Dishwasher Won't Drain

My Frigidaire dishwasher won't drain completely. The pump was replaced, now it washes, but won't drain.
Do I need to replace motor now? it drains straight to the disposal and has has no overflow.

This happened to me one time, and it was a pressure problem caused by caked and collected food from the disposal in the pipe that leads to the drain. I don't know if your problem is the same, but it might be worth checking. I got down under the sink and disconnected the pipe running from the disposal to the drain pipes, and used a coat hanger to poke through it and kinda ream it out. Greasy food seems to make it cake up.
