Kitchenaid dishwasher not filling or discharging?

I have a kitchenaid dishwasher KUDJ23OY serial FC1718586
that seems to cycle
however it doesn't fill at the beginning of the cycle or at the rinse and it doesn't discharge the water at the end of the cycle. If I manually fill it with water it will run but it won't discharge the water into the drain at the end. The machine was make a noise at the beginning of the cycle like a hum and at various points in the cycle

Sounds like several problems.

Fill valve clogged or bad would explain no water. Is the water turned on?

It hums, but does it run? No pump out sounds like bad motor.

All problems could be caused by bad timer. That's expensive. Seems odd, though, that several sections of timer would go out all at the same time.

This is a complicated problem. Would almost need to see it to help.
