One more. If the hoses are clogged, would the pump at least hum while it is trying to drain the unit? One that will test outlets should work. You'll have to be able to reach back in there to make the checks, it's hard for me to judge for you whether you can do that without pulling it out or not. Changing the pump wouldn't be considered real difficult. Granted, if the unit was removed from under the countertop it would make it much easier. Yes the pump would still hum if the hoses were clogged. Sorry, but it's hard to give definitive answers in this type format.

Do you not hear the drain pump run at all? If not, and you have a meter you can see if you're getting voltage to it when it should be. If you have power to it and it isn't running, it's bad. Also make sure the hose to it, and from it are clear. Below is the part # along with a link to your model for reference. Part number: AP2109108
