Model #REP 8000R RAMSEY winch

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your dishwasher. If the dishwasher is, spraying water in a wash cycle the impeller is going to be fine. This dishwasher uses the same impeller for wash and drain. I recommend turning the dishwasher to a drain cycle. When the dishwasher is running listen for water trickling from the drain hose. If you hear some water coming out of the drain the problem could be the piston nut assembly in the back of the dishwasher. in a drain cycle the piston nut is supposed to pop up and seal the opening into the tub so the water is forced out the drain hose. The piston threads into the collector box from the inside of the tub. I have marked the piston in the image below with a red box.

If the piston is not the problem I recommend checking for a blockage where the drain hose connects to the drainpipes or garbage disposal. If no blockages are found in this area, disconnect power to the dishwasher and remove the lower dish rack. Pull the sump inlet cover off and check for a clog in the sump area.

You could have restriction in the drain hose or the flapper valve area of the solenoid drain valve assembly. With electrical power to the dishwasher disconnected, disconnect the drain hose on the bottom of the dishwasher. Manually push the plunger down and see if water will drain out of the dishwasher with the drain hose disconnected from the drain valve assembly. If it does, then you could still have a restriction in the drain hose or the solenoid is not pulling the plunger down properly.

If water does not drain when you manually push down the plunger, then you could have a restriction in the body of the drain valve assembly. I recommend calling a service technician to diagnose and repair your dishwasher if the above tips do not help you resolve the drain problem.

Thank you for using Manage my life.
