Check across the wash motor for 120 volts when it should be washing. If it has 120 volts and does not turn and does not make any noise then the motor is probably toast. With the door open or power removed from the unit you could try rotating the motor's armature using the fins on the back of the motor to see if it is jammed. Though usually a motor will hum if it is jammed and receiving power. If it does not have 120 volts, check the wiring back to the control board to be sure it is OK. If the wiring is OK then the control board is probably shot.
