We need more information on where the "hum" is coming from. Has the OP taken off the lower front panel so he can access the pump/motor with a listening stick to be certain what is humming??

I took out the motor E47088 Model 5KCP122E1AX and put a load across the wires. It did not react.
I missed it

is it possible to repair such a motor, ie have the windings redone? How much would that go for? $100?? P / N 6918243 model 5Kcp122e1ax

Do you mean you applied POWER to the motor and it did not react?
Or do you mean you put another LOAD, like a light bulb across the wires that feed the motor and it didn't light?
I would think that an electrical motor shop would tell you that they rebuild small, cheap appliance motors like that, you just buy a new one. But again, if the motor is shot and you're also having problems with the touch pad not always responding, indicator lights not lighting up fully, etc how much $$ do you want to put into a 10 year old dishwasher? If you're sure what it takes to fix it, know what you're doing and it's a reasonable amount, I can see doing it. But if it's $100 for this, $75 for that and you're still not sure that is all that's wrong with it, then it may not be worth it.
Yes, I took an old powercord and attached the grounded side to the green line and the other side to the other prongs. BTW, I tried this first to another smaller motor which drains the water and it worked.
The form factor on these motors is different, so its hard to just find another one. I found one on EBay, so I'll see if it works.
