You might have a problem with the water pump

It sounds like you have a build up of debris in the bottom where the drain is. You can take apart the bottom and clear out all of the accumulation. Put it back together and it should drain fine. You could also check your drain hose and replace if necessary.

First try to unplug and then plug it back in. Hopefully this will reset the dishwasher. Good luck.

Try flipping the break in fuse box. It may reset control panel. good luck

Sounds like a heating problem you might have to change the controls and heater

There is a fan blade on the top of the pump shaft. IT is loose. They are pressed onto the shaft. The only thing you can do is replace the motor or the whole machine.

Put some kind of washer on the spindle to stop the up and down motion of spinner. Manual can be gotten at mfg web site or google search. For the residue I would use a sudsy ammonia cleaner or grease cutter. Or a baking soda paste .

The drain usually connects with a flexible plastic hose to the garbage disposal under your kitchen sink. Run the disposal for a minute to see if that unclogs anything.

Remove the hose and blow into it (use a straw and try to make a seal between hose and straw with your hand because old drain pipes taste really bad if you kiss them directly).

Otherwise, your pump may have gond bad - dishwashers do not drain on gravity alone. they all use pumps. Yours may not be worth replacing unless you are really handy and can do it yourself.

Pumps are available and located on the bottom of the unit. Disconnect drain hose. Disconnect circuit breaker. Remove panel by toe-kick and disconnect electical hard-wired connection. Disconnect water (under kitchen sink). Pull it out from under the counter. Order new pump, install and replace. Be careful with the electricity.

Good luck.
