Had the same problem with my Samsung dishwasher. It's a different model but the same idea. No screws to remove on the bottom panel and the pump housing turns to the right to remove, with no locking devices on the housing, just a friction fit locking system. I also needed to disconnect the water supply line and remove the drain hose from the drain under my kitchen sink due to the way my dishwasher is hooked up. Turns out it was a piece of glass that was in the impeller. The vanes have slight damage but the pump still works. This video was a huge help before I took this project on. There was nothing I needed to guess at while disassembling it. For anyone with basic mechanical aptitude this is a do-able repair. Thank you!
That's awesome you were able to get it fixed. It's crazy how one component can stop the entire system from running. Good thing that troubleshooting and repairing it is reasonably doable. Take care, and thanks for checking out my video :)

Great video. My dishwasher was unable to work for a year. I was actually getting ready to buy a new one. I figured I’d follow your lead as one last stitch effort. To my surprise there was a huge rubber band wrapped around my impeller (damn kids). It’s running as we speak. Thanks for posting. Huge help.

@Warmageddon Music Ooh, the struggle is real. With our kids we tried getting them different colored cups so they wouldn't fight with each other.

Thank you so much for creating this video. We are in the UK and have a different model of Samsung to you but the principles still applied. We have just fixed our dishwasher by finding a blue gemstone (! we have children..) in our impeller. We are over the moon at not having to call out the plumber.
Hi Camilla, that's outstanding that you were able to get it fixed. There's nothing like the feeling of figuring out how to get something to work again 😁
thanks for a great video!!! i have a different model, but symptoms were the same, the culprit in my case was the end of a chopstick stopping the impeller… dishwasher is back up and running… took me maybe 30 minutes!!! thank you again!!!
Thanks for the great video! Mine is a different model, but the inside was nearly identical. Rocked out the repair this morning before the kids woke up… thanks for saving us some money!
@zackery773 oh dang, that seems to be a common failure mode for these systems. Well, if it happens again in the future, it's nice having that peace of mind knowing that you can get it fixed on your own. Thanks for checking out my video, I appreciate you leaving a comment 👊
The layout in my machine is completely different, but the components look similar/the same. Thanks a lot, you saved me money and time from having to get it repaired. My obstruction actually was wedged in the hose directly AFTER the impeller. No idea how it got through the pump, but it explains why it pumped some liquid but not all of it.
Interesting, that's great that the parts were similar enough to help troubleshoot your system. What was the obstruction that you removed? Do you know where it likely came from?
Thanks for saving me the cost of a new machine which was what I thought was needed. A little porcelain chip from a broken bowl was the culprit. Thanks again!!!
This is great information and advice. One other thing to check before disassembling the dishwasher is the drain vent at the top, usually located on the sink. Sometimes that will get clogged with hair and lint and prevent the system from draining. The indication of this is that when you disconnect that drainpipe it'll still be full of water. That's a pretty good sign that the drain vent is plugged.
Absolutely agree. There have been times where I've let dishes hang out in the sink for a while and food debris has gotten washed into that opening. I've used a chopstick to clear the clog in the past. Is there a tool or technique that you'd recommend?
@mikefromwa - I disassembled the dishwasher tube from the sink drain and a small dime sized rubber tab fell into my bucket. It still had adhesive on it, so I knew it detached from some item we washed. It looks like a rubber sticker that is found under a cutting board to keep the cutting board from sliding. The heat from the machine loosened the adhesive and it ultimately became stuck where the dishwasher tubes connects to the sink drain. No more draining issues. Thanks @karatefox and @mikefromwa.
I watched this video and thought for sure this was going to be the issue, but it did turn out to be my air gap on top of the sink being clogged. Definitely would have saved me hours of work and dissembling the dishwasher if I had thought to check that first. Check air gap first!!!
Mine had a piece of broken glass! Not the same model (mine is DW80K7050), but same problem. I had to figure out some steps by myself on my model, but I would never had go that far without this video. Thanks a lot!!!
That's awesome you were able to get it fixed. It's crazy to think that a small piece of glass, or in my situation a piece of plastic, can make the entire system shut down. Thanks for checking out my video.
