I love watching these how to videos. I dont even have a clogged dishwasher, but I just like watching videos that show how to fix things.

Fantastic video! Thank you! I pulled my drain hose off and cleared it out. Problem solved!

Good tip with the shopvac. I have broken glass interfering with my drain pump and I think I will try to use the shopvac to pull it out from inside the machine. Can't hurt and might save me some work.

I always use a shopvac, best of luck

How did you get started with appliance repair? I love your channel and enjoy watching the repairs.

[@appliancerepairamerican]

I worked in a shop when I was a young man and gained a lot of experience. At the moment I am working on an application to help people learn appliance Repair. I plan to have it up and running by this time next year. Stay tuned

So I took all the insides apart, as the filter and what not. Mine drains into the disposal, I can see it drain into the disposal at some point , but at the end of the wash when machine is finished, there is still water filled up to just under the big large screen(the one you need to remove to get to the smaller screen). I did not replace the water pump. Whats your take on this?

[@appliancerepairamerican]

You need a high loop pin your drain hose. The drain line needs to go up hill first from the disposal and then down to the machine so the water can not back feed. use this plastic pipe hanger strap to secure the drain hose above the point where it enters the disposal. i provided an amazon link here: amzn.to/4eJH0Qg . just loop the strap under the hose and drive it into some wood on the back side of the under sink cabinet. make sure not to screw into any plumbing or electrical behind the wall.

I have the same issue. Did you end up figuring it out?

[@mrekimf1]

@@TianLuo84 I cleaned out the pump as best I could from the inside, seems to be working better now, also did a couple cycles with the hi temp wash and it also seemed to help.

Replaced drain pump and still not draining could it be clogged drain hose

[@appliancerepairamerican]

yes, Can you hear the pump trying to pump? you can get a cone attachment on the end of a wet vac aka shop vac. try putting it on the end of the drain hose that exists the back of the machine.

[@SDPBALLCOACH]

This was "ok" but you just replaced the pump. What if it still didn't drain??

[@appliancerepairamerican]

Could be a clog. Get a wet vac on the drain hose. Could be control board. Test to see if board sends power to the drain pump at appropriate time in cycle

I went through all this just to realize I didn’t remove the punch plug from the new garbage disposal I installed 🙈 … at least I have a brand new pump now I guess

[@appliancerepairamerican]

That happens
