I checked and cleaned everything on the inside of the unit as well as checking the water temp. (was at 120) Also checked water inlet valve and it was 1056 ohms. I ran the unit through many times and get the exact same results. Dirty dishes and the soap from the container is not even half gone. My water level once filled seems low. Mine is about half way up from bottom to the heating coil. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Don
Seems like the pump is not pumping water in well or out , it could be clogged or waring out
Over a period of time debris and grease can collet on the inderside of the float that controls the water level. When this happen, the water level will be too low and the unit will not wash correctly. The float needs to then be removed and cleaned so that it will allow the water to fill to the proper level in the tank.

clean out the filter in the floor in the back.
SOURCE: Dishwasher fills partially, stops, and then heating element comes on.
the problem would be on the pressure switch or inlet valve
SOURCE: GE Natulus will not fill with water
Had the same problem with ours today. That's why I got on here. My dad used a gallon jug to prime it with a gallon of hot tap water. We primed it to get it pumping, and now it is working fine. Just pour the hot water into the dishwasher and start it.

Your description sounds like the water pump is wearing out. Call the repairman.

I have the same dishwasher and kept having soap still in the dispenser at the end of the wash. Someone mentioned this, but what was happening is that the soap dispenser lid was blocked from fully opening by the top rack. You also typically have large pans in this area, so the water spray is blocked from getting under the half open lid well. I started opening the dishwasher after I heard the dispenser latch release, so the lid could fully open. After that, I had no problem with soap still in the dispenser. I started setting a timer to open and shut the dishwasher door about 20 minutes into the wash process (after the latch had released for the 2nd wash cycle), so the soap dispenser lid would be fully open. This was a pain, but it worked. The other thing to be careful of with this dishwasher is to ensure you have pushed the top rack in tight before closing the door. Look at the water connection for the top "spinner" and you will see how the plastic pipe fits up to the supply. If you don't have the rack pushed in tight, you get leakage around the connection and don't get good water spray from the top spinner arms. This can definitely affect the quality of the wash. You mentioned the dispenser lid is open when the cycle is complete, but that is because once you open the door it can fully open.
The clean light should be blinking 7 times, pause, then repaeat if it is doing this -- it is a water heating fault. Use one of the following key dances to clear fault
a) Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal
b)High Temp-Air Dry-High Temp-Air Dry
All the Leds should light up now just press cancel and Unit should operate. If it shuts down again the heater isnt working properly. Some times the door doesnt get shut well and that causes the fault. But the dishes arent very clean if the heater is not working.
