Nope, time for a new one

A new pump and a new timer in a 9 year old dishwasher is not what you would call a smart investment. Would you agree? I want to thank you for all your help it is deeply appreciated.

Yes, it's a float switch in the left corner...A stuck solenoid will cause a drain and wash at the same time. So you can manually move the timer around and see the solenoid engage and disengage, if that is the case, you may have a bad flapper seal in the pump causing it to drain and wash at the same time which would require the pump to be replaced.

The drain solenoid seems to be functioning at least I can see it cycle with maybe a 3/8" move.

With a stuck drain solenoid is the pump moving water out the drain and into the spray head at the same time when it should be doing one or the other. Resulting in low pressure on the spray head.

It seems to hold maybe a 1/2" of water at most. Water has come in enough to raise the sprayer somewhat. Is the device in the front left corner a float switch? It seems to be draining and filling at the same time.

If it's draining when filling, do this. Take off the kickplate at the bottom. To the left of the motor is the drain solenoid, is it melted and stuck in the down position?

You need to figure out if it is draining while it's filling or is it just not filling?

I don't hear it filling and it seems like it is pumping it out.
|
|
|
Can you hear it filling with water when you start it?
