Unit won't pump out end of normal cycle .
Entered In F1 test mode, appears to step through each cycle ok and does pump down to normal sump only level. I have dual pumps, both working and the solinoid & valve next to main (center) pump works.
the valve under back strainer is clean and free. flow out the breaker vent is clear
The sequencer appears to run ok as it steps through in test mode . . unplugging whole unit for 30 seconds . on power up, the sequencer appears to cycle & return to "home" and touch pad will now allow choice to be made. any ideas don't want to just "buy and try" the two -three? most expensive parts
Sequencer $60 control board $135 or turbidity sensor ? $125
not sure about checking the turbidity sensor?
TIA for any suggestions

Thanks for response ; update & correction retried F1 test mode :
it's not some water it's full.. as in the pre-rinse + wash cycle water..
step #6 ? main pump & motor ran, solenoid did close but tub did not drain. untill I got to step 12 ? and the little secondary pump did fully drain tub OK. Had unscrewed pulled & looked @ the piston-nut assem. seemed clean free playing & undammaged . now believe maybe one of two "flappers". either @ the main pump or the "chamber body" in back. SEARS wants almost two weeks for the "chamber body".& seperate flapper valve for the main pump ( WD22X10018 & WD1X11486) Indi-parts close to me will have in Sat so will wait for them before disconnecting water- drain- power & pulling out the unit
will let you know how it goes.. Bill-SJ
Bill, I see this all the time in GE, that valve under the back strainer is called the piston nut assy. If it's not seating you will have water left in the tub at the end of the cycle. Part #wd24x220, can get it for around 13.95, repairclinic.com. You replace it from the top, it unscrews....Catriver.

I have a Kenmore Elite dishwasher (model 665.13153K701), and the dishwasher will run through the wash cycle as expected, but when it gets to the heated dry cycle (I'm assuming it is the heated dry cycle), it doesn't appear to dry. It will then flash a fault code 61 (6 short flashes of the 'clean' light, pause, and then 1 more short flash of the 'clean' light, longer pause, and repeat the code). The dishes seem to be somewhat dry, but there is certainly water on the dishes and on the tub (there is never any water standing in the tub, and the tub drians correclty). I no longer feel steam coming out of the dishwasher, and the dishes don't feel hot anymore. I am sure the dishwasher has the heated dry option selected when I run a cycle.
