Kenmore dishwasher runs through normal cycle but doesn't drain and water is left in the bottom of the dishwasher. The water will drain out when the drain/cancel button is pushed.
Sounds to me that you may have some suds residue in the dishwasher that keeps it from draining completely. Get you some dishwasher cleaner which you can purchase at wal-mart or wherever you buy your detergent, and clean out your dishwasher. It is a inexpensive test. Alot less expensive than having a tech come to your house. Make sure that your drain hose is mounted higher that where it goes into the drain. This is also a common problem that I encounter in the field. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you futher.
If even after the cleaning you still have the same problem, try this...power off...not at the breaker, just at the controls. Hit these buttons in sequence...High temp scrub - Energy saver - High temp scrub - Energy saver. This will put the unit into a self diagnostics mode. Let it run through all the cycles until it quits. This will take approx. 10 minutes. Try washing again. If this doesn't correct your problem then you will need to replace your control board.

no, it stays dry.
Just ran the dishwasher cleaner through - there is no draining of water at all - in fact there is more water in the bottom than previously. ( it will drain when I push cancel/drain button)
Does the water come back in eventually after you press the cancel/drain button?
