My dishwasher won't drain completely. I started at the disposal, checked for obstructions...found none. While the drain hose was detached I ran the drain pump and the water flowed out just fine. The pump doesn't pull ALL of the water out. Does my dishwasher think that it's empty when it's not? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. No, Your dishwasher cannot determine if your tub is completely empty. Once the drain cycle has ended, there may be as much as 1/4 inch of water left in the center of the pump,below the spray arm,and a small amount of water may remain around the black gasket that seals the pump assembly to the tub, this is normal. Is there more water than that ? If so, there may be a problem with the drain pump,or the drain flapper. Please varify the water level that remains after the drain cycle and let us know. Thanks :)

Thanks :) YES, there is more water than that. The water level comes all the way to the bottom edge. It used to leave just a tiny puddle.

Are you sure the drain hose is not clogged ? Check the drain inlet at the garbage disposal and the disposal for clogs. and the mesh filter, under the horse shoe shaped pump cover for debris and clogs. You may have to remove the accumulator and check that as well, if you have to go that far, then remove the drain flapper assembly(red plastic ring at 2:00 o'clock position) and check for warped, missing, damaged,flapper(s)they should be flexible and straight.
