My Kitchen Aid dishwasher model [COLOR=#424282]kuds03ctbl3 leaves dirty dishes in the top basket. [/COLOR]
So far I’ve removed and cleaned the "accumulator assembly", "Protector", "Chopper", the rubber "Valve", wash arms, the PVC conduits connecting the spray arms. Also, I inspected the air vent on the drain pains under the sink, all is fine.
I have noticed that the machine does not completely drain the waste water. The water stays just next to the grinder ("Protector"), at the bottom, but when I press ‘Cancel’ the pump drains it completely. What could be a problem?
I suspect the electronic control unit is designed to drive timing of the individual cycles, but does not check if the draining cycle is completed, which would be reported by a water level sensor. If so, perhaps the drain pump performs purely, but the control unit does not see it. Does this make sense?
Thank you, V
