  • We would run a cycle and the soap packet wasn't even dissolved. Water wasn't even running through. Here's the fix

    Thanks for posting. My circulation pump stopped. I took motor filter out, and unclogged. Working like a charm again! You saved me some $.

    Appreciate it bro! Opened up my main pump motor and the internals came apart jamming the motor and also causing to severely overheat. Luckily I’m within the 2 year warranty, God bless!

    It's definitely not a good filter design. Thank you! Just took it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together. Motor is still good. Saved me $250 to $400.

    Juat going through this with the same model. Ill try to remenber to come back. The motor is very hot but doesnt smell like a burnt motor so im gonna wait for everything to cool down and try cleaning everything.
    Edit: took apart the motor. Got the little filter out. Cleaned the motor intake blades (not too bad)
    The filter was really bad (make sure people aren't putting labeled glass jars in the machine! My pump filter was basically a harry potter book)
    Put it all back together and it runs fine! Thank you for saving me an easy $400 on parts not including labour ♡

    8:10 pm. 3 years in. Do not buy. Went to Home Depot today. Whirlpool to replace.

    Did the motor work after you cleaned it? I’ve got a slightly different Maytag but same filter thing. I wonder if I can try this as it randomly throws an E1 F9 at me

      Since the motor was still covered under the warranty, the repairman just gave us a new motor so I don't know if the old motor worked after it was cleaned

    Did you have to pull the dishwasher out to replace the motor? We are having the same issue. Hopefully I'll be able to clean and test prior to ordering a new motor

      Yes, you have to pull the dishwasher out to replace the motor

    Its plugged because there is stuff that should not be run through the dishwasher. Lots of labels from jars, napkins, toothpicks.

      You have to pull the dishwasher out. Sorry I didn't get a video of that part.

    why do people have dishwashers. to wash dishes right. so then why must you wash the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher makes no sense to me.

      You need to scrape any large particles of food with every dishwasher but you don't need to rinse. No home dishwasher today is made to also act as a food disposal.

    I can't even get to the video due to a string of lengthy, forced ads. So frustrating!

    Ridiculously bad filter design. Designed for failure.
