Bailed the water out but it keeps filling the bottom of th e dishwasher and leaking out on the hardwood floor. I raised the drain hose and even turned off the water, and water still came back. What gives. This could take an hour or more, but it's a pain. Some times it doesn't do it. Not sure why it's sporadic.

Your washer is siphoning,
The purpose of a dishwasher air gap or anti-siphon is to prevent the siphoning and back flow of water. The water can flow back into the dishwasher which will leave water in the bottom of the dishwasher. The air gap or anti siphon prevents siphoning if sinks are drained simultaneously.
Here's an explanation:

If your dishwasher will drain when you cancel the cycle. The problem is most likely a faulty water inlet valve. If you look you will notice the water is clear and over time the level is rising, it is because the water inlet valve is not seating entirely and letting a little water trickle in. Google replacing water inlet valve, it's easy and the part is cheap.

Hi Kevin, I actually had this issue about a week ago and cannot fix it (plumber was here and just snaked the kitchen and said it was fine, but it takes over an hour for water to show up again at the bottom of the Kenmore Elite Dishwasher from 2004).
I read your answer and understand everything u mean... ""you will notice the water is clear and over time the level is rising, it is because the water inlet valve is not seating entirely and letting a little water trickle in"" ...except one important thing which I can't figure out at all.
I turned the water completed off to the dishwasher. There is a dishwasher drain hose directly connected to the larger sink drain pipe as well.
How is water getting into the dishwasher even though I turned off the water to the dishwasher entirely? (is it backing up thru the drain hose?)
Please let us know. Thanks!
I have the same problem, any suggestion? Thanks.
If you shut the water off, there may be enough in the connection hose to put some back in but that wouldn’t be much I wouldn’t think. That is pretty weird. Are you certain the water is completely shut off?
Thanks for the reply. In my case, it turns out that the valve was defective at the same time. Water still leak into the dishwasher after I shut off the valve. Problem solved by replacing the water supply valve.
Kenny I have have the same Dishwasher, from the same year and the exact same problem :-) Is this the part you changed and how easy was it?

Hi
I had a similar problem with my Bosch. Turned out to be the float switch.
Check out this video on how to do it yourself.

I just bought a house , newly refinished kitchen, the garbage disposal sounded like it worked so I put food down it- nope all the food didn’t let the water drain, used the tool, didn’t work, no reset button worked, but sounds like electric- all new appliances- ran dishwasher empty- all the water onto my floor from under neath - I’m literally crying as I’ve spent my money and already got ripped off by a friend and had to pay to fix what he left me with- now this isn’t enough- I have hot water at the bathroom sink but no hot water at the bathroom shower- so after days of moving , packing, cleaning crappy water and no sleep- I can’t take a nice hot shower - all looks and no mthing is working and I’m so unhappy- single disabled mom- no income!!!
