I think you're heading for a new motor-pump assembly

I took apart and cleaned the food shredererer; got out some plastic, broccoli stumps, etc. Works better and makes more noise (water jets perhaps). If this doesn't completely heal the dishwasher then on to that motor-pump assy, domo ari-the-gheckos!
