Hi,
The pump on my dish washer is permenantly on. The power switch makes no diference, nor does the program dial. It sounds like it is sucking air through the pump, so I put a jug of water in the base and it cleared it no problem. I will try puting it on its side as recomended in other question above
or it can be a pump priming issue - sometimes removing the machine, rotating at 45 degrees left and holding for a couple of seconds then putting it back again fixes this problem.

you have water in the base and the antiflood switch has operated.lay it on its back to drain base.if base floods again you have a leak or blockage somewhere and need to find it