You're not going to believe this but I was watching this video and when you popped off the impeller and that white chunk was in there I was thinking "I wish it was that easy. There's no way I open this and it's that obvious." But, I popped off the impeller (mine went counter clockwise) and there was a chunk of broken plate sitting in there. I was amazed. I put it all back together and it worked like a champ! Thanks so much for this video!
Did the same thing and worked. The impeller was squeaky clean and no broken plastic debrids. However, it seems that this procedure reset the dishwasher and now it's working. Thanks alot!
Interesting, perhaps just turning off the power somehow reset the warning sensor. It's probably a good idea to still keep an eye on it just in case the sensor trips again. Please let me know how it's working or if you figure out why the sensor was tripping.
Samsung dishwasher dw80k7050ug not draining 5E error. Quite a bit different model than the one in this video but the exact same issue. One of the screw tabs that mounts the dishwasher on the side was lodged in the impeller. You saved me a crap ton of money good sir. Thank you.
Thank you! My dishwasher wasn’t draining and I was planning to go through all the steps but then my garbage disposal stopped working. I used vinegar/baking soda, and boiling water to clean it, reset the garbage disposal and then tried the draining cycle on the dishwasher and it worked! I could see the water draining into the garbage disposal drain. If it stops working again, I’ll be sure to refer to this 😊
Awesome, I'm happy you were able to get it figured out and working. Likewise, thanks for sharing the troubleshooting steps utilized. Hopefully people will see this comment and feel less stressed. 🤔💡
This video really helped me. A piece of broken glass just smaller than a penny was stuck in the impeller. Like you said, I could hear motor humming but not turning. The pump came apart easily and the impeller housing is shredded from the glass. Now that it's all put back together this gleaming, practically new machine I got for free will replace my crusty old one. Thanks a lot! Wonder how the glass got past the filters......
That's awesome you got it fixed. I'm guessing a glass may have been dropped in the sink and a piece broke off, washed down the drain and went into the drain tube of the dishwasher. Especially if the garbage disposal was turned on, as the spinning blades could have flung the piece of glass around in the drain until being flung into the drain tube of the dishwasher. In any case, thanks for checking out my video 👊
Useful video. It might help some people to know that exactly that same pump is fitted to quite a few machines - including my 5 year-old Teka, and can be purchased as a spare part for less than $50, and then fitted just as you show in your re-assembly.
That's good to know. Perhaps it's like an industry standard to use that part. It's a sturdy little impeller, and mine has weathered a few jam-ups already. Perhaps Samsung should evaluate their drain design and add a better filter to further prevent foreign material from colliding with the impeller. It seems to be a common failure mode.
Yes, but I suspect the only way something big gets from machine chamber to pump is if the filter is not absolutely secure in its housing - it's easy to leave it loose, then the water jets will probably move it around. We've had glass fragments get through ours when we have left it a bit loose. That model pump does seem to be used a lot and (oddly..) it's price seems to vary with manufacturer of dishwasher, even though the part seems identical (and I'm sure it is). I see that some US stores ask almost $200 if you are fitting it to a Samsung but I can find what seems to be the same part in Europe for less than EUR 30! Thank goodness BMW don't make a dishwasher. If anyone out there looks to do a replacement, it will be well worth digging around a little. I did something even more miserly. My impeller shaft had corroded and the impeller sheared off - everything else was OK. I found a new pump for less than $15 and realised that the electromagnet internals were almost identical - a bit of sawing with the Dremel, and a little patient epoxy application and it's as good as new. It took a few hours and I would have preferred to replace the whole pump if I could have found one with quick delivery but I couldn't, and I don't like washing dishes.
@johnhorsfall9623 That's some next level MacGyver stuff right there 👊 I think that's awesome. As far as I'm concerned, as long as a repair works it's good. How's your water inlet valve doing? Those things seem to break pretty frequently too. But yeah, it's always a good idea to shop around for parts because the price can vary quite a bit from one website to another.
That's awesome you were able to get it working. Thanks for checking out my video. It's a great feeling knowing I've been able to help someone navigate through the process. Hopefully now it'll be easier to troubleshoot if a similar issue happens again.
yep, there was a piece of glass wedge in the impeller Stopping it form moving. your video was the first one to show the motor pulled apart and something crammed in it. Thanks much.!!!!
