I have a Jenn-Air dishwasher-Model # DU486-about 9 years old. It stopped draining and there is a burning smell at that time of the cycle. Checked the hose and impeller-they seem fine.Next, looked at the motor- it is running but not reversing. My husband thinks that the only course of action is to replace the motor/pump system (which will cost around $200.00). Wanted to make sure there wasn't something we were overlooking-I have read info. that suggests the wiring or timer might need to be checked...? And if replacing the motor is the only alternative, would it be better just to get a new, inexpensive dishwasher? Any advice on repair or recommendations for replacement greatly appreciated
