After running the dishwasher, at the end of the cycle water still remains in the tub. The dishwasher is supposed to automatically drain the water, instead I have to manually drain the water (this is done by pressing the Drain Off button on the panel)
What part(s) do I need to repair or replace?

Khira,
You most likely have a clog or possibly a kink in the drain hose.
Try this,
Disconnect the drain hose from the disposal connection, or air gap ?
Put the end of the hose in a large bucket,star the dishwasher, let it fill and wash for a few minutes, then select the drain/cancel button and allow the dishwasher to drain into the tub.
Check for debris in the water, No debris, would indicate a kinked drain hose .
Unfortunately that was not the problem. In my opinion it is the "mechanism" that allowed the water to automatically drain completely is broken.
This is still the problem: After the cycle, the water will drain half way, then I have to manually press "drain off" to drain/release the rest of the water. What part allows the water to drain automatically? Maybe the control board? Would faulty wiring be the issue?

Khira,
Unfortunately,
There is no "mechanism" that allows the dishwasher to automatically drain.
You have a two direction motor, in the wash cycle, the motor turns in one direction and the wash impeller pushes the water up and out the spray arms.
When it’s time to drain, the motor direction reverses, the drain impeller turns and pushes the water out the drain hose and into the drain system.
All your drain times on all your cycles is approximately 2 minutes long.
On average it takes 40 to 60 seconds to drain the tub, if there are no kinks or clogs in the drain lines or pump.
If you’re sure there are no kinks or clogs in the drain hose, disposal, anti syphon assembly(if you have one), then you’ll need to dismantle the pump and check both impellers for damage( I’d expect you to also have had a noise complaint).
I have a Frigidaire side-by-side frig model FRS26ZSHB4 that is about 10 years old. The ice maker is not receiving water. The arm is down. The water from the door is working. I have replaced the 1st water valve(part 218859701) that sends water to the filter. The water line from the 2nd water valve(part 218832401), which sends the filtered water to the ice maker, is clear. If I pour water into the ice maker, the ice maker works and pushes ice into the bin. Could it be a bad 2nd valve? Could 2nd valve not be receiving signal to send water to the ice maker?
Thanks Chris. It appears that the water line from the 2nd valve to the ice maker had ice in it. I just blew it out and now the ice maker is working. Well, now I have a new 1st valve that was not needed.
My problem is no water to the ice maker. I removed the line where it enters the rear at the top and water will be dispensed into a catch bottle. I suspect ice buildup between the ice maker inlet and where the supply line attaches to the refrigerator back. Does this sound feasible? If so, how do I clear it? I tried holding the hair dryer on a warm setting for thirty second intervals but no luck.
Thanks anyone and everyone.

I am afraid, that you will have to replace the other water valve too. It’s bypassing water into the tube where it freeze.
Don’t hide your blow dryer yet.
I hate to revive an old thread, but I am having similar issues. I am not getting water into my ice maker. I have already replaced my water control valve, water filter, and now my ice maker. My ice maker worked for a day after I got it and quit again. Is there a second valve or something, or could this all be water pressure?
