Looks like there are 3 coils wired in a Y formation, so the silver rectangles are where they electrical contact is made, let’s call them 1,2, and 3. If you measure across any 2 points you should get the same ( or close) ohm reading. In this set up you are measuring across 2 of the coils so measuring 1 & 2 then 1 & 3 then 2 & 3 should all be simalar and should not read 0 or infinity.

1 & 2, 1 & 3 do not read
2 & 3 reads

You have a dead coil you will have to replace the motor.

This fixed the issue. Dishwasher is working great now. Thank you so much!

Could this have to do with the water to filling up anymore since I took the dishwasher apart to identify the drainage issue?

Blown pump then if you can’t read anything on those pairs. They’re literally physical coils that should always pass current no matter what, and all of the smarts happens inside the control board for making the 215Hz @ 55V & 3A to feed it.
