Fred for Model Number Kenmore 665.13744K601 My dishwasher will not drain at the end of the cycle. (I suspect it does not drain anytime during the wash.) I find dirty, soapy water left in the tub. To salvage the effort, I have been doing two cancel drain cycles to get the tub as empty of water as possible followed by a quick rinse and two more cancel drains. I changed the control board then the drain pump. Neither helped. I just learned about the optical water indicator. Now I am suspecting this might be the culprit. Is the OWI the likely problem and if so, how can I clean/test it?
Answer Hello Fred. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the drain hose may be partially clogged and will need to be snaked out, or replaced. Place the end of the hose in a buck and see if the water comes out in a trickle and real slow. If so, the hose is clogged. Hope this helps. Read More...
