Hello Adam, for the past couple of hours my daughter and I have been talking long distance concerning her Whirlpool dishwasher that wont drain . I thought it might be the pump and offered to buy a pump and send it to her. She didn't want to just replace parts hoping to get it working. I then offered to buy her a new dishwasher and that did not go over well. We logged onto this video and after checking just about everything, she checked the outlet to the pump directly across from the sensor. I suggested placing a small mirror next to the pump inlet and she found a large amount of detergent build up blocking the pump. She broke that loose and flushed out the particles of material. she put it back together and the machine works great. THANK YOU very much, you are our hero indeed. I am 80 years old and just talking through all that made me tired. Again Adam thanks so very much for all your help....Ken Marina CA retired Vietnam vet.

Had the exact same issue (small piece of broken glass caught rolling in drain pump and blocking the impeller ). Had a hard time removing the tiny shard but I managed to do it by pouring a glass of water in the filter hole and activating the drain pump on the command dashboard. The water helped push the shard outside the drain pump. Adam, many many thanks for this video and your precise instructions. It helped immensely.

You saved me at least an hour. So clear with the description and pictures Thank you.

I have to say you probably saved us a ton of money! A glass broke inside our dishwasher the other night, and that's when it stopped draining. Even though we had picked up what we thought was All the glass! Anyway, did all you said, it worked for about 30 seconds, then grinding noise, then a humming.....Took the motor pump apart, it just unclicks very easy and sure enough there was an inch square of glass stopping it from turning! These things always happen when you're just out of warranty or repair coverage! Thank you for your videos! Couldn't have done without you, your video is clear and very easy to understand! Subscribed!

I love that videos like yours are available! So helpful to SO many people. Gives me courage to tackle things myself before calling in the pros.

Thanks Adam! Fantastic work, saved us lots of time! We followed your video and piece by piece we checked our dishwasher to see why there was a clog. Eventually, we had to pull it out to it's side, remove the drain pipe entirely and run water through it to find bits of glass that were clogging it (which explains why we didn't see any clog in the pipe when we ran a light by it).

THIS VIDEO SEEMS SO COMPLETE AND WELL DONE THAT IT ACTUALLY PUT MY PROGRESS BACK BY MONTHS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE VIDEO HAS COVERED ALL THE SIMPLE POSSIBILITIES. AND NOBODY MENTIONED IT IN THE COMMENTS!! THE AIR GAP CAN BE CLOGGED! SO BEFORE GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY, LOOK UP A VIDEO ON THE AIR GAP AND GIVE THAT A TRY. I CANT BELIEVE HOW MANY HOURS I HAD WASTED IN MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. IT WAS LITERALLY A 2 MINUTE FIX!

Thank you Adam. I called tech to service my dishwasher but did not show up due to stay home order for Covid19. I followed your instructions, i found some blockage in pump area, clean it and it worked. Thank you Again for making these videos to help others.

Thank you very much for posting this video - you showed me exactly what I was looking for (that its ok to disconnect that hose going into the pump, but only after emptying any water). Very helpful, you're doing a great service to humanity here :)

Adam, I remembered I had a very long tweezers with bent end used for threading my serger sewing machine. I was able to use the tweezers to get two pieces of glass out. And also there was a large piece of glass in the impeller. Thanks soooo much for your video! I would never have attempted this myself without it.

Adam, I don't believe I have ever left a comment on a KZread video. I go to YT all the time for diy videos. i just got done watching both of the dishwasher draining videos and they are THE BEST YT diy videos I have seen. Your production and editing is television worthy. I know just where I will be checking first for my diy help videos from now on. In fact I am going to promote you on my FB page. Now... let's go see if I can get my dishwasher drain working.

This is probably the best, most helpful appliance video I've ever watched - and I've watched a lot. Someone on KZread can't know my problem, and the gentlemen in this video very clearly and simply explains how to troubleshoot. Well done and thank you!

This was very helpful! I found glass wedged in the flap in the outlet hose. The glass go through the pump and then the wedged into the check valve flap. Thank you for making this video!

I too, would like to add how clear, concise and easy this video was to follow. I was so very happy to find it! The best part was, it’s the exact dishwasher we have, so that made things even easier. Thank you very much for sharing! My daughter recently paid $220 for an appliance guy to fix her dishwasher, so this was quite the find! I would add for anyone who has a garbage disposal (and a shop vac) to disconnect the hose from the garbage disposal instead of underneath the bottom of the dishwasher. It was easier for us to get to, do we just extracted the water out of the hose with the shop vac. Easy pezzy! Now it is working perfectly! Thank you again for your video!

