thank you. Watched a bunch of videos and along with this one and I fixed my dishwasher. So just a thank you for taking the time to do this. It saved me from replacing my dishwasher.

I am a woman and have just followed your instructions and now my dishwasher is working wonderfully. Thank you! BTW, it was full of goop inside the drainer and need to be cleaned out.

I have a Kenmore pro dishwasher It starts a cycle then about 5 minutes later it stops. I then notice standing water in the bottom I have it the cancel/drain button and it drains no problem so the pump seems to be working fine hoses not clogged. What do you think is causing it to stop on its own
Thanks

Thanks a bunch you helped me fix my Maytag dishwasher !!

[@jeanette5524]

Thanks that's so helpful and clear.

[@tuffy11000]

Some good information but I would start with the end of the drain hose especially if it connects to a disposal because that’s where crud usually builds up at.

[@snowbird29803]

Maytag, loud bang at end of wash cycle and breaker trips. Reset breaker, all okay for rest of program. Heat and water heat boost off. Ideas?

[@JrColey]

Just moved my built in Kenmore dishwasher and 'locked' light stays on. Tried resetting and other easy tips. Dishwasher is fairly new

My dishwasher is leaking from the door. I'll try clearing the drain area. Perhaps the drain is clogged and slow and that is causing or contributing to the leaking. I will also look at the door gasket, perhaps that needs replacing. My GE dishwasher is amazing. It was installed in 1989. Yes that's 24 years ago. If I do finally need a new one - will I be able to find such a durable workhorse again? Thank you to expertvillage for this maintenance tip.

Hi my Kenwood dishwasher is using to much salt can any one help

[@OldVoiceofToday]

Thanks for the video, and maybe the written dialog, but I can't see what you are doing.

[@MicroMyApple]

We just bought a house, and ours makes this gurgle sound every so often. We havn't used it really, but it mainly does it during the day. It is also very loud, and the house is from 1920.

[@LeonaKnott]

Our dishwasher says check water and when we have nothing seems to be wrong.

[@Fredmelott]

I have the same dishwasher. Everything was working good and then one day it acted as if it had not enough pressure or something. What would that be? The arm still spins very slow and without enough pressure to even hit the plates on the bottom rack. Please help
