Twisted or trapped drain hose.
Check the drain hose.
Filter clogged.
Check coarse the filter.

Check the kitchen sink to make
sure it is draining well. If the
problem is the kitchen sink that
is not draining, you may need a
plumber rather than a serviceman
for dishwashers.
Suds in the tub
Wrong detergent.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this
occurs, open the dishwasher and
let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon
of cold water to the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then
select any cycle. Initially, the
dishwasher will drain out the water.
Open the door after draining
stage is complete and check if the
suds have disappeared. Repeat if
necessary.
Spilled rinse-aid.
Always wipe up rinse-aid spills
immediately.
Stained tub interior
Detergent with colorant may have
been used.
Make sure that the detergent has
no colorant.
White film on inside surface
Hard water minerals.
To clean the interior, use a damp
sponge with dishwasher detergent
and wear rubber gloves. Never use
any other cleaner than dishwasher
detergent otherwise, it may cause
foaming or suds.
