Dishwashers from this generation are long out of warranty, and repair decisions are mostly about the cost of a single part against the price of a current machine. Timers, float switches and gaskets are inexpensive; a seized motor and pump assembly usually is not worth fitting.
Always isolate power at the breaker before working under the machine, and expect standing water in the sump. If the unit has sat unused for months, a stuck pump sometimes frees itself after a soak, but a technician should confirm the motor is not drawing excessive current.
