You do need to call in a service to see what is wrong. Do not take out the water so he/she can see the problem.
We have hard water which leaves calcium and/or lime behind. We have had to replace our dishwashers about every five to seven years.

Before you look to buy a new pump or a new dishwasher, check all the lines.
This happened to us...the problem was that somehow (we still don't really know how...probably when it was initially installed) a small piece of bent metal got stuck in the line...at the bend. After a few years of draining, the hard water build up (calcium, lime...whatever) was all backed up in there, so it wasn't draining.
So, check the lines...unfortunately, this means pulling it out and shoving something through there (all the way from the dishwasher to the outlet in the sink...check it all)
If you need a pump, check the papers...sometimes people sell old dishwashers or parts of them because only one part of theirs went out.

If it workes fine the last time you used it, it is more than likely a bad pump. Make sure there are no obstructions inside the dish compartment at the bottom. Could be blocked from inside. Does sink drain ok? If sink is ok and unit worked last time, you need a new pump. Depending on your local repair services, it may be better to buy a new one. Especially if it 5 years old or older.

Most likely the line is plugged. It's a little bit of a pain, but it is fixable, if you're handy. The pump solenoid could also be stuck, but I'd definitely look at the line first. What happens is the pump opens and starts trying to pump, but there is nothing to pump, so it just hums.

Sounds like there's something broken inside. Have you checked the instruction manual section on "when things go wrong" as it usually tells you some potential causes and what to do.
Me, I'd call a repair person.

sounds like the pump is going bad or you have a clogged drain line
