Ok, this is a carryover from another post.

I am having problems with water not completely draining from my
dishwasher. Like most dishwashers, the drain hose is connected to my
insinkerator. I took the drain hose off and blew in it. I had to blow
REALLY hard to get any bubbles to appear in the puddle in my
dishwasher. I turn beat-read in the face doing it.

That would be beet red, even if you were beat after doing it.

You should NOT be able to make bubbles in the DW. There is a valve that is
closed to hold the water in. The fact that you could not blow past it means
it is closed, as it should be when not draining.

Possibilities a
Solenoid valve not opening when it should be. (replace the valve)
Clog in the line
Timer not sending a signal to open the valve.

Find the valve under the machine. It is most likely where the hose is
connected. See if you can manually open the valve by pushing on a lever.
Once open, if the line is clear, it will be easy to blow through the hose.
If not, there is a clog. I've had mine blocked by a stray cherry pit.
