Alex for Model Number PLD2850RDC2 My dishwasher will drain, but only when I disconnect the drain hose from the kitchen sink disposal and hold it at a low height (i.e. make it easier for the motor to push the water out). It looks like the motor can push the water out of the dishwasher if manually put the drain hose pointing down into a bowl on the floor, but it doesn't have the juice to push the water upwards into the air gap and downwards into the garbage disposal. Does this mean that I need a new drain pump assembly? I've already replaced the inlet valve, but the same issue persists.