That's awesome you were able to figure it out. Thanks for checking out my video and feel free to reach out if you need help troubleshooting in the future 👊
Wow well done. my Samsung dishwasher, and washing machine both had issues, after 2 weeks they decided to tell me there was a re call on my washer. Now we tackle the dishwasher
It can be stressful when multiple appliances have issues at the same time. Hopefully things will be up and running for you soon. Thanks for checking out my video :)
Hi Ming Su, thank you for the kind words. I like taking a systematic process-based approach to analyzing things. Hopefully the video was able to help out. Thanks for checking it out.
@jwylde7 Interesting, it seems like hard plastic fragments are fairly common. Once again, excellent work for getting your system working again. Feel free to reach out if you need help troubleshooting in the future 👊
Thanks for checking out my video. Please let me know how it goes and likewise feel free to post any questions you have about troubleshooting the dishwasher situation.
I'm happy the video helped to troubleshoot things. I wonder what caused the blades to fall off? Did you find any large pieces of glass or hard plastic when you opened things up?
I'm glad it worked out for you. Mine's still working for now, but I think it's normal to have the machine breakdown every once in a while. Thanks for checking out my video.
I have a slightly different unit. This video still helped. That said, I found nothing wrong with anything. I took apart all the items underneath mine and they all look moderately clean. So annoying.
Thanks for checking out the video. My intuition is telling me that the act of switching off the power to the unit probably helped reset the sensor. In any case, I'm glad my video was able to help you out.
That's awesome you got it figured out. Dang, a broken measuring spoon handle. Do you have a garbage disposal unit set up? If so, hopefully the blades are doing ok.. in any case, that's great you found the root cause and got it working 🙂
Thanks for checking out my video, that's awesome you were able to get things working. Just out of curiosity, was there a piece of plastic jamming your impeller, or was there a different issue?
@@karatefox it basically came unattached from the proper, so it was running but no water was moving. Snapped it back on and has been working agian. Thanks again!
@@karatefox I'm not entirely sure, it may just have disconnected somehow. I didn't see a piece of plastic like yours, but the fix was exactly the same, Thanks again!
Hey man really nice video seems like the same troubleshooting steps I’d go through. I’m having the same issue and I’m positive this is the problem thanks man
Thanks for the kind words, Steve. Hopefully you can get your dishwasher up and running. Please feel free to share any bits of advice or questions you might have along the way.
Great video man! Really helpful! I still haven’t found the root cause of my dishwasher not draining properly but I did remove the impeller and it was actually pretty clean. The only concern I have is that my impeller did not want to spin like yours did. It would only spin about half a circle on both directions. I didn’t want to force it because I thought that maybe that’s how it was made but do you think something is causing it to not spin freely ?
Interesting, it sounds like there may be something jamming the impeller from the inside. How old is your system? When was the last time that it was working? What does it feel like once you turn the blades of the impeller? Is there friction after the half turn or does it just feel stuck like something isn't allowing it to make a full revolution?
It might be the magnets in the motor that give fairly stiff resistance every half turn - that's what they are supposed to do? But not rigid resistance. If so I guess one of the plastic waterproof seals has broken. It's fairly easy to dissemble and simply have a look inside. Take off the large grey plastic ring by prising gently with a large screwdriver, then grab the white, plastic seals with some suitable grips and pull.
Hey you didnt notice this because you had the impeller housing flipped upside down, but that plastic piece is part of the dishwasher. Im not sure what it does but there is a slot that fits the shape of tbat part perfectly.
@04gtno Oh dang, I've been wondering whether or not that part was from the system. It may be worth noting that my water inlet valve also failed around this time and I ended up replacing that part. I wonder if it might be from there? Thanks for the information, hopefully we can eventually identify what that part does. Since doing my repairs, my dishwasher has been working great so hopefully the part isn't super necessary.
@@karatefox that's great to hear that yours is still working. Maybe that part isn't crucial to normal operation. I just put mine back in, but I'm a little concerned that it might come out again. I can't think of any good reason for that part to pop out, but I did blow compressed air through the back end of the drain tube to see if there was an obstruction, so I'm assuming when I did that it popped that piece out. Did you do anything like that also?