Our dishwasher (WDT780SAEM2) has been working great for years now, until last night it didn't drain during a wash. With milky white water in the bottom, I wasn't sure what I could do or even where the drain was. Your video showed me where the strainer was and how to take it out. Though it was indeed pretty badly gunked up, I also checked the drain hose near the disposal and saw a blockage through the translucent plastic. I removed the end, poked out the obstruction, replaced the hose, and started a new wash cycle, to hear the sweet sound of water draining! Ahhh, success! No ridiculous repair bill, either! I LOVE the fact that this guy is American made in Ohio, too!

Really appreciate the good camera work and clear instructions. Thanks!!

Another success story! I followed Adam's instructions and like so many others, found a piece of glass in the pump. It did not come out easily, but I finally managed! Thanks for saving us the cost of a service call, or even worse, a new dishwasher! Great video!

Really appreciate this man. The property I work at just got a shipment of these old ones in to install in our “upgrades”. Right off rip had residents telling us they were having issues. This video resolved 7 work orders for me today. Thank you

One happy mama!!! Thank you!!!!! I actually fixed my dishwasher. I've been trying to get someone to help me look at it for quite awhile now. Always seemed to fall on deaf ears. Googled a solution and your video popped up! Instantly my problem was solved, I did have to unclog the hose in the bottom but, it worked! Yay!

This helped me immensely. Clear cut and precise. Thank you!

excellent instructions. Saved the day and some dollars! on my dishwasher the water was not draining. I followed the steps to remove the screen and filter. then used a glass/cup that fits into the hole for the screen to remove the collected water 1 cup at a time. Finally used a sponge to soak it all dry. Next I followed the instructions to check for clogs. Found nothing. I put my finger in the hole to reach for the little wheel in the pump and turned it a couple of times. Finally I turned on the dishwasher in the Drain/cancel mode. and the little wheel turned and I could see it spitting out debris. On closer inspection I found the culprit. it was the little twig like things that attach to grapes. It must be my wife!! she is careless about what goes into the dishwasher!

Thanks so much for this clear and detailed video. I ended up having a piece of glass stuck in my impeller and i was able to take it out easily and on my own! Cheers!

Thank you sir, just knowing what to look for helped me find a piece of plastic that was restricting drainage but not stopping altogether. 🤙🤙

Clear, easy to follow instructions - a piece of broken glass in the impeller is what the issue was - I must say "just squeeze the hose clamp" didn't work but pliers did. So glad to not have to pay a service call! And meanwhile I think I'll be cleaning my filters pretty often! Thank you for your video!

I'm dogsitting this week in a house with a dishwasher like this. The amount of slime in the filter is incredible. The slime flaps had slime flaps. I popped the bottom arm off like you instructed, and that's equally grody. A trip to the store tomorrow to get some cleaning supplies to get it un-grodified. Great video!

Awesome video Adam, you saved my day. My Whirlpool wouldn't drain. Filters were clean so I followed your instructions and removed the hose on the bottom. Turned the impeller a couple times and found the culprit... a small piece of plastic. What it actually is and how it got past the filter... still a mystery to me! All I know is my dishwasher now drains and it didn't cost me a dime... thank you Adam!

Like you, what this is from and how it got past the filter is beyond me.

Thanks. I'm sure I speak for many whirlpool owners.. This seems to be a common problem.

Perfectly described and right on the mark! Beats the user guide hands down. Whirlpool should being paying you.

The basket was clean but basin would still not drain. Pulled off the rubber elbow like your video suggested and there was a thin strip of plastic stuck in the impeller housing. Pulled it out, reattached the rubber elbow and dishwater works perfectly again. Thanks Adam! Saved me a $200 service call.

This was SO helpful, thank you. For anyone else doing this, after you’ve cleaned the filters, run the drain cycle to see if that fixed it. Mine wasn’t draining after I cleaned the filters so I thought I would have to call someone. Nope, run drain cycle.

I am curious how much drain water should be left in the "cup" where the filter and sensor are? I always have water in it and now it is starting to get a bit higher and wondering if I am having a pump problem.

If you find this out, then please post what you find. I took my entire washer apart, made sure everything was clean and cleared. Water still in the bottom after a wash cycle. I replaced that sensor shown, still same. If I push the "drain" button, it drains which demonstrates to me the pump is working and not clogged. Alls I know for certain is that dirty water sits in the bottom and starts to smell after washing the dishes. Don't know if this is "normal" and if I'm chasing a ghost.

I had the same issue. Same error code as well. I ran through the cycle, opened the door after it drained and there was steam when I opened the door. I could not believe it. I did nothing else. I spent 2 hours cleaning and scratching my head. Then I saw your video. THANK YOU!!!! Very well done!

