This video was helpful when I was first trying to figure out why the dishwasher wouldn't drain. The only problem for ours is that the filter was not "easy" to get to. toua-cam.com/video/OozITSlDt_U/v-deo.html
Mrs. Wes, are we to understand that YOU PERSONALLY diagnosed, tipped, semi-gutted the dish washer then put it back together again WITHOUT Wes once before????? If so, can we see your tool drawer in the house and was it memorialized for your channel's future content.
Pretty cool to see Wes out of his natural habitat (the shop) and working in exotic locations such as Mrs Wes' kitchen.. 1. Dishwasher fixed 2. Marriage saved 3. Expert eyebrow manipulation *This video has something for everyone
Should be "watch Wes struggle to fix his marriage with cheep Chinese pliers" lol. If the women don't find you hansom they should at least find you handy. Good save Wes
My wife knew better. She said that I could fix anything but a broken heart. Those could only be repaired. She's been gone almost one month & I miss her like crazy. Hopefully, the next one (#3) will also be understanding to wait to let me tinker before buying another!
I've worked in a dishwasher factory f or 25 yrs. Didn't help my marriage at all. But I think guys are make it just fine. Working on it together is what actually saves marriages.
LOVED watching your wife trying to keep a straight face at the beginning of the video! (and the outtakes after) You have a lovely family, Wes; you are blessed. Be sure to keep the videos of your son around so you can threaten to use them to embarrass him later in life. (fathers are good at that) I also liked the title: Happy Wife, Happy Life. I’ve been married for almost 50 years and I can attest to that! As for your children, I will pass this along to you: “The BEST gift a father can give to his children, is to LOVE their mother.” Your son is getting the BEST gift‼️ Stay safe and healthy. 🙏
Reminds of when the iPad first came out. Had a commercial where a loving daughter gave one to her elderly dad. She came to visit and asked how the iPad was working for him. To her horror she saw dad putting the iPad into the dishwasher and telling his daughter that was the best cutting board he ever used.
Congratulations! You just repaired, for all the world to see, something that was designed, from the start, to be unrepairable. My hat's off to you young man. However, beware the black helicopters....... Best regards from Indiana.
That was hilarious. I laughed pretty hard at the '5 minute discussion about goldfish crackers'. Who hasn't had those?! Great video. Your wife is a sweetheart. A real keeper. You hit the jackpot, dude.
This reminds me of when me and my wife changed the starter in our old crv five hours later and she learned how to change a starter and i learned how to be patient
Good job Wes. You and the big boss fixed the dishwasher. I have had one for over 9 years and my girlfriend won't use it. But she hated doing dishes by hand . Still can't figure it out🙄
Brilliant!......i had the same problem and i think your solution saved your marriage. I tried the other method after the wife complained it kept breaking down and demanded a new one. So i got a new dishwasher, but all the wife could do was complain that she took up too much space in bed, and ate the food. Sometimes you can't win!
Loved the out takes at the end. What a mess taking that thing apart and putting it back together again. Hopefully it is fixed for a long time now. Little Wes moves his eyebrows with finesse. Thanks for the video.
Yes, there is supposed to be a small amount of water below the strainer to keep the seals from dying out during the heat cycle. If you listen when you first turn it on the first thing that happens it pumps the remaining water out.
actually from an appliance tech of 35 years, the cycle starts in a pump out cycle to pump out liquids that have dripped out of cups or off of dishes when it was loaded.. the dishwasher never drains all of the water out due to the positioning of the drain hose.. it must be higher than the top of pump motor and have a loop in it or an air gap to prevent siphoning, and drainback. some pumps have check valves to prevent drainback but it never pumps all of the water out.
All Dishwashers drain "up hill", so there will always be some water left behind. You both did a great job on the repairs. Fantastic production values too! Great job you two!
Love the bloopers at the end. The intro was almost believable! I have been married 35 years, and a scratched dishwasher front might be the scratch that pushes everything over! Glad you both have a sense of humour. In all seriousness, your kid probably has a bunch of years of dishwasher pictures left in him, so maybe just keep him drawing, and keep the scratch hidden! By the time he stops drawing, it will be new dishwasher time!
I had to call my wife in to watch the last part - the scratch, the out-takes, just so funny! And you can tell that Wes hates working on that appliance - I can so relate to that. I You two make a great couple...