@04gtno Interesting, I didn't try clearing out tye drain tube, but during a different troubleshooting adventure I do remember being a lot of buildup inside the tube, which made me want to replace it-definitely recommend replacing those things every couple years 🤢. It's possible tye part was knocked loose from normal wear and tear from the system vibrating.
I think I just lifted up the float switch and that was enough to make it turn on. You might try turning off your circuit breaker for a few minutes, switch it back on, and then try to run a dishwasher cycle. Usually the system will attempt to drain itself at startup. If nothing happens, it's possible your drip pan is full of water and triggering the system to nit do anything. When was the last time your system was working?
@@karatefox 3 day before I took it apart... looks like it's not draining... I did everything the video said got it running but the dishwasher won't drain
@@BudgetClan It's quite possible there's an issue with the impeller itself. How old is the system? Do you recall when it last worked or if it made any unusual sounds before the impeller quit working?
I'm happy you were able to get it working. Hmm, in terms of the braces to secure the dishwasher, perhaps try these things. First, carefully insert the metal clips into the top slots of the dishwasher frame. Then, carefully slide the dishwasher into the space it goes. Once it is most of the way in, slightly open the dishwasher door by its horizontal handle. This will cause the unit to pivot back slightly and allow the metal clips to slide under the counter top. Then, it's just a matter of wiggling the dishwasher side to side as you guide it all the way back into its space. For the screws, try to find the holes in the wood underneath the counter. Worst case scenario, you could just make some new holes and use a sharpie to mark the area so it's easier to find in the future. Please let me know if this works or if there are specific challenges you're experiencing. Always happy to help 🤔💡
Thanks for the kind words, Payton. I appreciate you checking out my video. Just out of curiosity, what was the specific situation with your dishwasher? How did you get it working again?
@@karatefox A piece of broken glass had lodged in the same spot you found the white plastic piece lodged in your dishwasher! Your video saved us from having to call a repairman--thank you!! Our dishwasher is running just fine today!
@@paytonargaez8189 I'm so glad you were able to get it working again. It's funny how a tiny piece of glass can stop the entire machine from running. Thanks for checking out my video and thanks for the kind words 😁
Thank you for this awesome video. It helped me alot with the disassembly. Mine is doing something similar, after 7 min of working, Normal start blinking and no the water stays inside (no draining), when I first tried to lift the float senor I didn't hear the drain motor humming. Opened it up and the impeller was clean. Dried everything down there but unfortunately the same issue is still there. Any idea? Suggestion on how to troubleshoot the drain motor. Thank you again!
Thanks for checking out my tutorial, I'll see if I can make some recommendations. When you turn on the dishwasher, do you hear any sort of humming sound or is it completely silent? Also, if you look inside the dishwasher, have you tried unscrewing the drain cover to see if something is stuck clogging the drain? How long have you had the dishwasher? Hope I can help.
@@karatefox thanks for your reply. No there is no sound of humming, its completely dead. However, today i disconnected the drain pump and read the ohms reading across the two terminals. No reading and then I supplied AC 120v to the pump and it didn't move at all.
@@nawraswardia interesting, it sounds like the impeller might be burned out. I'd recommend ordering a new impeller and seeing if it works. If it doesn't, you might want to return it and try some additional troubleshooting. Another thing to take a look at is the drip pan sensor. If you remove the drip pan, you'll notice a circular plastic part with a wire coming out of it. If you unscrew it you might want to check it out; there's a piece of Styrofoam with a sensor on it. It might be stuck in the on-position and is giving a false warning of a flood. When you turn on the dishwasher, does the normal light still flash?
Excellent question. I suspect it came from the water inlet valve because that part ended up failing about a month later. But I'm not completely sure. Have you ever seen a part like that before?
I'm happy you were able to get it fixed. Did your piece of plastic look like mine? I still haven't figured out what that piece is or where it came from. Hopefully, eventually, we'll figure it out.
