sorry I may have led you guys in the wrong direction by stating it does iteverytime it drains. it does it everytime it drains only if there is water to drain. if there is no water to drain (an event I can only confirm on the cancel cycle) the motor does not shut off pre-maturely. | ||

Awesome Thanks Steve, I didn't know about the check valve, will I see it when I take the drain hose off? What is that valve designed to check and how do I know if the previous owner didn't take it off when they were disconnecting the dishwasher from its home for the last 20 some odd years? | ||

KD 21-22 CHECK VALVES
The check valve is in the drain line about one foot from where the drain hose connects to the bakelite pump housing. It is light blue plastic you should be able to blow through it only in the direction the water drains. If you can blow through it both ways you need to replace the rubber diaphragm inside otherwise the dishes won't wash in the top rack of the machine.

 It's my understanding that there's a GE part that can be used in place of the NLA KA check valve.
It's also my understanding that John (combo 52) can advise on the GE part number.
The 2nd ISE Classic Supreme I found came with a good check valve so I haven't had to pursue the GE alternative.
Steve, if you can hear an "urping" sound from the end of the drain hose while the machine is washing, that's an indicator of a bad check valve.