I followed these instructions for my Kenmore Elite b/c they had the same interior. I had to un-attach both ends of the drain hose. The disposal end was clogged with gross mildewed chunks, and the end going to the washer drain was clogged with a clear plastic label from new glasswear AND there was a toothpick in the impellor. All back together and it works like a champ! Great video. Saved me a repairman call! I only have one small white o-ring left that must have come from the drain hose. Next time....

great detail and explanation! thanks!

Thank you so much Adam! Saved me mucho $$$! Perfect video, and you're a natural for this! Thanks again!

Excellent 'how to" presentation: voice tone, modulation, pace and great camera work. I was lucky that the dishwasher in the video is the same as mine. Regularly (weekly) cleaning the filters in the bottom as he demonstrated will prevent almost al of the draining problems. Once a month do a one hour cycle with a six cup bowl of vinegar on the top rack.The regular maintenance will add years to the machine and you'll get cleaner dishes. With the newer improve soaps dishes are amazingly clean and shiny compared to machines twenty years ago. I live where the water is soft, so I do not need water treated. There's lots of dishwasher models with excellent reviews.

Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. After following them step by step, I eventually found a piece of broken glass impeding the impeller in the drain pump. After removing it and starting another short cycle, the dishwasher again shut down at beginning of the drain cycle. Removed the hose one more time to find another piece of glass. Alas, the problem is fixed and the drain cycle is working. Your video is greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for this video, it saves us a lot of money :)

I rarely leave comments. But I have to say a big THANK YOU! I live alone in Germany and still not mastering the language. It was really disgusting inside my dishwasher as all the water was not draining and it smelled so bad. I thought I couldn't fix this by myself because I find machines and DIY works are always overwhelming. Eventually it works! I found seeds blocking the propeller and cleaned up all filters there. It is now running smoothly again... it feels so good :D thank you!

Adam, thank you VERY, VERY much for the tutorial. I learned a GREAT DEAL and was able to resolve a problem I had NO CLUE initially about how to resolve. Thank you my friend. 🙏

I had a pastic bread clip stick in the water pump this same Whirlpool model and this video probably saved me $100. Thanks for posting!

Thanks as well. Just like Kevin Blanchard, but I had a piece of the clip that stops the top rack from coming off the rails stuck in the impeller. Took the pump hose off and got the shop vac on it. Thought I was SOL but then saw the plastic piece on the towel I had shoved under the machine to catch the water... I had it in the back of my mind I was into a new washer after I clean out the top side with no luck. You just saved my a call out to the sticks & a tech that would of probably told me I need a new machine as we are on well water... Or some other story... Thanks Again!

Great video…you just helped me fix my dish washer! You even added 2 pieces of info that were of extreme help to my situation. 1. Impeller might be blocked with broken glass.(my wife told me a glass broke during a wash recently and broken glass was indeed jamming the impeller). 2. If you remove the tube connected to the impeller get some towels. There was probably a half gallon of water in my dishwasher so I scooped it out and put down towels. Probably saved my floor boards from rotting and having to move my dishwasher out to clean. I happened to have a silicon cup which was great at helping to get water out of the dishwasher. Thank you very much for posting this video!!

Thanks so much for the help! The tube coming from the pump went to an overflow valve on top of the sink and then down to the garbage disposal -- the tube from the overflow to the garbage disposal was what was clogged for me, but you got me looking in the right locations -- Big brownie points with the wife for fixing it and not having to call maintenance.

Thanks for posting. Saved me a service call from a plumber. A piece of glass was lodged in the pump. Keep them coming.

Just cleaned my water circulator pump after watching the video and similar ones. I had little water spray on the lower rack and none on the upper rack. Cleaned spray arms with vinegar and baking soda and cleaned ports out with metal hanger. The impeller had plastic and gunk blocking the impeller. Had to use a different metal hose clamp when I reinstalled the water pump. There's a rubber bracket that fits onto the body of the dishwasher. Make sure that fits in the slot properly or your main boot will sit offset. Thanks for the video it was a great help.

Even just showing how to remove those extra parts was so helpful! Thanks for the extra effort!

The explanation was very good. The extra time showing disassembly is really helpful. Thanks. I feel like I do not need to do any more looking. I can do so much maintenance just from this.

Besides the video being so amazing, if you take the time to read through all the comments, chances are, you will read something that will help you fix your dishwasher. My filter was nasty. There was nothing blocking the sensor or the hole. Took tube off and was able to rotate the impeller and all was good. Followed the tube and found the culprit. A piece of very thin glass half the size of a dime was stuck at the sink connection. That little bugger made a journey through the entire system. Got a needlenose and pulled it out. And just like that, thank you so much for helping me save 150+ for a tech to come tell me something was wrong with the dishwasher and it had nothing to do with it! AWESOME!

