There has to be a way to clean out that filter. I had a different one and I could take it apart and clean out all the gunk and slime. Ur telling we can’t access this from inside dishwasher. That silly little triangle filter will do nothing to stop stuff… looks like poor design

Thanks for posting. My circulation pump stopped. I took motor filter out, and unclogged. Working like a charm again! You saved me some $.

Appreciate it bro! Opened up my main pump motor and the internals came apart jamming the motor and also causing to severely overheat. Luckily I’m within the 2 year warranty, God bless!

It's definitely not a good filter design. Thank you! Just took it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together. Motor is still good. Saved me $250 to $400.

Juat going through this with the same model. Ill try to remenber to come back. The motor is very hot but doesnt smell like a burnt motor so im gonna wait for everything to cool down and try cleaning everything. Edit: took apart the motor. Got the little filter out. Cleaned the motor intake blades (not too bad) The filter was really bad (make sure people aren't putting labeled glass jars in the machine! My pump filter was basically a harry potter book) Put it all back together and it runs fine! Thank you for saving me an easy $400 on parts not including labour ♡

Its plugged because there is stuff that should not be run through the dishwasher. Lots of labels from jars, napkins, toothpicks.

Do you know if you have to take the motor out to get to that filter or can you just lay the dishwashe on its back and pull that out

8:10 pm. 3 years in. Do not buy. Went to Home Depot today. Whirlpool to replace.

Its such a bad filter design. Ive only had mine a little over a year and all kinds of problems now

it's not even a year, mine is same

Can you remove that without pulling dish washer out from counter ?

Did the motor work after you cleaned it? I’ve got a slightly different Maytag but same filter thing. I wonder if I can try this as it randomly throws an E1 F9 at me

Did you have to pull the dishwasher out to replace the motor? We are having the same issue. Hopefully I'll be able to clean and test prior to ordering a new motor

Having this issue right now. Did the diagnostic test. It ran through , now its just all lite up. Whats next? E1F9 error code

How old is your dishwasher because I'm having the same problem and it 5 years old

You can't just pop it out. You have take the whole damn.motor out and take it apart

How do I access the motor?

I can't even get to the video due to a string of lengthy, forced ads. So frustrating!

Will definitely avoid this model thank you!

why do people have dishwashers. to wash dishes right. so then why must you wash the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher makes no sense to me.