I have that same dishwasher... the problem was very similar to what happened to mine quite a few yrs ago. ‘Someone’ had dropped a wooden spatula in thru the bottom rack and the lower agitator spin arm had smacked it and splintered the wood. She who shall remain blameless realized it and fished it out (and ‘some’ of the wooden pieces) without sharing that info. A few days later, I open the D/W and see that there’s still a load of water in the bottom, FIND a few pieces of wood around the pre-filter and Shop-Vac all the water out, and like MrsWes, think it’s fixed! A few weeks later, same problem... appliance repair neighbour gets called this time, says, there’s a ‘floaty thing of wood or plastic’ stuck in your float ball which is tricking the machine into thinking it’s empty when it isn’t! Pulled out the last of the splintered wooden spatula, TaDaaa, problem solved. I had the same ‘extra’ question for the neighbour about the water that was left I the bottom once it drained properly. He stated that it NEEDED to be there as it was used to keep the pump impeller and pump shaft from drying out and leaking all over the kitchen floor! He also said, if the D/W isn’t being used regularly, throw a cup or two of water in the bottom every couple of weeks...! Glad it’s fixed, Chinesium tools are (almost) as good as having no tools!!!
Loved this video and the droll humor. At least she was trying to be helpful. My ex wife was strictly hands off ALL repairs so I quickly learned to do it alone. Kudos and love to your wonderful wife.
i don't think it has much choice the hose water flows back into pump when it shuts off anyway it cant pump air so has to stop when it starts sucking air
What a gem of a video but the outtakes at the end were absolutely fabulous. The conversations between the pair of you were an absolute hoot. I loved it!!
This happened to us a few months ago, same symptom exactly. Pumps working fine but still water in the tub. The drain hose was clogged 100% even an air compressor didn't dislodge it, had to give it a coat hanger abortion to get rid of the blockage. Works fine since. This is a built-in unit though.
In 43 years of marriage, the absolute worst experiences were fixing household appliances. They always failed at the worst possible time, and always when the bank account was empty. My tool throwing prowess, and foul language library were perfected working on appliances; especially washing machines.....BTW, the outtakes are mint!
Yup. I was out of town when the washer broke. Thank goodness she got by until I got home and didn’t call “the guy” or go to the appliance store, because we were broke too.
Wes, that was fun! I have fixed our friggin dishwasher so many friggin times by pulling some piece of friggin crap out of its inards, I can't count them all. And it baffles me how it gets in there. Each time the wife says "I think its time for a new dishwasher". I think its a conspiracy. Thanks for sharing!
Wes my mother would have said , “your as handy as a shirt pocket “! Well done , I once had a similar issue and it was an olive pit. By the way the bit of water left in the suction filter cup is there to protect both the plastic cup from the heat of the drying element directly above it and insure the seal on the pump stays wet.
I loved this you two make a good team and it's one of funniest videos I've seen in so time I feel your pain, a little water in bottom is normal all the dish washers we've had always had a little water in the bottom I think your wife is a keeper
been there done that. hahahha. you guys remind me of a mechanic friend of mine in navarre, ohio .... from many years ago....tom hearn (r.i.p.) he passed away from als..... i think wes is his reincarnation. keep on plugging away. i dont have tv....it sucks.... now i watch youtube in the evening. your's, buckin' billy ray, ironhorse, tinman....so many really good folks out there. at 70, i love learning new tricks every day thanks a bunch
Same here. I didn’t believe it until I saw how they were perfectly cut out to accommodate the wheels. I guess I’ve never owned a dishwasher with the cinder block counterweight option.
You survived. Now just put the kitchen tools back where they belong and sweep your tracks back to the shop before something else happens. And grab a couple 🍻
Hi Wes, You're a great person, very intelligent and very humble!! I just started watching your videos and they are very entertaining. Mainly for auto repair. What makes your videos so great is they are so genuine, and clean, (no vulgar language)!! Thank you.
Good job Wes. I’m the lucky owner of a 2018 model fridgidaire dishwasher. I’ve already had to fix it twice. They don’t build things like they used to. Luckily all the parts were readily available on Amazon and fairly inexpensive
Whirlpool/Maytag/Kenmore is all the same now. Built to fail in 8 years or less! LG makes good stuff, better parts availability. I like to buy American but I can't buy something that was reverse engineered to fail sooner so I'll buy another.....
