I'm tried checking the plastic tubes, filter, and drain hole within the dishwasher but no clogs.

The black pipes that go into to ground are not drained since this same is used frequently everyday by my sink with no issues.

I tried scooping the water out. Turning off the breaker to the power for 30 minutes. Holding the start by to reset it.

But it will not drain the water nor do a proper cleaning. And to sanitized light flashing. It seems maybe looking for a product to start sanitize cycle maybe? We tried adding liquid to it, closing it, doing a sanitize cycle, but the same problem.

Just responded. The tubes are fine. So is the filter, and as much as my hand can get into just after the filter.

    They sell what's called "plumbing snake", cheapest is about $10, maybe that could reach further. I think the commenter before was alluding to moving the unit out from the wall and checking the back of it, but before doing so switch off as many breakers as you can because the appliance will be hardwired and in fact you might not be able to even pull it out until after you've disconnected the wires by hand.

    Thank you. I have moved the unit from the wall, and was able to blow the water from the tube into the drain. So I think its something to do with within the dishwasher itself.