Happy I could help, Brenda. It's great when we can learn how to do things on our own. It saves a bunch of money and it's fun being able to see how things work. 🤔💡
Luckily ours was just taking out the twist off cap, metal screen and filter tube and then cleaning everything out. We used a wet dry vac to suck out the cavity and that seemed to make it work again. The water drains completely now. That was the first time we cleaned it out since we got it about a year ago. It's going to be a regular maintenance thing now. Probably once a month hurry and clean the cavity out.
@@MakeItMike That's great that cleaning the filter and drain worked. It makes a lot of sense to create a formal preventive maintenance plan. An ounce of prevention saves a pound of correction 🤔💡
Dang that's crazy. Were you able to just slide the impeller blade back on? Did you have to do anything else to make it stay on? Thanks for checking out my video.

Interesting, that's great that the parts were similar enough to help troubleshoot your system. What was the obstruction that you removed? Do you know where it likely came from?
Thanks for saving me the cost of a new machine which was what I thought was needed. A little porcelain chip from a broken bowl was the culprit. Thanks again!!!
That's awesome you were able to figure out the issue, thanks for checking out my video.
This is great information and advice. One other thing to check before disassembling the dishwasher is the drain vent at the top, usually located on the sink. Sometimes that will get clogged with hair and lint and prevent the system from draining. The indication of this is that when you disconnect that drainpipe it'll still be full of water. That's a pretty good sign that the drain vent is plugged.
Absolutely agree. There have been times where I've let dishes hang out in the sink for a while and food debris has gotten washed into that opening. I've used a chopstick to clear the clog in the past. Is there a tool or technique that you'd recommend?
@mikefromwa - I disassembled the dishwasher tube from the sink drain and a small dime sized rubber tab fell into my bucket. It still had adhesive on it, so I knew it detached from some item we washed. It looks like a rubber sticker that is found under a cutting board to keep the cutting board from sliding. The heat from the machine loosened the adhesive and it ultimately became stuck where the dishwasher tubes connects to the sink drain. No more draining issues. Thanks @karatefox and @mikefromwa.
THis was exactly my problem
@@jonpaul3075zçc
I watched this video and thought for sure this was going to be the issue, but it did turn out to be my air gap on top of the sink being clogged. Definitely would have saved me hours of work and dissembling the dishwasher if I had thought to check that first.
Check air gap first!!!
Mine had a piece of broken glass! Not the same model (mine is DW80K7050), but same problem. I had to figure out some steps by myself on my model, but I would never had go that far without this video. Thanks a lot!!!
That's awesome you were able to get it fixed. It's crazy to think that a small piece of glass, or in my situation a piece of plastic, can make the entire system shut down. Thanks for checking out my video.
You're not going to believe this but I was watching this video and when you popped off the impeller and that white chunk was in there I was thinking "I wish it was that easy. There's no way I open this and it's that obvious." But, I popped off the impeller (mine went counter clockwise) and there was a chunk of broken plate sitting in there. I was amazed. I put it all back together and it worked like a champ! Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you for the kind words, friend. I'm glad you were able to get things working.
Did the same thing and worked.
The impeller was squeaky clean and no broken plastic debrids.
However, it seems that this procedure reset the dishwasher and now it's working.
Thanks alot!
Interesting, perhaps just turning off the power somehow reset the warning sensor. It's probably a good idea to still keep an eye on it just in case the sensor trips again. Please let me know how it's working or if you figure out why the sensor was tripping.
Samsung dishwasher dw80k7050ug not draining 5E error. Quite a bit different model than the one in this video but the exact same issue. One of the screw tabs that mounts the dishwasher on the side was lodged in the impeller. You saved me a crap ton of money good sir. Thank you.
Thanks, Shane. Your comment just made my day. It's great that you were able to get things figured out.
Thank you! My dishwasher wasn’t draining and I was planning to go through all the steps but then my garbage disposal stopped working. I used vinegar/baking soda, and boiling water to clean it, reset the garbage disposal and then tried the draining cycle on the dishwasher and it worked! I could see the water draining into the garbage disposal drain. If it stops working again, I’ll be sure to refer to this 😊
Awesome, I'm happy you were able to get it figured out and working. Likewise, thanks for sharing the troubleshooting steps utilized. Hopefully people will see this comment and feel less stressed. 🤔💡
This video really helped me. A piece of broken glass just smaller than a penny was stuck in the impeller. Like you said, I could hear motor humming but not turning. The pump came apart easily and the impeller housing is shredded from the glass. Now that it's all put back together this gleaming, practically new machine I got for free will replace my crusty old one. Thanks a lot! Wonder how the glass got past the filters......
