Just found this and wanted to say this is literally one of the most clear, easy to follow, and logical repair videos I'ver ever seen. Nice work and thank you!

Without exaggeration this is the most helpful YouTube DIY vid I’ve seen. Followed each step to a T and we had the exact same problem! It was wooden chopstick pieces that had gotten snapped off and made their way to the motor. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Also appreciate your conclusion was not only “now you can fix it for yourself next time” but rather “now you can help someone else.” Good on ya!

Explained in a clear, easy to understand manner. Now I have a grasp of how my dishwasher works overall and I can troubleshoot the lines for wherever the blockage is. Thank you!

I feel like I just graduated from Dishwasher Repair University. I don't even own a dishwasher!!! I'm just watching this video for someone else. Now I feel like an elite dishwasher repairman! I salute you BeefMaster!

This video has a better story line than the last 8 Disney movies combined

Thanks a million! I followed every step. Even checking all the pipes under the sink then realized my dishwasher has its own water source, but those pipes were NASTY and needed a good cleaning. In the end it was exactly the same problem. There was a Bobby pin (not plastic fork tine) caught in the pump. This has been a horrible week with things breaking so thank you for helping me fix this "on my own."

You’re reducing the work load for Whirlpool service technicians out there with such an excellent youtube video and clear instruction. Thank you!

This video literally saved me phoning an engineer. The UK dish washers set up is essentially the same. Thank you, so clear and illustrated perfect. Will definitely share this video.

everybody gangster until their dishwasher stop working

Your photography and editing are as good as your advice. I watched this with the sound off while my wife slept and got your meaning perfectly. Thank you!

This video helped me so much. I was able to replace the drain pump, which had two pieces of glass in it. The glass had blocked the pump blades and burned up the motor. Without the video, I probably would've just spent $800-$1000 to replace the dishwasher. Also, I went thru your steps and cleaned my drain hose and garbage disposal, which were nasty and partially blocked at both. Thanks for the video and great job!

This was an amazing repair video. Thank you so much! My dishwasher wasn’t draining and I checked all of the pipes and nothing was clogged. I followed your video step-by-step and when I took the motor off there was a piece of glass stuck in there. I just ran a cycle and it drained properly! Amazing!

[megacanam]

I had already taken the pump completely off the machine put it all back together for it to not work. Then I saw this video where you simply open the pump. Thanks man! Mine didn’t have anything in it. It was just gummed up and needed to be spun by hand to loosen it up, then ran for multiple sanitary cycles, and all good now!

[moodberry]

WOW! You put together a better video than the manufacturer could have done. So professional! Just watch out for those vampires! It might happen again.

[mistytsamwa]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I followed every step EXACTLY!! I couldn't find anything along the way so I took off the motor and I couldn't figure it out! Hiding in the elbow of the drainage house from the motor was one of those oh so trendy stickers that I'm assuming washed off one of my kids' water bottles. Thank you so much!! As a single mom on a budget your video was an absolute blessing!

[HundBlu]

This level of video quality on a video like this is impressive. Good work!

[danielward]

Thank you so much. Our dishwasher stopped draining. I found your video and it was so easy to follow. Turns out I had a piece of glass in the motor and the drain hose. It worked after removing both pieces.

Thank you again, you saved me money on repairs. I really appreciate it.

[fernandamaimo]

You literally save me from paying a lot of money. My filter was so dirty. I clean it and now my dishwasher is working like new. Thank you !!!
