Your model number seems to be missing the first 3 digits.
This tells us who actually made the unit, see the following.

Many units use a dispenser with a wax motor, it is fairly common for these to burn out.

Here is a good site with basic dishwasher repair info.

I would check the unit for a mechanical fault also could check the wax motors for resistance. Most of them are around 2,000 ohms.
