Wash arm does not spin and water is not pumped out. The timer seems to be functioning okay. I don't hear any hum from the motor when I think I should and checking I find 120 volts in. Also, when unit is off I find no motor resistance in those wires. Am I correct in assuming a failed motor? If so should I replace just the motor or the pump-motor unit? I got this dishwasher used about a year ago at a recycle store and don't know its age but it looked newish. Is it worth repairing??

I could not find anything on a 48BA, the following is for a 45BA.
The pumps will be the same

Yes it does sound like the motor is toast.

I would replace the motor and pump.

It may be if it is in great shape but only you can answer that.
The motor/pump is on the first page of the parts.
At over $130.00 it is a pretty hefty investment into it.
