The econo cycle is the shortest cycle on the dish washer. You have a mainboard issue with it or something. Most cycles on newer dishwashers take 2 hours.
You have a hose discharge problem,
If you are connected to a sink outlet , undo it & make sure it`s clear , check your out hose for kinks, make sure fillter is clear, try a rince to see if it clears your suds.
all the best.
Elimination Of Problems From Most To Least Likely:
1. Connection from discharge hose to drain pipe is blocked/corroded. a) Loosen the gear clamp (5/16" Nut Driver/Phillips/Standard) holding the discharge hose to the barbed drain fitting. b) Check that the barbed fitting is not blocked by poking at the opening wth a screwdriver. c) If the barbed connection is Galvanzied and it has gotten heavily corroded, replacement of that fitting is recommended.
2. Discharge hose is blocked/kinked from dishwasher to drain connection. a) After 1b), place discharge end of hose into a bucket and run the dishwasher through a cycle. b) If flow is poor, examine hose for kinking or parts (such as couplings) that may have corroded shut. Removing front panel and using a flashlight will be required for this (1/4" nut driver/phillips) If such corrosion found, 1c). c) If hose and fittings are ok, there may be an inline filter whose screen is clogged or a filter screen where the dishwasher ties into it's discharge line. 3. Pump has failed internally . Usually held in place by large squeeze clamps, screws, gear clamps. Will most likely require removal of dishwasher from alcove to repair. Any reputable dealer should stock parts. i.e. Kenmore => Sears N.B. May be under warranty - check. May be cheaper just to get another dishwasher at this point, especially if the dishwasher is more than 10 years old.
