Dishwasher Repair

Recently bought home with this dishwasher. Initially it really left a lot of residue on dishes so ran it once with just soap and no dishes then twice with just water. No drainage issues whatsoever.
Ran it last night with dishes, Jet dry and dish washing soap and it leaked suds and water all over the floor. ?????

You said "dish washing soap".
I hope you do not mean the soap you use when you wash dishes by hand.
This cannot be used in a dishwasher as it creates suds and the pump cannot pump bubbles.

A fairly common oops is people putting dish wash soap into the rinse aid dispenser. If this is the case you will have to remove the dispenser from the unit and flush it out till all the soap is gone.

It does not take much dish wash soap to mess up a dishwasher.
