I have tried to manually cycle the timer with no results. I have also tried to find a schematic to see if I could figure out what was in the circuit. Thanks Henry

It might be stuck in the drain position. Remove the solenoid and check if the shaft for the drain gate is moving freely. If not, then the pump has to be replaced. - The part number for the pump is AP2136753 - The part number for the drain solenoid is AP2149163 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Tappan dishwasher Model 61-1147-00-10 Gene.

It ran fine after I did this. I am now wondering if something could have been lodged in the drain flap!!! Thanks again Henry
