If you decide to replace it, I think that would cost roughly $250 from Amazon.
It’s a little grody, but what happens if you blow on the drain tube in reverse (i.e., lung power)?
Don’t give up yet. This guy fixed a SPT dishwasher with a slow drain just by removing a cherry stem from the drain impeller:
I’d better clean it with alcohol, first–it’s nasty.
Huffed and puffed–blurry vision & dizziness is all.
No change.
As in you couldn’t push any air through? No bubbling on the other side?
Hell no.
Also, there is no way I can move this thing without dropping it.
Bought it in 2016.

Okay. Seems unlikely that drain cleaner would work at this point. I’d suspect the drain valve is closed. Unfortunately, I don’t see any way to manually trigger a drain.
I would try removing all water that you can, with a cup and/or turkey baster, and run a cycle with no dishes or soap. It may just reset once it goes through a cycle.
How about blowing out the drain hose with one of those cans of compressed air used for removing dust from a computer?
I been doing that, as stated above. No good.
I will try.
I must first re-attach the connector.
Sorry. When you said “huffed and puffed”, I assumed you meant you blew through the hose with your mouth.
I did both.
Might maybe–.
I’m hopeful.
A small gleam of hope…
Hope is stronger…
Leaking soap out the cracks.
But do not give up hope.
Cleaned soap out of dispensers.
Still running
