The dishwasher stopped cycling and water remained in the tub. When I open the door while it is in the run cycle I heard a hissing sound. The coil in the bottom is corroded as is the motor underneath.

The sizzling sound was the heater either trying to heat the wash water to temp or dry your dishes depending on what cycle it was in. __________________ ................."I want a house that has gotten over all its troubles.
