** I’m at a complete loss as to what to do next short of calling in the repairman. **
Posting the dishwasher’s model number off its model and serial number tag might help us to see how it was designed (they’re not all the name) and what components it has which might be suspect.
You can find tips for locating the model and serial number tag on your appliances in the ‘Repair Parts’ section of my site linked below.
