 I'd say it sounds more like the water inlet valve - if you hear the machine start up right away, that's the wash/drain pump. Is it possible that the water supply pipe to the dishwasher was altered or shut off because of the bathroom remodel? Don't laugh, but I lived in a house where the hot water line to the bathroom had been tapped into in order to connect a dishwasher - when the hot line got shut off to the bathroom, the water to the dishwasher was also shut off! | ||

I would definitely put my money on either the contractors shut the water off to the machine, or disconnected the water supply to the machine or even maybe a clogged water valve. I doubt there is anything wrong with the machine especially if it was working before the renovation. These old D&M machines were built well. | ||

It does sound like something happened to the water supply 
When you start the dishwasher are you hearing the humming sound of the valve just to be sure make sure nothings underneath the float holding it up in the bottom of the tank.
It does sound like you have a valve problem just the shock of turning on and off the water to an old inlet valve in a DM dishwasher could be enough to ruin it so you may need a new inlet valve at this point don’t try to fix the old valve or clean it unless you have a good flood insurance. Install a new valve, if you can’t get one for a DNM dishwasher you can use a KitchenAid valve 4171000 will fit Hi Charlie you gave me the laugh at the day when you said there’s old D&M dishwashers were well-made.

Most Kenmore dishwashers were made by D&M until about the mid 80s, usually they did not last long and that is why Sears sold so many dishwashers. Then they started to source some machines from Whirlpool and they were much better. Most D&M dishwashers have long been recycled/to the landfill long ago. | ||
