this particular dishwasher is having problems draining after the rinse cycle. the only way i can get it to full drain after rinse cycle is to let it finish, go back and hit rinse and then start and start again. some times it takes a couple of times for it to clean out.
took it out today and check all the hoses, and clean the drain areas and everything. before i put it back in the cabinet i went ahead and ran a light wash cycle, it drained all out.
put the damn thing back in place and ran the dishes in there and had it filled up with water. help, i dont want a new dishwasher, i have a feeling it should be an easy fix, but where to start???
thanks

Can you explain what you mean you put it back in and it filled up with water, what else did it do, or not do? I will be able to help you, just need all info

meaning that i put it back in to in spot in the cabinet. i pulled it out of the cabinet because it wasn't draining after the rinse cycle. i took the bottom of the hoses and drainage apart and clean and made sure there was nothing in there.
then put that back together, moved it into the kitchen and hooked up all back up before moving it into the cabinet. it worked fine.
moved it back into the cabinet hole and hook it all for the final phase and ran a normal cycle and still had water at the bottom???

Do you have an air gap at the sink, or does the dishwasher drain into the disposer, if an airgap, take the top off and look for a obstruction, if it drains into a disposer, check the disposer opening for a block

air gap has no obstructions. water comes out fine at all cycles except for final rinse

inside to the bottom rear, you will see a fine mesh screen, take that assembly out, held in by four 1/4 inch screws. Now unscrew the round plastic deal that is your piston and nut assembly... AP2617344 when you get it out, look at the rubber mushroom head, when you push up on it, the mushroom head must cover the hole completely, if not you need a new piston and nut assy.

i couldn't remember the website, thanks again for your time of helping out.
i went ahead and pulled out the piston. i pushed the bottom up and poured some water into the top mushroom area and it held the water without leaking. not sure what to check now
the little seal that goes up into the mushroom was a little dirt so i have cleaned that. i am not sure what to do next. i will re install the piston and try the dishwasher and see what happens.
any and all help is appreciated. thanks
