My mother’s Tappan dishwasher will start a clean cycle fill with water till float shuts water off and then it pumps the water out. I have tried to manually cycle the timer with no results. I have also tried to find a schematic to see if I could figure out what was in the circuit.
The drain solenoid was not stuck, it was free. I moved the lever to check to see if it was stuck, but it was free also. It ran fine after I did this. I am now wondering if something could have been lodged in the drain flap!!!
