I have a Energy Saver V Kitchenaid Superba by Hobart. It was installed May 1984 and until a month a go it was worked perfectly.

Now when the Dishwasher completes it cycles (pre-wash thru dry)it is full of water.

I have been emptying the dishes and then running the dishwasher on the Cancel Cycle and it runs thru all the stages and empties the water. So I know it is not a drainage issue.

Any ideas on why it doesn't drain when running the full wash cycle?

Poor Draining KA DW

While the drain is not totality blocked it is probably draining too slowly and as the dw goes through the cycle each time it drains it probably leaves some water in the sump. Basically you have to watch it go through a full cycle and see if this is what is happening, then if this is what is wrong you have to figure where the drain is partly blocked or if the drain pump housing is blocked.

Poor draining

If this dw is using an Air Gap pull off the top of it and clean the Gap bet its pluged there if so its an easy fix.

Did you recently replace your disposal? If so,there's a drain for the dishwasher's drain hose to be clamped on to. That that drain pipe needs to be popped open otherwise, the dishwasher pump works but the water has nowhere to go.

Isn't there a strainer in Kitchenaids? 'Course if that was the problem it should have showed up before now.
