It was wooden chopstick pieces that had gotten snapped off and made their way to the motor. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Also appreciate your conclusion was not only “now you can fix it for yourself next time” but rather “now you can help someone else.” Good on ya!

Thanks a million! I followed every step. Even checking all the pipes under the sink then realized my dishwasher has its own water source, but those pipes were NASTY and needed a good cleaning. In the end it was exactly the same problem. There was a Bobby pin (not plastic fork tine) caught in the pump. This has been a horrible week with things breaking so thank you for helping me fix this "on my own."

This video helped me so much. I was able to replace the drain pump, which had two pieces of glass in it. The glass had blocked the pump blades and burned up the motor. Without the video, I probably would've just spent $800-$1000 to replace the dishwasher. Also, I went thru your steps and cleaned my drain hose and garbage disposal, which were nasty and partially blocked at both. Thanks for the video and great job!

Thank you! Your video helped me pinpoint my problem. I saw how the drain pump disconnected and the little yellow fins helped me tremendously. I used a shop vac to suck out the drain, and one of these little yellow fins popped out. It wasn’t until I saw this clip, and 7:08 specifically, that I knew where to look. Ordered a new one from Amazon for $29… and now I’m back in business.

Thank you, this video helped me out so much. My water was not draining due to an incomplete installation of a new garbage disposal. The guy I hired to do the job did not punch through the drain line housing in the garbage disposal; thus; the water had no way to evacuate through the plumbing. Was able to in addition clean my drain line. Again thank you as you indirectly solved my problem when I saw all that gunk you pulled out of the disposal and I knew from my finger being in that same hole that there was a plastic seal there. I drilled through that and fixed the problem.

When I pressed the drain option I did NOT hear the motor run. Assumed it was a bad motor. When I opened up the motor nothing was found, but it was all gunked up with soap deposits. I spun the motor around a few times and then cleaned everything with vinegar, crossed my figures and put it all back together. Instantly heard the motor kick in when I hit the drain option. ALL GOOD! Definitely worth running a cleaning cycle monthly.

Thanks a million for our excellent advice! (Ironically, I have the same dishwasher.) One thing needs to be emphasized: These drain pumps are centrifugal type pumps that have the ability to pump lots of volume, but they have NO tolerance for back pressure. Any blockage, no matter how little, will slow or stop the flow. In my case the hose below the washer to the drain was plugged. (I have no disposal unit.) I used my suck or blow vacuum cleaner to clear the line and all was well again.

Thank you so much for posting this. Mine is doing the exact same thing with the water in the bottom. I’m going to attempt to fix it tomorrow. I’m a little confused about the under the sink part with that line that runs up to the outlet next to the Overflow by the kitchen sink. Mine doesn’t look like it would spray up any water if it overflowed. But I’m going to at least try what you did. I have a plumber coming soon to repair some toilets I have one of those Home Warranty‘s that I’m paying $65 to have two brand new toilet installed so that’s not bad maybe I can get him to also look at the dishwasher lol.
