The belt is probably just broken. The belts were not very durable on these dishwashers and eventually just snap.
If it’s the earlier one, you’ve got a big job on your hand as something has gone wrong with the motor and pump assembly which is in the back. A picture of the inside of the dishwasher would tell us which one you have. John. |

Thanks, everyone! I added an inside picture. The motor does hum but it doesn't engage to drain the water. It's one of the early models that doesn't have a belt and the motor is sideways in the back right corner and difficult to get to.

If you hear home from the motor, it could be one of several things as Alan mentioned.
It could be a bad motor winding could be a bad relay could be a bad timer. It’s also likely that the pump has locked up these used to seal ball, bearing next to the water seal often water would get into it, and it would just rust and seize in between uses. John |
