Hello - I have a GE Nautilus dishwasher that isn't draining right. I have checked the motor and it is working (visually see motor spinning) and water is being sprayed out into tub while on. The problem is with draining. An excessive amount of water is sitting in the bottom of the tub at the end of the wash cycle. When I physically hold down the armature/linkage with my finger the tub will drain completely. If I replace the solenoid will that fix the problem? Is it a timer problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

yes - i have turned the timer very slowly trying to catch it at the time where draining should happend but it seems to kick on/off really quick.
and it is fairly loud as it happens

I checked the drain time a couple times with a stop watch on my phone and it is in the 22-26 seconds range. Is that normal drain time? It seems to be draining completely now (no extra water in tub above grating). In the process of diagnosis I have taken apart most of the drain lines and cleaned grating etc. possibly it was clogged and that fixed the problem? If you have any other information please let me know. Thanks!
