Whirlpool NOT DRAINING

Whirlpool dishwasher will not drain here is a quick fix

[@knight880213]

you are a true lifesaver, it's hard to find such videos for these decades-old machines.

[@kylescroggins3632]

Do these even have filters? I don't see one in mine

[@knight880213]

@@kylescroggins3632 no filters, only that plastic barrier can be lifted up

[@nickgerhauser4703]

Is there any reason to remove that plastic cover?

[@knight880213]

@@nickgerhauser4703 for me the water didn't drain, I had to check for clogs under the plastic grid. And also for a deep cleaning. I know there is supposed to be water right below the plastic cover to protect the rubber seals.

[@SouthsideTile]

In agreement with 90% of your comments, this is my exact dishwasher and I was pumped to find this video. Mine isn't failing, just wanted to get in there to clean it. Thanks, bro. Gettin that clean money w/ dirty hands, gotta love it.

[@patricktarrant7660]

Thank you for taking the time to film this one-handed 6 years ago. This saved me a lot of manual hunting 😂😂

[@isla_bella1234]

THANK YOU! You don't know how long I've been trying to find out how to get this damn thing cleaned!!!

More tug & twist.

Still got water inside💦🤨😶

[@christinamcbrewer6656]

@@matthewgandara282 is the filter in there? Ik sounds dumb but really asking

[@sifat9667]

My issue resolved just by running the garbage disposal but this is a very useful tutorial in case this old washing machine really needs that level of repair. Thanks! I wouldn't have known it'd just pop out. Just put a screw driver and pulled hard.

[@345jamshed]

This is a very helpful video for this particular dishwasher. Saved me about $450 that to would have to pay a plumber in my market.

[@tonigarguilo9510]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is the model I have, didn't even think the filter could be removed! So grateful, and am hoping you're very well these five years later! Beating the rush to wish a very Happy Holiday Season to you and yours!

[@RachJones915]

He didn’t cover removing a filter so how did you remove a filter and where was it? All he removed was the top tray.

[@SimplyCrystal97]

youre a lifesaver i’ve been looking for a video for my exact dishwasher and this is the perfect one!

[@papablueshirt]

It helps to know which way it comes off, makes the job so much easier. Thanks for sharing

[@freemode]

Yo! This just happened to me, the exact same dish washer & everything! I couldn't figure out how to pop off the plastic cap, I didn't wanna force it but ima go get err done. Thanks man!

[@deniserhodes6768]

Thank you....sooooo much! Single mom trying to fix my own things!

[@PinkNBlueClouds]

Many thanks for taking the time to record and upload. Much appreciated!

[@nathansmith8187]

Straight to the point. I didn't even realize the thing would come off. Now my dishwasher drains.

[@anyagee9467]

Finally! Couldn't find anything about this model on the internet till I found this video. Thank you!

[@texastaurus9271]

thanks for the video.. our dishwasher was super clogged under that filter screen plus the return hose where it meets the disposal was clogged too. got this 20 year old appliance running like new 😂

[@viacheslavdoinikov9667]

Thank you for this educational video. Just like many others, I was afraid to break the machine if I apply force. Thanks to you, I can do accordingly with that cover and the rest is a matter of common knowledge.

[@sharonbauer-e7m]

This was exactly the issue. I happened upon your video. New disposal added in a rental property. dishwasher didn't drain. Thank you so much. Super easy fix and all good now!!

[@linsayammons7287]

Thank you making this so simple! I just fixed my dishwasher in like 5 minutes.

[@tonigarguilo9510]

Glad you posted this! I'll follow the example of your Can-Do spirit! Thanks so much!

[@kleinpellteamrealty4561]

Thank you for this video. Our dishes smelled like @$&! couldn’t figure out why. We took off this cover and now we know. We should also probably be dead🤢🤮. Thank you for the good and direct info!

[@johnelliottart]

Thank you! I thought I was removing the filter incorrectly and didn’t want to break it but I saw no other way to remove it. I’ll trust the man from the internet. 😄

[@samanthaatherton7532]

Ty so much. I couldn't find how to get that off in the manual. I popped the left side off but didn't know you had to twist. I didn't want to break it. Thanks for the video.

[@FieryHyrdra]

I appreciate the video. Cleaned up about 2 cups of grey gunk off the filter

[@cc5341]

Thanks man 😁 couldn’t find anything until this vid 👍

[@davemaier68]

C C exactly!

[@rainbeau88]

Same!

[@joconnell]

Absolute legend, there's no manuals for the DU980 about and I didn't want to damage the filter to clean it off - thanks dude!

[@RachJones915]

Where did you find the filter once the top screen part was removed like he did in this video? He didn’t cover a filter.

