Whirlpool Dishwasher Not Washing | Easy Free Fix| Not Completing Cycle

[@idmhead0160]

This just came out 3 months ago? Lucky me. Thank you for posting this. You likely saved me at least the cost of a replacement part or a technician to diagnose and fix the problem. I was able to fix my sister's dishwasher today by simply pulling it out and giving the pump a few taps with the handle of a screwdriver as you suggested. I really lucked out in running across this video right when I was starting to try to diagnose the problem today. Thanks a lot. You probably saved me at least a couple hundred bucks.

Awesome news. Glad I could help. You can also show your support with a cup of coffee. Either way, I appreciate your support

After watching a video to clean out the same part you tapped. I didn’t see much debris. Plugged in and it didn’t work. I found this video and do the tap thing snd after couple of times tapping…MAGIC!!! What in the world!! Thank you so much!!!

[@appliancerepairshorts]

Yeah sometimes the wash motor can get stuck. Tapping it releases the obstruction. Another trick is putting the dishwasher on the top

I just did it, after a couple times , it worked! thanks man!

Will it not just seize up again though? Never a call back with that repair?

[@appliancerepairshorts]

No, it will not. I have done this repair so many times. The problem is when customers put crap and cause the wash pump to bind up. Now it is sitting there stuck. Another thing you can do is flipping the dishwasher upside down. You are basically relocating or the debris. New had a call back. Knock on wood

What does tapping it do? Why does that fix it? I was expecting a clog? I have the same issue and same washer. Just don’t want to call anyone in yet

[@appliancerepairshorts]

So the tapping fixes the problem because the motor is stuck, and it is trying to rotate. The tap releases the pressure or debris. Normally it doesn’t come back. Also not using your dishwasher often can cause the motor to seize up. Keep your dishwasher clean and clean before putting them in.

I tried this but didn't work for me. Does it start now days later after this?

[@michaelhorton7934]

I've been fooling with mine a couple days. I saw this video, tapped on the motor twice, and it kicked in and is working great. Thank you!

[@appliancerepairshorts]

@@michaelhorton7934 awesome job. Make sure you try to keep your dishwasher clean. I think i linked some product to keep dishwashers clean and running good

[@MrMultitool]

It's all in knowing where to tap. Experience , The best thing to take on the job. I'm sure there are Co's out there that would change the pump just to charge the customer more money.

You said everything right, so true