That's awesome you got it fixed. I'm guessing a glass may have been dropped in the sink and a piece broke off, washed down the drain and went into the drain tube of the dishwasher. Especially if the garbage disposal was turned on, as the spinning blades could have flung the piece of glass around in the drain until being flung into the drain tube of the dishwasher. In any case, thanks for checking out my video 👊
Useful video. It might help some people to know that exactly that same pump is fitted to quite a few machines - including my 5 year-old Teka, and can be purchased as a spare part for less than $50, and then fitted just as you show in your re-assembly.
That's good to know. Perhaps it's like an industry standard to use that part. It's a sturdy little impeller, and mine has weathered a few jam-ups already. Perhaps Samsung should evaluate their drain design and add a better filter to further prevent foreign material from colliding with the impeller. It seems to be a common failure mode.
Yes, but I suspect the only way something big gets from machine chamber to pump is if the filter is not absolutely secure in its housing - it's easy to leave it loose, then the water jets will probably move it around. We've had glass fragments get through ours when we have left it a bit loose. That model pump does seem to be used a lot and (oddly..) it's price seems to vary with manufacturer of dishwasher, even though the part seems identical (and I'm sure it is). I see that some US stores ask almost $200 if you are fitting it to a Samsung but I can find what seems to be the same part in Europe for less than EUR 30! Thank goodness BMW don't make a dishwasher. If anyone out there looks to do a replacement, it will be well worth digging around a little. I did something even more miserly. My impeller shaft had corroded and the impeller sheared off - everything else was OK. I found a new pump for less than $15 and realised that the electromagnet internals were almost identical - a bit of sawing with the Dremel, and a little patient epoxy application and it's as good as new. It took a few hours and I would have preferred to replace the whole pump if I could have found one with quick delivery but I couldn't, and I don't like washing dishes.
@johnhorsfall9623 That's some next level MacGyver stuff right there 👊 I think that's awesome. As far as I'm concerned, as long as a repair works it's good. How's your water inlet valve doing? Those things seem to break pretty frequently too. But yeah, it's always a good idea to shop around for parts because the price can vary quite a bit from one website to another.
Had a piece of broken wine glass stuck in impeller. Your video really helped me fix my Samsung POS.
That's awesome you were able to get it working. Thanks for checking out my video. It's a great feeling knowing I've been able to help someone navigate through the process. Hopefully now it'll be easier to troubleshoot if a similar issue happens again.
Hey, thanks. Had a flooded kitchen. Used your hints, dishwasher is back to working. Awesome.
That's outstanding 👊 It's an awesome feeling getting things working again. What was the root cause for the flood?

This is exactly what I’ve needed to find. Same make and model dishwasher.
Hi Jim, that's awesome, happy the video was helpful. What ended up being the issue? Was it a piece of plastic like mine?
Wow well done. my Samsung dishwasher, and washing machine both had issues, after 2 weeks they decided to tell me there was a re call on my washer. Now we tackle the dishwasher
It can be stressful when multiple appliances have issues at the same time. Hopefully things will be up and running for you soon. Thanks for checking out my video :)
I really enjoyed your video. Going to troubleshoot my dishwasher this weekend- thank you!
Awesome, let me know if you have any troubleshooting questions. Hopefully it'll be good to go soon 🙂
an excellent video by a real engineer
Hi Ming Su, thank you for the kind words. I like taking a systematic process-based approach to analyzing things. Hopefully the video was able to help out. Thanks for checking it out.
My guy your video saved me money had something blocking the impeller as well. Great video.
Excellent, I'm happy you were able to get things working. Just out of curiosity, what did you find blocking it? Was it glass or hard plastic?
@@karatefox it was a plastic piece

Hi Salomi, that's outstanding. I'm happy you were able to get it working. What specifically was the issue, just out of curiosity?
