How can I mend my dishwasher?

I thought you were very polite too! As Lincon said if you hear a slight buzzing noise it could indicate a defective motor capacitor (at best), jammed impellor (worse), or a defective motor (worst). If you don't hear anything it's likely to be expensive.

You sound so polite I only wish I could give you a definite answer. If it fills ok to the correct level then I would say that there is a fault with the wash motor not starting. Could be a damaged wire, faulty motor or no power being supplied down to the motor by the timer or controller. You haven't said what make & model it is that may of helped. Also, can you hear any sounds at all when the water stops? Maybe a slight humming or buzzing noise?
