Why is there water in my new dishwasher?
Dishwashers may contain a little water after testing in factories.
All dishwashers are tested and proofed in the factory where they are manufactured to ensure that they work flawlessly before they go on sale. As a result, there may be traces of water both inside and in the connection hoses as well as connections. The inside of the dishwasher may therefore look used, but this is completely normal and does not affect the machine's function or hygiene.
