Is there a dishwasher repair person in the house? I have an obscure issue I am trying to resolve. I have searched the internet far and wide...
@MPCavalier I have a certain set of skills, describe the problem.

DW stopped draining. I traced two issues. 1. The check valve below the filter (next to the grinder) needed a replacement (see photo). Here's where it gets weird. The round part of the valve was gone. 2. The drain hose out of the pump also has a built in check valve. When I inspected the drain pump end of the hose i felt a rubber valve blocking the output but it would not budge (which i think is the cause of the blockage)

@MPCavalier I’m in agreement with the broken part being an additional choke point. Removing and cleaning the hoses (ream, degrease, unblock) is my suggestion. And assure the disposal inlet is clear. The scary thing being the potential for fragments being inside the pump. And of course clean or replace the filter. Good luck in your mission. More times than not doing it yourself gets the job done sooner than tracking down someone to do it for you.

My question is...
Is the blockage in the hose actually the drain hose check valve OR did the round part of the tub's check valve break off - and get lodged in the drain hose? What should I feel inside the pump end of the drain hose? Thanks for any guidance.
