I bought the Fisher Price basic Noah's Ark. I washed the pieces in the dishwasher. I can't get water out of the people and animals without shaking forever. I know water in soft toys with holes is not healthy.These are hard not squeezable toys. What should I do? Oh yes I am the Grandma. Thanks, Cindy

See if the water hose to the unit is kinked or otherwise restricted. If the water hose seem ok them you might have a defective water inlet electro valve. The video may help, be patient e5 is explained Fisher and Paykel Dishwasher Error Codes

I say take it to the skeet range.... Okay, that was not helpful, I know.

I am curious why you put this in washing machines? Well a search tells me that Fisher Price gets a lot of complaints about this product. That said try this link for instructions;

You can try these Noah's Ark shape sorters available on Amazon that are shaped like animals.

On the bottom of each piece is a letter. Here is how the letters fit together to form an oval. Bridge is A and the other straight track is F you also have 2 B's & 2 C's
going clockwise: A - B - C - E - F - D - C - B
The 2 tall supports go under the junctions at B & C on either side and the small supports go under the junctions at C & D and C & E

If the dishwasher is completing the wash cycle without any problem then the suds can occur either because you not using correct detergent. This model does not tolerate the tablets. You have to use the powder.
Water remaining in the bottom of drawer is linked to drain hose either blocked or not looped high enough under the kitchen sink.
I would suggest check this document for correct installation.

Noah had one of these in the ark...he did a full defrost(left it for 24 hours with the doors open then cleaned the vents/drains)and his was fine after that,hope this works for you.....also check door seals for tight fit all round.

To the cold tap. These need the cold water to rinse and heat the water with a element inside to wash. cheers

The machine is not installed correctly, as it probably has a single air gap and the hoses for the two drawers are sharing that single air gap. These are basically two seperate dishwashers. There is a fix from fisher paykel parts:
