Whirlpool WDT750SAHV - Incomplete cycle and potential motor issue

***Edit :*** The issue was resolved by deeply cleaning the circulation pump, which I had to dismantle. I also took the opportunity to clean the drainage pump and the turbidity sensor. Thank you for your help!

Hi!
I am reaching out for some guidance on my Whirlpool dishwasher, model WDT750SAHV, which has been showing some inconsistent behavior lately. I have observed a few issues and conducted some preliminary diagnostics:
* Initially, I noticed that the detergent tablets were not dissolving completely, and there was some residual moisture inside. Currently, only the 1hr wash cycle seems to function properly.
* With standard programs (e.g., Normal), I hear the drain engage, water enter, and then a long period of silence. It seems like the dishwasher thinks it's washing because I eventually hear the soap dispenser open. However, there are extended periods of silence, intermittent sounds of water, and at the end, some dishes are still slightly wet.
* I managed to run the diagnostic mode, which returned error 4-3. While I couldn't find the tech sheet for my specific model, a similar model's tech sheet (WDT790SAYM) suggests this might indicate an issue with the wash motor (not running). This is puzzling because the 1hr wash program appears to operate normally.
* During diagnostics, I hear a sound that seems to indicate the motor is trying to start but might be obstructed.
* I have cleaned the turbidity sensor, filters, and checked for any obstructions.
* The heating element seems to function as it gets very hot during drying (sometimes).
* I plan to repair it myself and have considered ordering the "Pump and Motor Assembly W11087376" but the part is quite expensive, and I want to exhaust all other possibilities first.
* There was an incident of water leaking from the door during a cycle, which I promptly stopped. I'm concerned about whether this could have affected the electrical components, although issues with the dishwasher existed before this incident.
Given these observations, I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on further troubleshooting steps before proceeding with purchasing new parts. Could there be an underlying issue I might be overlooking?
