It will drain just fine inbetween cycles, like when I put it on light
wash, it drains inbetween wash and rinse.
At the end of the cycle it will not drain though, still have 4 inches
of water left in there.
I tried to reset the system to force it to drain by pusing start 3
times, still doesn't drain, but at the very end of that reset it shoots
a little water out of the drain.
I have checked all hoses and they are clear, plus it drains fine
inbetween cycles so it can't be a clog.
the piston is find no rubber rot at all, I replaced that 2 years ago.
If I disconnect the hose and lower the hose to below the water line it
will drain, but very slowly at the end of the cycle.
I did get it to drain once, they it started acting up again and will
not drain at end of cycle.
The solonoid seems to be working, I look underneath and it's moving
when it should.
anybody have any ideas?

Update on my GE Hotpoint,
It turned out to be the wiring between the timer and the bottom of
the dishwasher. I
removed the timer and tested it with an ohmmeter and it was working
fine. So after looking at the wiring diagram I guessed there must be a
short between the drain selonoid wire and the water valve wire. Sure
enough after following the wires through the wiring harness I found the
problem where the wires pass through the hinge from the door to the
bottom of the washer - age and continued flexing had caused the wire
insulation to crack and the wire to fray and the two bare wires were
touching one another. As a result when the water valve was getting
power, so was the drain selonoid.
