Interesting review, RayVee. Let's go ahead and take a further look into the dishwasher and how to get it back on track.
When a cycle is started, the dishwasher will first attempt to drain excess water left over from previous cycles. This will cause the dishwasher to sound like it is working, although no water is actually filling the unit yet. This is normal. After the unit runs a drain cycle (approximately 35 seconds), it will then proceed with the selected wash cycle.
