    All, this is good information. Also if you have just installed a new garbage disposal in your sink, make sure the plug is removed. It is really easy to do just a screw driver and a small hammer. You can remove the plug prior to installing the disposal or if it is already installed just put you hand inside and pull the plug out. It’s made of plastic. If you are installing a badger insinkerator, read step 15 in your instruction manual. I didn’t and had water standing in the dish washer. This was the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

    Dishwashers, washing machines, fridges, etc....can be so finicky/fussy to fix. Can end up being something simple, or something horrendous 🤣 (wish the mounting clips/fasteners were made little bit more durable etc...; why, cuz you’d be surprised how many times I go & fix a dishwasher & those things are broken....or just plain GONE!).

    • @davidsmith5599
      @davidsmith5599 5 років тому +1

      Amen brother. Those mounting clips are flimsy and just waiting to slip off or bend off. Horrible quality even on the higher end dishwasher (I am looking at you Miele). The clips should not be poorly manufactured for installation of mainstream washers either. For the uninitiated, if your dishwasher is wobbly, look up at where the DW attaches to the underneath of the cabinet - it's probably not the feet (even though that was part of the problem in the Handyman's fix of this one). Good video. Good use of the shop vac on this one (and your next video) (taught me the versatility of a shop vac).

    • @kingokafor6215
      @kingokafor6215 2 роки тому +1

      Please don't use a drill just use a standard Philips screwdriver the hoses that go to your dishwasher should run through holes that are drilled through the side of the cabinet there's a water supply hose and there should be a clear or maybe solid colored holes it's usually corrugated that will connect to a garbage disposal or the tail piece of the kitchen sink if the dishwasher is not draining try holding the drain option or holding the start option to cancel the operation to see if there's a humming sound if there is a humming sound that would indicate that the pump is still running if the pump is running try disconnecting the drain hose from the garbage disposal or sink drain tailpipe and using approximately 4 to 5 ft of 12 or 14 gauge electrical wire you will need to curl it at the tip to push it through the drain hose that will clear any solid debris from the hose you may require a multi-bit screwdriver such as a 11 in 1 to remove the drain hose from under the sink

    What area are you in? Is there a P-Trap on the ABS? That is the first time I have ever seen a dishwasher drain into an open pipe like that. Most parts of the country require the dishwasher to go through an "air-gap" before draining into the main line and all drain connections should be secured with clamps. Looks like there should be a screen protecting the impeller from debris. I also do home repair and remodeling on the west coast and much of the work I do is following other people around correcting the things they have done improperly.

    2:25 For the love of health and decency... what is your problem?!? I have the thought that this guy did this video just so he could post his 2 minute+ gimmicky garden hose sponsorship advertisement!
    Folks: Do yourself a favor take notes or pictures so you can remember how it goes back together (and do it right away, don't put it off), trust me on this. Another tip, don't wait for a month or longer to address this problem and you won't have to deal with the smell of stagnate water (and try a pair of latex gloves, if you aren't allergic).
    5:54 PS And use extra caution doing this sort of foolishness because if you break your dishwasher's hot water inlet line (very few use flexible hoses) then the result will be a VERY flooded house with a huge amount of water damage and a piss poor time of it explaining to some BS insurance adjuster what in world you were trying to accomplish (by the time you, the plumber or emergency responder finds your main water shutoff valve, HOURS OF BLASTING WATER), if you're lucky! You will not want this situation to happen (think flashing emergency vehicles blocking traffic while parked for hours directly in front of your house, nervous breakdowns, your mate thinking you are an idiot for the rest of your lives together, HOA/neighborhood gossip or worse).

    7:02 ...if you want your dishwasher to load hot water then run your hot water at the kitchen sink until it runs hot before starting your dishwasher otherwise it will load the cold water that has been sitting in the pipe between your water heater and dishwasher (which will likely be the amount that it needs and very little hot water will go into the washing cycles (the hot water will only fill the pipe between those appliances and it will cool off by the time the next cycle comes, the result being that you will be washing your dishes in cool or cold water (unless you DON'T use the energy saver settings or DO use the heating element setting if your system has one))). I have the idea that you will understand the situation and how it is occurring now that its been brought to your attention... Best regards.

      kmonnier I was wondering the same thing. It looks like a sandwich bag with a rubber band fashioned on to a dish soap dispenser to catch a soap leak.

    Should be an anti reverse check in that hose. You might have destroyed it by blowing into it so hard.

  • @arcanetrigger828
    @arcanetrigger828 5 років тому +14

    should be a check valve built into the pump that doesn't allow you to blow backwards like that. (has to be here in Canada maybe different in your location) the filter is fine its a dishwasher not a garburator. large foods and solid items should be removed from the dishes before they go in. anything the soap cannot break down the dishwasher, by design will attempt to flush down the drain. also if the pump is running with the door open as it was in the video, it means that your flood switch has been tripped.

    Love this. My wife said, “if he’s smelling the hose, he’s not afraid of work”. She’s white collar, I’m not. She appreciates what you’ve done vs a salesman telling me we need me 2 new motherboards… one I’ve already purchased. I’ll follow up if this does it. I found a string in my blender head (different unit).

    Hey handy man nice job figuring that out. I have installed many dw and inspectors here in florida want dw drain line coming from up top as close to top as you can then loop or have a lift and drop to keep from having water back flowing from sink back into dw and not draining right . Some counties want line strapped or zip strip holding high or holding loop. Good video ! Till the next one !

    • @asterizk
      @asterizk 4 роки тому

      Thank you very much for the tip about the loop! My dishwasher was continually getting stinky and we couldn't figure out why. My dishwasher discharge line ran straight dishwasher to the disposal.. and I'm guessing it doesn't have a checkvalve in it to prevent flow from the sink into the dishwasher. Didn't have enough line to create a loop, but pinned the line up high, very close to the countertop and well above the disposal... it's been about two weeks now and the stink is minimal!! We've been washing dishes by hand in that time... there was still a little stink left in the dishwasher tonight when we looked for the first time so we're going to re-run it tonight to clear that out and get a better "stink baseline", but I think I'm going to go ahead and call this a win! Thank you again

    This worked. I couldn’t blow into it so I took my shop vac and sucked it out. Then I could blow into it, granted it’s really hard to get bubbles but I saw hope. Kept adding water and sucking it out with the vac. Great quick fix thanks!
