Dishwasher

If your built-in dishwasher completes its cycle and yet you see a puddle of dirty water, chances are that your dishes did not get fully cleaned. This is because

the water that was used to initially rinse your dishes did not drain out of your dishwasher and was simply reused to soap and re-rinse your dishes. To check for cause, look under your sink - your dishwasher will have a hose connected to the bottom pipe that also drains your sink. There is a clamp that connects to the pipe.  If the clamp is easy enough to remove, do so and check for debris. Once the debris has been cleared, re-install the clamp and run your dishwasher cycle again.