[@joconnell]

@@RachJones915 there wasn't one on it, just the bendy plastic screen. In that way it's not an amazing filter, still letting a fair bit of stuff through rather than a fine mesh that'd catch more!

[@megnerd8954]

Thanks for helping me know I wasn't breaking that silly cover!!

[@stigpiaggio3v775]

Thanks man, got that cover off....now working on the standing water. Certainly some crud there. Cleared that but not draining yet.

[@melaninrichconversations5523]

Stig Piaggio3V thanks

[@Ang.0910]

melaninRich conversations I clean the hunk out but still not draining. What else should I do?? Thnx!

[@libyjohn]

I have the same dishwasher. Which compartment do i add salt.

[@Shinnokxz]

I took both the racks out and snaked the right drain with my hand the best I could. Then I took heavy duty zip ties and tied them together and stuck them down the pipe. I then took a small plunger to the right drain pretty aggressively for 10 minutes or so and ran a rinse cycle and it drained. I then ran a few empty loads with vinegar splashed (maybe a cup or two) and it's draining well now. Check your drainage into the garbage disposal before attempting all of this

[@MrBlakeXD]

Thanks for posting this! I couldn't figure out how to get the filter out.

[@mygigi43]

I was able to remove my filter cover without breaking it thanks to your video!

Have the exact same dishwasher. Thanks 🙏 for the HELP.

[@doloresgarza8796]

Thank you so much! I had been wanting to clean it out manually for years. I cleaned it out and I’m so happy!

[@robotortoise]

Thank you SO much! I was scared I'd break it but after this I got the courage to do it, and oh my GOD. That filter was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I had to get a turkey baster and suction the remaining water just because it was all SO GROSS. I spent over two hours cleaning it and used one and a half rolls of toilet paper. You're a godsend!!!

[@Archone666]

Just cleaned my dishwasher filter after watching this video. Thank you! :)

[@chloeabibas]

How did you clean it. I was able to take off the "vent looking" thing but it is still clogged. Water still on it. I took out the water and I tried to pour some water and the water is still there

[@Archone666]

@@chloeabibas I had to clean it by hand. As in, scrubbing it with a sponge and whatnot. Got the gunk out, sealed it back up... three years later, the dishwasher is still not the best, but it functions, more or less.

Everybody is so thankful and some mention cleaning a filter but this video didn’t cover anything on cleaning a filter. What he removed is just a piece of plastic. So where are y’all finding the filter?!

[@shaddrickking]

Thank you fam for this information greatly appreciated! Works like a charm.

[@darthvagrantsaurette2937]

Only vid on this topic that helped. You the man

[@cuzzo80]

Hey everybody this video is no help if you’re having this problem it’s because the hose is clogged and water isn’t flowing to the garage disposal either clean it out or replace it also check where the hose and the garage disposal connect that some times get clogged.

[@ashleybradbury3471]

Thank you!!!! I got the cover off.

[@elizabethgarza3576]

[@GMoney-B]

Great video but how do we get the round mesh filter on the left side out to clean (the filter mesh for the return side that blows out to the sprayer/agitator).

[@PaulLascari]

Exactly where I am right now. Looks like the drain below the mesh is the problem for me as well. How the heck do you get that round mesh top off?

[@GMoney-B]

@@PaulLascari I don't know. At this point... break it till I feel better? XD. Just kidding, don't do that.

[@PaulLascari]

@@GMoney-B Had needle nose pliers in my hand... and was close to just breaking it off....

[@GMoney-B]

@@PaulLascari Don't let me stop you, up to you man. Good luck. I just forgot about that, especially because I'm in an apartment and I don't wanna pay for a new dishwasher(most likely wouldn't notice but still a chance I don't want to take). What I do every once in awhile is a fill up the diswasher with water, either manually or running dishwasher, then I dump in a bunch of baking soda, like half a cup to a cup, twice normal amount of dishwasher detergent for a load, and some salt, 1/4 to half a cup. Then I get the dishwasher ready so when I close the door it will start up instantly with the water and everything. When ready I dump in a cup of vinegar and close the door and run a full cycle. That helps to deodorize, sanitize/kill mildew or mold, and clean stuff out too.

[@lamia.thira.lowenstein]

thank you. it's so hard to pull the filter. tug and TWIST is the key

do you know how to drain the water that is collecting at the bottom once you take off that cover?

I'm wondering the same thing

[@lamia.thira.lowenstein]

it may be a problem with the drain line if water is poolin in. but if you just want to get the water out, just get a bowl and scoop it out? if you want it really dry, then abosrb with a dishcloth or sponge
