Default Whirlpool Dishwasher: Motor Hot but Won't Run

Does the motor shaft turn freely? When the motor is
disconnected from the equipment?

The horizontally mounted motor on my 5 year old Whirlpool
Model DP840
dishwasher has stopped running. The sprayer arm rotates
freely when
turned manually. The machine fills and the inlet control
valve shuts
off the water supply at what appears to be the correct
point. The
timer progresses through all the cycles but the motor never
kicks in
and the water never drains out. The motor body feels very
warm to
the touch, so it appears to be getting some voltage. Any
ideas?
