Sounds like a faulty sensor in the rinse aid compartment. You could try putting warm water in to displace the rinse aid. This might help to free up the sensor if it is either stuck or blocked with residue. You might need to do this several times over a few hours before you notice any change. Don't put boiling water in though, this could destroy the seal
Thankyou...worked!!
Youre welcome. Glad I could help
Can vinegar work?

SOURCE: Dishwashing detergent in rinse aid compartment
not good there is no way to drain it out. you might be able to take the door apart and take off the rinse aid reservoir and clean it out
SOURCE: salt light is on, no manual. What do I do?
Remove the bottom basket from inside the dishwasher - you will see a twist cap on the bottom of the pan - unscrew and add your salt there - it takes about a box to fill. Reinstall cap, and the salt light will extinguish.

Most likely the actuator for the rinse aid dispenser is not functioning.

If your model is displaying the same symptoms as the W1930 that I repaired, then the cure is to replace or check the brushes on the main drive motor ($17) and check or replace the bearings ($12). This is much easier on the pocket book. I was able to confirm the presence of drive voltage (25VDC) to the motor terminals prior to the removal.

I did the same thing with my Maytag dishwasher, several times actually, before realizing I was putting blue dish soap in the rinse aid compartment which then wouldn't empty. Then my Maytag started making ominous noises during the rinse cycle (appliance guy said it was "cavitation" noise).
Appliance guy wanted to replace the whole detergent/rinse aid compartment but since he told me the noise was probably caused by the dish soap stuck in the rinse aid compartment, I decided to try to get rid of it first. Here is the method that worked for me; it took most of a day but saved me parts & labor:
1. Get some white vinegar--I used nearly a quart.
2. Fill the rinse aid compartment to brim with the vinegar (overfill) but don't put cap on
3. Raise the dishwasher door slowly until the vinegar drains into the lower part of the chamber (at least this is how my Maytag worked)
4. Agitate the contents as best you can by rapidly shaking the dishwasher door up & down.
5. I also used a small plastic medicine dropper jammed into small openings on each side of the rinse aid compartment to agitate the vinegar by squeezing air into them.
6. Drain the compartment by closing the dishwasher door (move it to full vertical)--vinegar will drain into the bottom of the dishwasher.
7. Repeat above steps a couple times, then fill again w/vinegar, put the cap on and let it stand for awhile. Then drain and repeat the whole routine several times.
8. Blue-colored vinegar will come out which is a good sign (or whatever color your dish soap was).
9. After awhile, I started pouring generous amts of very hot tap water thru the rinse aid compartment, alternating with white vinegar. (No reason you can't use hot vinegar also.)
10. Eventually, all the blue stuff came out & the see-thru levels of the rinse aid compartment were completely clear/empty.
11. Run the dishwasher (I decided to not put any rinse aid in). I got some overfoaming (from the washed out soap) the first time I ran it which I probably could have remedied by adding more vinegar & possibly salt, but the noises were gone!
I just ran the cleaned out dishwasher a 2nd time & it was back to its quiet self with no overfoaming.
Takes some patience but hey, beats a big repair bill!!
