Dishwasher won't drain even with pump continuity
Hello, and thank you in advance.
I have read through other questions before asking myself, and am confused as to What to check next.
My dishwasher won't drain.
The drain hose is clear.
The filter, sump filter, and drain pump are clear of debris.
The circulation pump and drain pump have continuity, tested with a multimeter.
The sink drain is fine, and no new garbage disposal.
After I checked the pumps, cleaned, and reassembled, I ran a quick rinse cycle and saw no pooled water. I then ran a full cycle and headed to work. I get back to find dirty water at the bottom.
When I cancel a cycle, I can hear a pump running. It doesn't sound odd or unusual.
Where should I look next? I just learned of the solenoid failure, control failure, or damaged check valve as being probable issues. Would these be reasonable to check?
Thanks for any help!

Hi @bradleydoyle24 ,
What is the make and model number of the dishwasher?
Some dishwashers have the service diagnostic information on a sheet either behind the kick panel or front cover. Check if it is there and if so try running the dishwasher in the diagnostic test mode to see what it shows.

Thanks, I saw a sheet behind the kick. I figured it may just be an electrical schematic, like I found when I was repairing my washing machine earlier in the year. As you can tell, I am trying to save money by learning this and am new to appliance repair! I will look at the sheet and see what I can find.
I have a GE Quietpower 3, by the way.

Hi @bradleydoyle24 ,
If it is necessary to get the correct replacement parts, the full model number of the dishwasher is a help.
Cheers.

No diagnostic mode for this model.
Model: GHDA480N00WW
Sorry for the delay, some personal issues came up. I hear a strange pumping sound when the drain cycle activates, like it's trying really hard. But like I said before, it tested OK for continuity. I may have to just call someone to come fix it.
Thank you for the help!
