My Whirlpool dishwasher (WDT720PADM2) won’t drain during or at the end of the cycle. You can hear the motor running during the cycle and at the end, but no water drains. There is dirty water in the bottom of the dishwasher when it finishes. If I hit the cancel/drain button immediately after the cycle ends, it won’t drain, but if I wait for it to cool (about 30-60 minutes), it drains completely. There doesn’t appear to be any kind of clog, because the water flow is strong when it drains.
This problem has been happening intermittently for over 2 years. Two years ago, I bought a replacement pump, but the dishwasher started working before it arrived. Off and on, this has continued to happen for a few weeks at a time, and we just run a rinse cycle until it fixes itself.
I ended up replacing the pump, but it didn’t make a difference. Any ideas?
