DW fills up (partially), but does not wash Whirlpool WDTA50SAHZ0

Hello everyone, my DW started with this issue following a 2 day power outage a week ago. The DW was running at the time of the power outage and not sure if maybe a control board might have been damaged.
Anyway, the DW fills up partially then stops. The float barely gets wet and the DW does not stop filling because the float switch is activated. Then it sits for a few minutes and then drains. Then it fills up again partially and stops and that’s it. No wash, no nothing. I haven’t actually waited to see if it would drain again after about 3 hours at the end of the cycle.
The DW seems to cycle through. The Inlet is clean and relay is good. The Float moves freely and the switch is also good. The drain cycle works fine, but I couldn’t get the proper reading on the solenoid for the drain pump (but I think it’s fine since I can just force it to drain). I tried metering the wash motor and I was getting 1250 ohms at first which is no good, but then there was a spot where I got 15 ohms twice but it was really hard to get that reading… so I have no idea if the motor is good or not. And I tricked the door latch and same issue.
From what I have read in one of the posts, it is likely the Wash pump that needs replacing, but the partial filling of the tub is suspicious.
Any help would be great,
Thank you in advance for your time
