GE Dishwasher Not working

This GE dishwasher is not working. I can't tell if it's not getting water or not draining or both. The water that does come out is all white and foamy like there is a lot of soap in there.
I followed some instructions here: http://www.partselect.com/dishwasher+dishwasher-wont-fill+repair.htm
My float valve, float switch, and water inlet switch all look good. My drain solenoid is very corroded, but tests out to about 34-35 ohms. If any of those parts are bad, the drain solenoid looks the worst, but I just don't know enough about dishwashers to make a good decision. If anyone has any ideas, please leave a comment.

It's been a while since I dealt with this, so I don't remember all the details, but I opened up all the hoses on the pump, and there wasn't much junk in there. I replaced several parts that I had read online were likely causing the problem. I replaced the water inlet valve, the check valve (backflush valve), and the drain solenoid. Still didn't fix it. Rather than dump anymore money into an 11 year-old dishwasher, I bought a new Bosch. Sorry if that doesn't help those with similar problems.

why don't you try to let the dishwasher run for about 2 minutes so it can gain power

Maybe your pump is clogged. Big chunks of food or labels from new dishes could be the problem.

Have you figured this out? Mine is doing the same thing.

@beachbummm69 I think he bypassed the door switch as someone would do w/ a washing machine.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong??? i have the exact same prob...

[beachbummm69]

i didnt know they would fill with the door open....seems like a stupid design flaw

Try checking the pump and filter to se if its not draining all the way and if soap is just sitting there.Tyr running a cycle without eny thing in the washer if thay dose not work then just drain it if you can