Glad I found this video. Had to tear mine down to find that the impeller had fallen off the spindle
I'm happy the video helped to troubleshoot things. I wonder what caused the blades to fall off? Did you find any large pieces of glass or hard plastic when you opened things up?
@@karatefox nope, it just fell off the spindle somehow. Had to press it back on. Seems to be working again now.
@johnny hall Interesting, glad it's working. My theory is that something collided with it and knocked it loose. Hopefully everything stays intact.
Was a little different for my model, but absolutely worked. Thanks!
I'm glad it worked out for you. Mine's still working for now, but I think it's normal to have the machine breakdown every once in a while. Thanks for checking out my video.
thank you! my problem was just the drip pan sensor but this helped me find my way around down there.

Hi Mark, that's great you were able to get it fixed. Thanks for checking out my video ^_^
I have a slightly different unit. This video still helped. That said, I found nothing wrong with anything. I took apart all the items underneath mine and they all look moderately clean. So annoying.
Thanks for checking out the video. My intuition is telling me that the act of switching off the power to the unit probably helped reset the sensor. In any case, I'm glad my video was able to help you out.
Thanks for the video. I was able to fix my dishwasher because of this video!
That's great you were able to get it working again. Just out of curiosity, what was the specific issue and how were you able to fix it?
It was the same problem. Dishwasher wouldn't drain, because the spinning motor gadget that gets rid of water was blocked with trash
Thank you so much. I followed the same steps and I found the problem.
That's awesome you were able to figure it out. What ended up being the issue? Was there something jamming the impeller?
Very helpful! Thank you! I found a broken measuring spoon handle in ours.
That's awesome you got it figured out. Dang, a broken measuring spoon handle. Do you have a garbage disposal unit set up? If so, hopefully the blades are doing ok.. in any case, that's great you found the root cause and got it working 🙂

great video. Only one problem. Now I want to buy that mop.
It almost makes mopping fun...almost. Thanks for checking out the video :)
Amazing work! This helped me
Hi Mike, that's awesome the video was able to help. What was the specific situation with your unit? How did you get it working?
Great video man! Really helpful! I still haven’t found the root cause of my dishwasher not draining properly but I did remove the impeller and it was actually pretty clean. The only concern I have is that my impeller did not want to spin like yours did. It would only spin about half a circle on both directions. I didn’t want to force it because I thought that maybe that’s how it was made but do you think something is causing it to not spin freely ?
Interesting, it sounds like there may be something jamming the impeller from the inside. How old is your system? When was the last time that it was working? What does it feel like once you turn the blades of the impeller? Is there friction after the half turn or does it just feel stuck like something isn't allowing it to make a full revolution?
It might be the magnets in the motor that give fairly stiff resistance every half turn - that's what they are supposed to do? But not rigid resistance. If so I guess one of the plastic waterproof seals has broken. It's fairly easy to dissemble and simply have a look inside. Take off the large grey plastic ring by prising gently with a large screwdriver, then grab the white, plastic seals with some suitable grips and pull.
Got the same exact problem right now thanks for the video
Thanks for checking out my video. Hopefully you can get things working.
Great video bro,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate the kind words, happy I could help.
Hey you didnt notice this because you had the impeller housing flipped upside down, but that plastic piece is part of the dishwasher. Im not sure what it does but there is a slot that fits the shape of tbat part perfectly.
@04gtno Oh dang, I've been wondering whether or not that part was from the system. It may be worth noting that my water inlet valve also failed around this time and I ended up replacing that part. I wonder if it might be from there? Thanks for the information, hopefully we can eventually identify what that part does. Since doing my repairs, my dishwasher has been working great so hopefully the part isn't super necessary.
@@karatefox that's great to hear that yours is still working. Maybe that part isn't crucial to normal operation. I just put mine back in, but I'm a little concerned that it might come out again. I can't think of any good reason for that part to pop out, but I did blow compressed air through the back end of the drain tube to see if there was an obstruction, so I'm assuming when I did that it popped that piece out. Did you do anything like that also?
@04gtno Interesting, I didn't try clearing out tye drain tube, but during a different troubleshooting adventure I do remember being a lot of buildup inside the tube, which made me want to replace it-definitely recommend replacing those things every couple years 🤢. It's possible tye part was knocked loose from normal wear and tear from the system vibrating.
