Dishwasher fills with water
water heats up
motor fails to start-- no wash water spray into wash chamber
motor works and pumps waster out down the drain correctly
heater works
is there a device failure which prevents the motor from pumping the water into the wash chamber
there is the sound of some sort of electrical device apparently jammed although the motor works when draining the device.

Most likely the wash motor has seized or something is in there.. the drain has its own seperate pump/motor assy.. You will need to remove the top of the pump inside the dishwasher to get to the chopper area..
