greetings,
plenty of places... www.sears.com is one

If you have cleaned the filter sump and you are sure the kitchen side of the drain hose is ok, then I suspect there is some problem in the separation circuit between the wash and drain pumps in the dishwasher.

See this diagram.
The turbidity sensor (item 321) could be faulty. This is supposed to check wash water quality and drain it out and bring in fresh water during wash cycle. The other possibility is the flapper valve (item 328) is not working properly. This valve is supposed to separate the drain and wash sides of the dishwasher.

First thing to do is buy a dishwasher cleaning kit (Finish brand if you can) from the supermarket and run empty dishwasher with it according to instructions on the kit. Use the hottest cycle available.

If this does not affect the quality of wash, then start checking the parts I mention above.

Hope this helps.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Rate/Vote on my response, thanks and good luck

How old is it? Some times deposits get clogged in the plastic water lines after a while. See it you cann disconnect them and have a bucket to catch the water. If it flows freely then yes the water pump could be out but also could be a broken belt drive or needs adjustment. Reply back if this doesn't work and I will research it more.
