You'll have to turn your head clockwise or screen counter clockwise to see the mouse pic properly. Sorry, at least it's clear. |

The drain valve is probably shorted open. |

Really nice machine. Will clean circles around most of the junk on the market today------ once it is operating properly. |

So how do you fix a shorted out drain valve? |

I would start by disconnecting the power from the machine and then removing the mouse. Reconnect the power then see what happens. |

Did that. Cleaned contacts with a toothbrush. No luck. |

Well, I will be opening the place up again soon. Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for how to fix this thing? Should I just buy a new/used one off of Craigslist? |

Something is in the drain valve keeping it from closing. Open it up could be a bit of glass toothpick etc. Easy fix. |

I did take the entire thing apart from the inside and found nothing blocking the drain. Any idea on that dishwasher where the drain solenoid is located? The mouse was way up high, not near the drain. And line power OPENS the solenoid? Thanks - not my area of expertise. |