How did you get the pump to activate ... when I pull up the floater I hear nothing and I have water just sitting there? Please advise
I think I just lifted up the float switch and that was enough to make it turn on. You might try turning off your circuit breaker for a few minutes, switch it back on, and then try to run a dishwasher cycle. Usually the system will attempt to drain itself at startup. If nothing happens, it's possible your drip pan is full of water and triggering the system to nit do anything. When was the last time your system was working?
@@karatefox 3 day before I took it apart... looks like it's not draining... I did everything the video said got it running but the dishwasher won't drain
@@BudgetClan interesting. Does the impeller turn on or hum? Have you checked the exit of the drain tubing to see if there's an obstruction?
@@karatefox the impeller doesn't make any noise and I check for any clogs on the tubbing and nothing
@@BudgetClan It's quite possible there's an issue with the impeller itself. How old is the system? Do you recall when it last worked or if it made any unusual sounds before the impeller quit working?
Great video I enjoy it.
Thanks for checking it out, glad it was helpful.
Hey bud, thanks for saving me time and money.
That's awesome you were able to get things working. What ended up being the main issue? Was something stuck in the impeller?
@karatefox It had a metal screw and some rice stuck in it. Once I cleaned it out and put it together. It worked like a charm.
@just some Gamercat Excellent, it's great that it was something easy to clear out. It makes me wonder though. Where did the screw come from? 🧐
Saved me a service call! Thanks a lot for the informative video. You're the man!
Thanks for the kind words, friend. Glad I could help :)
Thank you, it worked! I have 3 kids so our dishwasher is a necessity. But now I can't get the braces back on to secure the dishwasher!
I'm happy you were able to get it working. Hmm, in terms of the braces to secure the dishwasher, perhaps try these things. First, carefully insert the metal clips into the top slots of the dishwasher frame. Then, carefully slide the dishwasher into the space it goes. Once it is most of the way in, slightly open the dishwasher door by its horizontal handle. This will cause the unit to pivot back slightly and allow the metal clips to slide under the counter top. Then, it's just a matter of wiggling the dishwasher side to side as you guide it all the way back into its space. For the screws, try to find the holes in the wood underneath the counter. Worst case scenario, you could just make some new holes and use a sharpie to mark the area so it's easier to find in the future. Please let me know if this works or if there are specific challenges you're experiencing. Always happy to help 🤔💡

Opened it up and the impeller was clean. Dried everything down there but unfortunately the same issue is still there. Any idea? Suggestion on how to troubleshoot the drain motor.
Thank you again!
Thanks for checking out my tutorial, I'll see if I can make some recommendations. When you turn on the dishwasher, do you hear any sort of humming sound or is it completely silent? Also, if you look inside the dishwasher, have you tried unscrewing the drain cover to see if something is stuck clogging the drain? How long have you had the dishwasher? Hope I can help.
@@karatefox thanks for your reply. No there is no sound of humming, its completely dead. However, today i disconnected the drain pump and read the ohms reading across the two terminals. No reading and then I supplied AC 120v to the pump and it didn't move at all.
@@karatefox forget to tell you, I bought from Home Depot less than 2 years ago ( Dec 2017)
@@nawraswardia interesting, it sounds like the impeller might be burned out. I'd recommend ordering a new impeller and seeing if it works. If it doesn't, you might want to return it and try some additional troubleshooting. Another thing to take a look at is the drip pan sensor. If you remove the drip pan, you'll notice a circular plastic part with a wire coming out of it. If you unscrew it you might want to check it out; there's a piece of Styrofoam with a sensor on it. It might be stuck in the on-position and is giving a false warning of a flood. When you turn on the dishwasher, does the normal light still flash?
Thanks a million 👍👍

Luckily ours was just taking out the twist off cap, metal screen and filter tube and then cleaning everything out. We used a wet dry vac to suck out the cavity and that seemed to make it work again. The water drains completely now. That was the first time we cleaned it out since we got it about a year ago. It's going to be a regular maintenance thing now. Probably once a month hurry and clean the cavity out.
