When you say "trips out" do you mean the circuit breaker trips? If so the breaker in the electrical box may be bad. Also do you have anything on that circuit pulling high amps when the dishwasher is running? Also when does it "trip out" during a pump cycle or when the heating element cycle starts?
If the pump does not work at all then the pump may have went out. If it happens when the heating element cycle starts then it may be the circuit is overloading or the breaker is bad.
It could be a faulty pump,
rusty pump & moisture on copper windings leaks active, neutral back to earth on your pump & trips your breaker.
Solution: Replace pump.
Remove pump and check for something stuck in the impellor assuming that it has one. You didn't say what you are working with. So, sounds like something clogged or stuck in what ever it is that you are pumping. If that is not the case then you have a bad pump motor.
The motor may be repairable. Check with local electric motor repair shops in your area. The motor may need to be replaced though and if so, we sell it at www.arrowmotor.net
If the seals are damaged, water will leak into motor section and cause GFI to trip and yet the pump will seem that it is running fine if plugged into a non-GFI receptacle
ASSUMING THIS IS SINGLE PHASE HAVE YOU CHECKED THE CAPACITORS. START CAPACITOR COULD BE BAD OR BURNT LEAD. HAVE YOU MADE SURE THE PUMP IS NOT LOCKING UP. POINTS IN THE PRESSURE SWITCH LOOK GOOD. HOPE THIS HELPS, JODY
