Hi everyone ~

Dishwasher does not start but motor hums - the thing is about 9 years
old, Kenmore, and has had no issues until this morning when I tried to
run a load. I latched and re-latched the door, clicked through the
cycle slowly to see if it would engage, and I got nothing but the motor
hum. After 5 minutes, even that stopped. (thermal shutdown?).

What do you think? Motor shot? something jammed that need to be
freed?

Is water coming in? Go to www.applianceaid.com and www.repairclinic.com
for some steps to diagnose. Cold be a bad motor if you have water but
nothing else.
