3) can you hear something in the drain pump?

if all is good the let me know there may be more I can help with..

On this unit there is not , sorry

This is probably okay, you have clock like motions running the motor electric contacts. There needs to be a delay between some cycles or shorting will occur. The motor on some designs, for example. is reversed to pump out water. to have this work long term, a delay is inherent and not a concern.

if you have sediment in the water then the screen in the fill valve may be plugged.

spray's are most likely clogged with food debris,carefully use a small nail or similar object to clean them out.

Ok so your dishwasher won't do anything... it justs sits there and "Hums" you can't make it respond to any controls, and the ONLY way to Stop it. is to unplug the unit, replugging back in it simply "Hums" again and will do nothing.
Now this happens because, the STOP Button, is pressed and the "Door Opened", during the Wash Cycle. This should NOT be done. You shouldNEVER TURN IT OFF MID-CYCLE. you should instead, Simply, pull on the handle, to Open the door, the system will take care of everything, after, you close it,and pick up where it left off. The turning OFF, makes the machine "Think" that a New Cycle, is going to be done, before the old one is finished, and resets itself to do it all again. But it still has water, that's not meant to be there so it must dump it out.
Now, the FIX. Take the Dishwasher, out, and tip over on it's side, tip to about a 45' angle. Water will come out from underneath, this is from a small "Overflow" reservoir. this reservoir has an "Anti-Flood" switch. The removing of this water will "Reset" this Switch, and allow the dishwasher to work again.
So what happens, is this, when the STOP button is pressed Mid-Cycle, the machine must "Dump" whatever water is still in the machine, into the "Overflow Reservoir". This water then causes the Anti-flood switch to jam, and this stops the machine, until it is reset,by the above method.

Hi this problem is the soil sensor. Basically the dishwasher will continue washing or add time to the wash if it thinks the dishes are still dirty. You will need to replace the soil sensor normally located on or by the drain pump. Mike

If the fill valve does not open then there should be no water to pump unless the machines pressure switch is stuck in the closed position

That would fool the machine into thinking that the machine was up to level

Remove the back of the machine , look for a thin rubber or plastic tube going from the bottom of the drum to a small flying saucer shaped object near the top of the unit

Take the pipe off at the base and blow into it , you should hear a click , when you remove the pressure you should hear another click, if you do then the switch is working mechanically.

Turn the machine on and with the pipe still removed and see if the pump is still running if it is it is then you need to check out the pressure switch and the programmer

"888" on the older version of the drawers (pre-2007) meant that the unit has one or both thermistors were out of normal range. The main control board will blink code as well. You can normally see it through the bottom grill. One blink for evaporator thermsitor, two blinks for display thermistor and three for both.

need new timer

Generally there is an access point to unblock the drain in a dishwasher. Use drano with extreme caution.

It does remove. I had a serious amount of lime build up that was making it difficult.
