do that before the internal tray overflows. I have always found a guitar string is the best item for cleaning drain lines.

The drip tray is blocked, open your door, about half way down at the back you can see the drip try, on the Right hand side there is a hole where the water drains, poke a plastic straw down there to clear.

The water comes from the accumulated moisture. Just
clean the drain at the back of the veg tray. Get you veg. tray out so you will find the drain.

AL01 is activated when the dishwasher develops a leak and the internal water tray has filled with water. This activates the pump to drain water from the dishwasher. The tray needs emptying manually however and the source of the leak needs to be traced. Probably best to get an engineer in to do that.
