Have you checked the water feed circuit in this order:

1. Turn off water feed supply (usually under sink or nearby wherever the plumbing is.
2. Disconnect water feed pipe at the dishwasher and place end of pipe in a bucket.
3. Slowly turn on water supply. Is water coming out of the pipe freely and at pressure.?
if not fixed…
4. Remove dishwasher side panels to access the water inlet valve – where the pipe was removed above – and remove the valve. Inspect for blocked filter.
if not fixed…
5. Using a 12v power supply or battery, attach patch leads to the inlet filter solenoid and check it clicks and moves when power supplied.
if not fixed…
6. Refit inlet valve, and reconnect water feed pipe.
7. Remove water inlet pipe to wash motor – the wash motor will be the big motor. Put end of pipe in a tub/tray
8. Test using a wash cycle. Is water coming out of the pipe? Also, typically there will be a fill reservoir in-between the motor and inlet valve; it is usually plastic , quite long, and located at one side of the dishwasher. You will see it fill up when powered on. Is it filling ?
if not fixed…
9. Turn off wash cycle.
10. Remove wash motor cover. Check impeller fans for blockage.
if not fixed…
11. Refit cover to motor and refit inlet pipe to motor.
if not fixed..
12. Might be a main float and filter unit problem. The big plastic bucket thing with cylinders. These are made to all sorts of specs and needs to be removed, opened and cleaned – often needing the floats inside to be cleaned – and retested to spec.
if not fixed
13. It’s not a water feed issue – or unlikely to be , so , come back with the REAL problem or..

BUY A NEW UNIT

Yes, lots of work, but welcome to diagnosis. Except 12, none of this is difficult and can be done by any simple handyman/DIYer. No special tools needed but you may need a good set of wide circlip pliers – or maybe use a radiator valve wrench – to remove some of the heavy duty pipe clips. Total time to do ALL of the above would be around 45minutes from start to end .

EDIT:
Forget it, the bracket is part of the float assembly.

SOLVED

It was the flood float. The mounting clips on the base of the unit had broke , the float was not level, the system thought water was in the bottom tray (flood) so was trying to pump the water out.

Just need to find where I can buy the clips to mount it:

SOLVED !! Disassembled from the bottom to gain access to water pump and pipework. Both full of crud. Works like BRAND NEW.
