** for the next step, the dishwasher just runs, you should hear water splashing, but all you hear is the motor running. **
If you open the door at that point, how high is the water level compared with the heating element?
** I have a Kenmore Ultra wash III **
I'm afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact *model number* ("Ultra wash III" isn't it). If you post that information we can at least look it up to see what appliance design you're dealing with.
