I'm curious if anyone has dealt with a failed dishwasher before?

I've got a basic Whirlpool dishwasher and it stopped circulating water during a cycle. I know for sure there is water, but it's not being sprayed around and the water isn't circulating. Evidence that there is water is because I can hear it fill and if I open it mid-cycle, there's water at the bottom pan, and I can hear it drain. At the end of the wash cycle, I see the dishwasher pod popped out and fully intact. The dishes aren't clean and they are dry from the heat cycle.

My suspicion is the circulating pump is toast. During the cycle, I just hear a light humming sound. The spray arms are clean, including the filter screen. The unit is about five years old. Any leads before I tear it apart? Thanks in advance.
