Dishwasher isn't draining

[Jimmy Sprawls]

I have checked the hoses and taken apart all the removable parts inside the dishwasher. There seems to be no clog anywhere. I also tipped it backward 45° and the water flowed easily out of the drain. I'm not very educated with these things, but it seems like it could be the drain pump. Are there any other possibilities? Is there an easy way to check if that's the problem? Also, is it worth fixing considering it's 12 years old? Any advice/help is much appreciated.

Sure sounds like a failed pump.
But try asking on this forum for "appliances". Be sure to list your manufacture and model number (should be label on door) with your question.