Thanks. There was some plastic and debris next to the impeller where I pulled the elbow off at. I scooped it out with my finger and it's working and draining fine now. I never do reviews. I was just so thankful for this video I had to share. I didn't want to tell my landlord something else was messed up and now I don't have to.

I really appreciate your video . I have a Whirlpool very much looking like the one in your post. It failed to pump the water out.The filters were clean. I disconnected the hose and I felt a piece of glass around the discharge part of the pump. Now the dishwasher works great. Thanks again for taking the time to post.

A very helpful video. There's only one thing missing. If you have one, don't forget the Air Gap. It gathers debris as well. After doing all the above, I needed a service man to show me how to remove the insert with a pair of needle nose pliers and remove the clog, which has stopped the dishwasher from draining. It was a quick, $53 lesson -- but money well spent. Parts and Labor for someone replacing the drain pump I was told would be $500. I consider myself lucky I got an honest serviceman. Mike at Vincent' Appliance Repair in West Hills, California.

I had a slow drain and figured it was the filter, but I had no clue how to check it. The very easy to follow instructions showed me how to remove and clean the filter and check for debris in the hoses. Thank you Adam!

Like everyone else commenting on this video, I'm thankful for this video. I learned how to check the filters and didn't find any blockage. Then I learned how to unclog the drain pump by pinching the metal clips. There was a piece of glass stuck there. Thank you for saving me a service call. You rock!

Like so many others I'm grateful for this video. Found a toothpick stuck in the impeller and we're back in business. Will be handy to know how the spray arms all come out since a few were clogged and I took care of that while I was at it. Works like new - thanks!!

Thank you for this video. No expensive charge from someone fixing an issue caused by lack of maintenance! Now I know what I need to do every few weeks.

Super Helpful Video!!!! I have a dishwasher less than 2 years old. Dishcahrge pump was running so I knew it wasn't fried. after taking off the housing for the impeller whatever blockage was no longer an issue. Easy fix for a Saturday morning.

THANKS! Not just for the video as a whole, but also for getting straight to the meat of the issue!

You’re the man! I really appreciate your video. It saved me at least $250. I was able to blow air through the drain hose back into the dishwasher which made me a little confused. So I removed the hose from the exhaust pump and push the fan a bit. It was just stuck a little bit. This was a result of broken glass. Thanks

Adam, YOU ARE GENIUS!!!! Had to pull drain line, shoved finger in and freed the impeller. Saved some $$$$ THANKS!!!

Great video, thanks for taking the time to show the average home owner how to make a repair.

Hey I just wanted to say thank you!! My dishwasher always made a rattling noise starting about 1 month after I got it. Then a year later (now) it stopped draining. I watched this video and opened up the drain pump thing and found a piece of ceramic wedged in the auger. I removed the piece of ceramic and it started draining again and the rattling is gone! Thank you so much!

Thank you sooo much. I had no idea all of those parts were so easy to get at. They were filthy!! I cleaned them all out and my dishwasher is working again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you so much for this! We were ready to buy a new dishwasher but after opening up the filters I realized I could clean the gunk out and it works again!!!

One of the best videos I've ever watched on youtube. Congratulations.

Thank you Adam. Very clear video and did not waste any time with filler type verbiage. Straight to the "how to" steps. Just what i needed.

Appreciate the simpleness of this tutorial. I had posted in a FB group and people were saying buy a new one, etc. It was as simple as cleaning the filters as you show.

Thank you!!! This video is 100% amazing. I thought for sure that there was no way there would be something in my pump and that it would be a blog but I was wrong. There was a sliver of a plate in there. Unreal. Also, for emptying, I stuck a heavy duty garbage bag around the hose once unhooked with towels behind and underneath. Worked really well.

Thank you. I have removed the filter basket before and cleaned it. You just taught me that the other filter, the half round, pops out. I did not know that and that is what badly needs cleaned. So, A+ on your helpful video. Thank you! 🤓

Who could possibly dislike this video. So informative, thx.

Great video! Although my problem ended up being a plug in my new garbage disposal that I never removed, now I know how to do some light disassembly of my washer and clean the filters

Thank you! I’ll be the first to admit that I am about the least handiest person when it comes to fixing things around the house...I followed these steps and fixed my dishwasher in under 15 minutes!

Thanks for the video. Mine was identical except a Kenmore. Tip for others, I did not have to disassemble the upper sprayer. There's enough give in the plastic to twist the center piece off. Found a small silicone disc in my impeller area. Had to stick my finger in to feel around as nothing was apparent. Interesting enough I found an identical one laying on the floor under the dishwasher. Thanks Adam!

Very helpful video. I bought Whirlpool dishwasher a few days ago and hopefully it keep my dishwasher clean and work well.
