Need advice and diagrams on finding and clearing clog. Line to sink is clear as blew through line to bottom of dishwasher.

Dishes have film and water not draining completely though pump seems to be working. I sponged it out and turned it on to dry -- smelled an actinic odor. I downloaded manual but no parts available at Maytag.com.

Recommend repair or replace?

Also, link to verify age would be nice -- SN 32650230QZ.

Thank you!

This site is great with parts and diagrams.
I would disassemble the lower spray arm assembly down to the filter area to check for blockage or clog.
Detergent residue and food can build up in this area over time causing water to not drain properly.

Here is a parts breakdown and a wiring diagram

Do not know if this is the manual you downloaded or if it was just the operators manual. Anyways here is a service manual which should help.

Your clog may be at the sink especially if you have a garburetor
Run the drain into a pail to confirm this. Put a rag over the pail to prevent it from splashing all over.

Note do not run the unit totally dry, this can cause damage.
