Solve Drainage Problem on Kenmore Quite Guard 2 Dishwater. Will also work for Whirlpool dishwashers

Severe cloggage in the drain tube might cause the water pump to not run during the drain cycle, although the same pump will run during the wash cycle. There is only one pump in this dishwasher. Many other dishwashers have a main pump and a drainage pump. Before you change the pump, which costs more than $350, you should clean out the cloggage in the drain tube. The same dishwasher design and the same water pump can be found on various models from other companies such as Admiral, Amana, Caloric, Crosley, Estate, Hardwick, Inglis, Jenn-Air, Kitchenaid, Magic Chef, Maytag, Modern Made, Norge, Samsung, and Whirlpool.