Winning! Sliding the picture over the scratch was the best part. 👍 I tend to use a lot of colorful language when working on appliances. 90% of the time the cheap sheetmetal cuts up my hands.
yaay the marriage is safe, truthfully I think this was one of your most hilarious videos, well done Mrs Wes for diagnosing the problem and saving the marriage 💑 🤣😂
My parents had one too. Mom finally got her kitchen remodeled and got her built in. She changed the kitchen once more. After they sold the house and went to senior living, the new owner changed it again and put the house up for sale. Flippity flip.
Still have my Hoover machine, still works fine. One side has a horizontal rubber agitator wheel, the other side, a high speed centrifuge, that really spins the water out of clothes-
I knew the second you said it leaves water in the sump that there was something stuck in the discharge check valve. I’ve chased that problem before. Feels good to fix it without needing parts!
Your dishwasher problem motivated me to look at our dishwasher which wasn't working very well. After a suitable amount of appropriate language but no bloodshed it is now back together and appears to be working as it should. A significant amount of stuff got removed from the filters so time will tell.and the process will serve as my wife's valentine.
This is one of your most funniest UA-cam videos! I love it. Your wife seems to be awesome person! I work as a custodian For 22 years and a school district so I could understand some of the headaches she may have at work. I enjoy watching your videos after I ran across your UA-cam channel always seem to be very entertaining I want your your smart remarks and very informative as well nice balance ⚖️ Thanks Michael
I agree with the principle, but a kitchen drawer isn't big enough for a decent household toolkit. One of those roll around 9 drawer tool chests works much better. With a vice bolted to the top.
Nice work! These are the simplest things to work on as you found out. And there will always be a little water left, it drains back from the discharge hose when the cycle is done. And your son, I thought I was one of the few who could raise and lower your eyebrows independently, cool!
Thanks Wes! You may have also saved my marriage. Our built in GE has the same intermittent problem. Now I know what to check after removing the dishwasher, laying on its side, and disassembling, if I get a round tuit. Lately all I can find are square tuits.
Beware son to whom you say that ! I asked kind of a same joke to my Mom. Did'nt see the hard slap coming. Instant pain. Bleeding nose, glasses twisted... Dad laughing at me. Shame.
When my wife and I first married, 1964, Coppertone was the big color. We saved and bought coppertone appliances one at a time. About the time we had all of them coppertone gave way to harvest gold and light green. I was talking to an appliance salesman and he explained he had sold them for years. He said colors come and go. White is never the latest style but it is never out of style. From that point forward we have bought only white appliances.
Just as well you didn't have to scrap her, when you get a newer model you realise it's the same problems but a different... dishwasher. Also no check engine light or OBD2 port? Get it together GE. 🤔
@@dans_Learning_Curve lol, I liked the “They want me to take the skid plate off the dozer to get to those starter bolts, well, I’m not going to do that” out comes a chain attached to a skid steer bucket and we’ll just yank on it till we bust it off.
Super video, brightened up a wet and windy Sat evening. Am highly entertained that if this was the first Wes video that someone watched of a guy fixing a dishwasher on a kitchen floor with chintzy tools they'd be thinking he could do with a small shed and a few quality tools to get started.
The concrete is there to counter balance when the door is open and the lower rack is all the way out and full of dishes. I really did enjoy the video Wes , it was cool to see a different angle
I came in for lunch after frustratingly trying to diagnose my poorly running 88 goldwing, and what do i find? probably one of the best WWW videos i have seen in a long time! i think i even disturbed the neighbors from laughing so hard! but the humor aside, it is a great video for troubleshooting. sometimes it is just a simple thing that can make it all go wrong.
That little bit of water left in the sump is necessary, a primer to make sure air doesn't get into the pump so it will work first time. Fun Video, Mrs Wes is all class - the jury is still out on her assistant!

Well done Wes. You’ve fixed the dishwasher and Mrs Wes is still smiling. That’s a Win Win right there.
True!
She is a sweet heart, a keeper.
Jeez, it's just a GE. I'd save that for something expensive like a Miele!
It’s a GE what do you expect. Probably made in China or Mexico.

He did "fix" some wiring
You’re lucky. My wife would’ve had a new one on order before I knew anything was wrong.
We were almost there.
That is what is so very wrong with peoples values !!
Better than ordering a part because a UA-cam video or blog told them to and it costing half the price of a new one and wasn’t the right part
But is that really a bad thing
My wife knew better. She said that I could fix anything but a broken heart. Those could only be repaired.

