Whirlpool dishwasher not draining fixed!

[@ERIKOLSONTPM]

Thanks for this video. Notes on our repair. Unplug or breaker the machine off before anything. The drain pump he describes is the first thing to check, all done from under the front of the machine. Be really careful with the locking drain pump release tab, it is more fragile than it should be. If you have a shop vac, you can disconnect the flexible washer drain hose from your disposal, and vacuum it out, making as tight a seal as you can between the small drain hose and the larger shopvac hose. You need to make sure the drain hose is clear, as blockage may be causing the drain pump to overheat and fault out. You can get the part he shows for $23 on eBay, and $73 from Whirlpool direct. Thank you for this video, I made sure to check the impeller gap there to make sure we didn't have something crazy like a rubber band on there. Someone asked if there is supposed to be resistance. In our case, the blades rotate without too much force, but maybe "resistance intervals" at every 1/4 turn or so. I believe this has to do with how impellers are made. Could be wrong! But ours too had that resistance.

Thanks!

Is that yellow part suppose to provide resistance or is it suppose to turn like a windmill

Have you heard of any similar issues with the drain related to components of piping freezing?

[@lumurumba]

I have not

Looking for an answer on this aswell @francis. Just had really cold weather and now it's not draining. Whirlpool dishwasher. Just checked the drain pump and filter etc and still no luck

How did you remove the fan-thingy?

[@cynthiadudal9301]

It's the pump and the fan thingy is the impeller
