The drain solenoid is staying activated through all cycles. I replaced the pump/motor assembly, the solenoid with a known good one, also the timer. What else could possibly cause this?

Have you replaced the timer with a new one or you just think it’s good?
Gene.
didnt use a new one just one i think is good
Most likely the problem is a bad timer. You have to replace it the new part.
- The part number for the timer is AP2039699

I put in a new timer and am still having the same problem. is there anything else you can think of? I have checked everything I can think of. thanks, Keith
Remove the toe panel and check how the power cord is connected to the dishwasher. Very likely there is a reversed polarity: the neutral from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher hot and the hot from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher neutral.

I moved the dishwasher from one room to the other and wired it up myself. also it did the same thing in both rooms.
I do not see what else could cause it. Maybe somebody else on the forum can find the solution.

If I understand your comments, apparently the drain solenoid stays on all the time, independent of timer settings. If so, look for a shorted wire near the timer. You probably will need a meter to check where the shorted wire is.
Has this unit ever worked properly?
The reason I ask is often people buy or are given a unit and someone has gone in and messed up the wiring.
Do you have a wiring diagram?
If yes could you scan it and add it to a post?
Disconnect the timer, now is it activated?
Yes unit was working, I had to replace the pump/motor assembly because it was leaking. The problem occured after that. I will look for the wiring diagram.
Was there any wiring that you could have messed up when reconnecting the unit or was it all one way plugs?
Also I might try disconnecting the unit from ground (green wire) just as a test. It may give a clue to what is going on.
Hard to do, check to see if you swapped the motor connector with the solenoid connector.
