Motor not turning water round

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would still suggest you go through the whole action all over again JUST to make sure that something hasn't been 'released' into the filter or the pump area. As the pump is managing to drain most of the water I wouldn't think that it is at fault. I would be interested to know if the 'error' is the same- 'FP'(?).
Here are my pre-typed complete (sorry!) guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
------------------------------------
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play!

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Good luck!

If your dishwasher seems noisy, check these:
Water-inlet valve
An aging water-inlet valve can sometimes fail slowly, rather than all at once. It can shudder on and off rapidly, causing the incoming water lines to shake, rumble, and rattle--sometimes violently. If yours is doing this, replace the inlet valve.
Motor
If it's the motor that's noisy, either of these may be the "culprit:"
As motor bearings wear out, they can become quite loud when the motor runs. They wear out quickly if they frequently get wet, because the water washes away the motor bearing grease. Bearings can get wet if the spin seal is defective. Then there will also be water leaking onto the floor beneath the dishwasher. Replace the seal if it leaks (read about the main tub seal in the "It leaks" section, later).
If, from beneath the dishwasher, you can see a round, plastic disc that's mounted to the top of the motor (a "slinger"), it may have broken free of the motor shaft. If so, it could be rattling around the shaft while the motor is running. If that's the problem, you need to replace the motor.
Heater fan
If the heater fan bearings are rusted or worn, they may squeal, or scrape loudly during the drying cycle. If this is the problem, replace the fan motor. Alternatively, the fan blade may be loose. If so, you need to replace it.
Pump
Small fruit pits, toothpicks, and fragments of glass sometimes get stuck in the pump. When this happens, open the pump and remove the debris. The pump is usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of the dishwasher.
To get to the pump, you usually need to remove the lower rack, the spray arms, and the spray arm support from the inside of your dishwasher. A dishwasher pump isn't obvious. Look for an impeller--a round, plastic fan blade-type device that spins around and pushes the water toward the drain. When you can see the drain impeller, you should be able to see the clogging debris.

1 Look at the heater fan to check for rusty or squeaky parts. If defective parts are found, replace the fan. If not, go on to the next step.
2 Replace the water inlet valve, which is located at the bottom of one of the sides of the dishwasher, beneath the lower access panel. As a water inlet valve ages, it can sometimes slowly stop working correctly, switching between "on" and "off" every few seconds. This can cause a shaking and rattling noise. If this does not fix the noise, go on to the next step.
3 Remove the lower rack and the lower spray arm from the dishwasher, removing any screws as needed to do so.
4 Beneath the lower spray arm is a pump that contains a propeller. Check the pump for debris (like small bones, seeds, or fragments of glass) that might be causing the noise. If this does not fix the noise, go on to the next step.
5 Beneath the pump is the dishwasher's motor. Check to see if the plastic dish at the top of the motor has broken off. If it has, it may be rattling when the motor is on and causing the noise. In this case, replace the entire motor.
6 Check the bearings on the motor. If they are worn out, replace them.
7 If you cannot trace the noise to its source, try replacing the motor.

Hello. There are several possible causes for your problem. Let me briefly go through each one and then you may be able to zero in on your specific issue. I will try to include the fix for each.
Drain line/air gap A clog in the drain line or air gap (if there is one) is the usual reason that a dishwasher won't drain. Pump The pump ejects the water. The pump is usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of the dishwasher. Look for an impeller--a round plastic fan blade-type of device that spins around. This is the wash impeller, which forces the water through the spray arm. Beneath the wash impeller is the drain impeller, which is similar in size and shape to the wash impeller. The drain impeller pushes the water toward the drain port. These components make up the pump. If any of the pump components are defective, you need to replace them. Drain valve and/or solenoid Many dishwashers use a drain valve with an electric solenoid. When electricity flows to the solenoid, the valve opens and diverts the water to the drain. Sometimes the solenoid, or the diverting lever, sticks and prevents the dishwasher from draining or filling properly. Try to free up the solenoid to lubricate the lever. Otherwise, you may have to replace the solenoid or pump assembly. Motor If the motor isn't turning or working, the unit won't drain. If the motor hums but doesn't turn, it may need to be replaced. Timer Part of what the timer does is control the motor and drain valve. If the timer doesn't work properly, the water may not drain and you need to replace the timer. This problem is uncommon.

thanks and accept the solution accordingly

ummm really soundslke a motor coupler issue, although it appears to be in tact perhaps the slotted ends have rounded out orhave a crack so when torque ofthe motor is applied it slips past causing hte noise. soundslike the motor is running??? and will drain water ??? thiswill provethe motor is runningif drains water..

good luck
thanks for using FixYa

sounds like the circulating pump. could be a foreign object stuck in the pump impellor. could also be the pump capacitor - cheap part

It could be a pump issue. The dishwasher has a motor that attached to a pump which forces the water up into the sprayer arms and during the drain cycle,it pushes the water out of the dishwasher. The motor and pump are located beneath the dishwasher. Look if the pump's impeller (a round plastic fan blade-type of device) spins around freely. In case it doesn't spin freely, look if it doesn't blocked or stuck from any other reason. Good luck!

you may have a bad motor. I would check the float switch it is the round hat looking thing on the left side. it should move up and down easy.. you may need a repairman to change out the motor/pump..let me know thanks
