The dishwasher cycles but won't pump. I've taken it apart to the drive motor several times with no success. All screens are clean and clear. The washer fills and the impeller shaft and impeller turn as they should. The impeller and impeller housing look good, but no water pumps through the housing into the sprayer inlets. It's got me stumped. Does anyone know a solution?

Do you hear the motor running when it should be circulating the water?

Yes Doc, I've confirmed the motor is running with the impeller turning.

Your model number is missing 1 digit towards the end. Either the pump has a failure or something is clogged. You will have to inspect the pump components closely to see what has failed. Have you confirmed that the dishwasher is filling up with enough water for the pump to function?
