I’m having trouble figuring out why this dishwasher is not draining. I have checked the drain hose It appears to have good flow. It drains but leaves a lot of water in the tub. The drain cycle seems to short but I did not time it. This washer does not have a separate drain pump. It has the solenoid which also appears to be working right. Sump pump is clear and I pulled the motor to check for any a blockage. The DW is only about two years old. I would say low end model.

Sometimes the flapper valve in the pump which is activated by the drain solenoid
can be loose on its shaft and not open all the way. In return giving you intermittent not complete pump out.
Also check the inlet strainer in the pump sump area to see if there is fine plastic wrap covering the
opening screen for the pump thus reducing water flow to the unit.
