Any appliance repair guys?

[SupaRice]

So our Samsung DMT800RHS dishwasher is now not working.....again.....  It won't spray water, doesn't even seem to try (no audible pump sounds failure or otherwise) but if you cancel the wash cycle it will pump all the water out and drains fine. Wife had called the repair company due to having a warranty, to find out that the warranty had expired 

Anyway, I wasn't home so I didn't get a chance to talk to the tech... but he said it needs a new "sub sump assembly" (on the quote ticket). Part is listed on the quote at $280.00 +tax + about $200 labor.

I'm fairly handy, cars, computers, all sorts of widgets... Just don't do appliance repair on the regular, but I know how much finesse can be involved....

Looks like maybe this is the part I need?

And this is how to access it?

Am I on the right track here? If I'm running into disaster, back me off the ledge.

I'm not scared to get in there and work on that dude, doesn't look terribly difficult. What am I in for here?

Meh.... appliances are pretty simple.  The hard part usually is just getting it apart without breaking anything else.  From what you describe, I'd remove that pump and check it carefully before I ordered the new part.  Could be jammed with debris or have a broken wire or switch.  Something easily fixed without spending $150 on a part.
