Part of trying the get my dishwasher to drain https://piefed.ca/c/diy@slrpnk.net/p/894317/help-fixing-my-dishwasher-it-won-t-drain-and-is-stop-on-sanitize-mode

I have removed to drain pump, solenoid, water heater.

The drain pump white part spins with no obstruction at all.

With a multimeter:

My solenoid is about to get 984 OHMs resistance.

I'm not sure how to check my drain pump. I don't see any connector end. Closest thing are these 6 metal spike thing pointed out on the motherboard.

I don't see any visible blockage.

I'm not sure if I need to check the voltage as well. And I'm not sure if i need the dishwasher running with water to test. Problem is still stuff is located at the bottom of the dishwasher. If I wanted to check the voltage with running water.

You have a dead coil you will have to replace the motor.

Could this have to do with the water to filling up anymore since I took the dishwasher apart to identify the drainage issue?

It's possible that the controller is identifying an open coil and not filling, you should get an error code right away if so. it's also likely that you did not get a connector seated correctly when re-assembling or that the float switch is stuck from having it tippled over. Check all the connections and after setting it back up right, check that that the float switch can move up and down freely.

Thanks for all your help! I will try to replace the drain pump soon.

How can I repay you?

By helping someone else out with a subject you know about when there is an opertunity. i.e. pay it forward. To quote Bill & Ted "Be excellent to each other"
