If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the air

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub:
1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water
by slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use a detergent that's
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to ovemowing.
Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.

If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out once every week.
This will help keep the sed moist, and tie garbage disposer clear.

interior with extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration.
If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.