It's helpful to load a kitchen drawer with decent tools. "It's better to be looking at it than looking for it."
Very true!
I agree with the principle, but a kitchen drawer isn't big enough for a decent household toolkit. One of those roll around 9 drawer tool chests works much better. With a vice bolted to the top.
This was hilarious!!! Marriage therapy 101 : )
Nice work! These are the simplest things to work on as you found out. And there will always be a little water left, it drains back from the discharge hose when the cycle is done. And your son, I thought I was one of the few who could raise and lower your eyebrows independently, cool!
Great Valentines Day episode. Appliance 101: 1/4” nut driver takes apart most appliances.
Click the thumbs up got my coffee good start to my day😊
And that explains why we ask what did you do when they tell something is broke.lol
New Glarus beer Wes is indeed a wise man and a mechanical master. Mrs wes is so lucky
Thanks Wes! You may have also saved my marriage. Our built in GE has the same intermittent problem. Now I know what to check after removing the dishwasher, laying on its side, and disassembling, if I get a round tuit. Lately all I can find are square tuits.
Good luck.
The son asks his dad, why are wedding dresses white? Dad replies, back in the day all kitchen appliances came in white.
Beware son to whom you say that ! I asked kind of a same joke to my Mom. Did'nt see the hard slap coming. Instant pain.
Bleeding nose, glasses twisted... Dad laughing at me. Shame.
@@marcryvon Least someone is preparing you for your future
Wife just gave me bus ticket to cook your own meals after telling her that..
When my wife and I first married, 1964, Coppertone was the big color. We saved and bought coppertone appliances one at a time. About the time we had all of them coppertone gave way to harvest gold and light green. I was talking to an appliance salesman and he explained he had sold them for years. He said colors come and go. White is never the latest style but it is never out of style. From that point forward we have bought only white appliances.
Given that the pumps are centrifugal, that "sump' can never be empty after use. I think.
Nice throughback. “There’s your problem lady”. I love it.
Love the ending, you two cracked me up!
there is always water left in the sump after pump out
True. Whatever water left in the drain hose after the pump stops will return to the sump. The pump can't remove every drop of water. Normal.
Just as well you didn't have to scrap her, when you get a newer model you realise it's the same problems but a different... dishwasher.
Also no check engine light or OBD2 port? Get it together GE. 🤔
Funniest video and I loved Mrs Wes displeased look as you moved the artwork to cover the scratches on the front
Great job!!! Been there done that! Dryers are worse. Spent one whole day working on it and bought a new one the next day! Love the realness!
I spy a merch teaser. When can we look fly like that?
😉
Soon.
No chainsaws, welders or sledgehammers used for this repair video? Andrew Camarata will be so disappointed............
Clearly doing it wrong!
The chainsaw to the dash was a shock! I *REALLY* didn't think he was going to use it!
@@dans_Learning_Curve lol, I liked the “They want me to take the skid plate off the dozer to get to those starter bolts, well, I’m not going to do that” out comes a chain attached to a skid steer bucket and we’ll just yank on it till we bust it off.
Super video, brightened up a wet and windy Sat evening. Am highly entertained that if this was the first Wes video that someone watched of a guy fixing a dishwasher on a kitchen floor with chintzy tools they'd be thinking he could do with a small shed and a few quality tools to get started.
LOL. Aspirations.
hey it doesnt have a plow attached to it right
True!
More outtakes please, see if Mrs Wes, can hold it together .
The concrete is there to counter balance when the door is open and the lower rack is all the way out and full of dishes. I really did enjoy the video Wes , it was cool to see a different angle
Good point!
I came in for lunch after frustratingly trying to diagnose my poorly running 88 goldwing, and what do i find? probably one of the best WWW videos i have seen in a long time! i think i even disturbed the neighbors from laughing so hard! but the humor aside, it is a great video for troubleshooting. sometimes it is just a simple thing that can make it all go wrong.
Don't know how anyone can give you two and the nipper a thumbs down, the outtakes made me chuckle, long may they continue, atb from England
Wes and Mona Fix the Dishwasher. Having fun making content. Nice you guys working. The Out takes were the real funny part glad you included them.
Actually this was one of ur best videos.
That little bit of water left in the sump is necessary, a primer to make sure air doesn't get into the pump so it will work first time. Fun Video, Mrs Wes is all class - the jury is still out on her assistant!
