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.

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.
