I'd start by connecting a turkey baster to the input hose, the one with the softener attached if you still have that, and gently push water at the pump with the brew lever up and see if it starts pumping. If it won't pump because there's air in it, that has a good chance of clearing it up. Also check to see if all the water is coming back out the return hose which would mean the OPV is stuck open or there is a blockage past the pump. If it's hot and you open the hot water valve till the autofill kicks in and then close it, does the pump stop after a few seconds? That would mean the pump is working and there's probably a blockage in the group. Do you have a way to pull the big nut on the group to check for scale? I used a 3/4 drive 36MM socket and 18" breaker bar, it was a bit of overkill for the amount of force required but with a wrap of tape it fit perfect and didn't leave a mark. I think it's the socket used for pulling the rear axle nut from Volkswagens Beetles and 356 Porsches. Dad drove old Porsches so I have that socket.
