SOLUTION
Remove tarnish with silver polish. Have silver replated.
Allow dishwasher to complete cycle. Someremaining water is normal and keeps seals from drying.
Someplumbing codes require use of a drain air gap between an under- counter dishwasher and the dram system of the house. The air gap is usually located above the sink or on the top of the counter near the dishwasher to prevent the possibility of water backing up from the dram into the dishwasher due to a plugged drain. The drain air gap is NOT a part of the dishwasher and is NOT covered by the dishwasher warranty. The dram air gap should be kept clean to ensure proper draining of the dishwasher.
