Does the motor/pump work at all, spraying water around inside? If yes, and there are no clogs, check the drain solenoid - it should actuate a valve that directs the pumped flow of water through the drain pipe instead of the sprayers.

I can hear water spraying inside yes.
Drain solenoid – I’m new to this stuff, how would I go about checking if it actuates a valve?

Prepare for mess, you can try and go in the back but it’s likely clogged with shite beyond what santize mode can deal with.

Just responded. The tubes are fine. The filter, and as much as my hand can get into just after the filter.

They sell what’s called “plumbing snake”, cheapest is about $10, maybe that could reach further. I think the commenter before was alluding to moving the unit out from the wall and checking the back of it, but before doing so switch off as many breakers as you can because the appliance will be hardwired and in fact you might not be able to even pull it out until after you’ve disconnected the wires by hand.
Have the exact same dishwasher and had a similar problem at the beginning of the year. After days of troubleshooting, ended up having to call for a repair unfortunately. I believe in our case it was both the pump and impeller (the parts that take the water/sludge and get them out of the dishwasher, not the water filling it)
