The soap was out of the dispenser but not dissolved
The whiring noise is the machine giving itself time to fill with water before it kicks into the next cycle stage, if the machine sensor doesnt detect water within the time set the machine will not go to the next stage and will detect/display a machine fault/error. Can you hear water flow into machine while hearing this noise also? If not This would suggest water intake to machine has been interrupted. if the water flow is not interrupted then with the soap not dissolving it could be either temp thermostate or pump blokage. You'll need your model number to search for the machine Service manual online if you don't still have it. *Do not attempt to clear pump/ diagnose or open your machine without turning machine off and disconnecting plug from the wall*
That "whirring sound", but does nothing?...
That may be because you are not taking your wife out often enough? Those cycles are important too.

does the timer advance the control knob? check to see that nothing is in the way of the center spray tower. does it sound like any water is spraying around inside?

do you have a salt unit fitted. I had the same problem and the repair guy had to replace the salt unit as it was blocked up. Failing that it might be the board not opening the solenoid to allow the water to be jetted through the soap dispenser.

Sounds like whatever soap you are using is just too much soap your dishwsher can handle. The soap "packs" are usulally an overload of soap for most dishwashers. Just a few teaspoons of regular name brand soap sometimes will cure lots of dishwsher ills!!!

so here it is...
get a screw driver (you may need a "star" head driver as well), get in there and take out all that you can and clean it (it all comes out pretty easily)...you will find a lot of undisolved soap and hard water build up...rinse it, scrape it, vacuum it...just get out as much as you can...keep note of how you took it apart so you can put it back together...then put 1/2 to a whole gallon of vinegar in and run a cycle (hi-temp if you have that option)...if it was like mine most of your sprayers were gummed up and the water just wasn't moving through the machine...
to avoid this problem...use half of what you have been using of your detergent...and only fill the "pre rinse" section if you are doing pots and pans....and then only fill that half way as well.
after that run a few cups of vinegar through on an empty cycle once a month...
whole job (not including the wash cycle) 1.5 hours...

most times i have found a foriegn object in the pump. sometimes the machine will clear it itself but other times you have to take the pump apart. it is not too difficult but you will need a size T15 and T20 Torx aka (star) bit to get it apart. Just keep taking out screws until the filter flowplate lifts off.
