3:48 PLEASE PLEASE sticky this comment. This is a SUPER helpful video. HOWEVER, after I reassembled and everything was seated correctly the pump had started to leak!! Took me taking it apart a few times to finally figure out the issue. I had dried the gasket and housing off completely to make sure all debris was clear which it was. Then I remembered I had some waterproof gasket grease from a shower mixing valve repair. I coated the gasket with a thin layer of waterproof gasket grease (Danco Waterproof Grease 80360) and putting it back together just felt way better. Tried it out and NO MORE LEAK! I have a feeling the dry rubber against the plastic was not allowing it to seat correctly in the housing and this fixed that. So for anyone having this issue, go pick up this grease, it’s only a couple dollars and saved me from just buying a new pump or gasket! Thanks again for the video it was indeed helpful!
Just went through this last night and thankfully I was smart enough (usually not) to leave the dishwasher out before a test run. Sure enough there’s a leak now. Gonna grab some of this grease tonight and try again. Thanks for the tip.
wow. I came here to say that you saved me more than time & money today. I installed a BRAND NEW dishwasher and everything went well with the installation, but no sprayers worked when I tested it. I came across this video, did everything you said. The pump looked clear but I think it hadn't been seated properly. Rinsed it out, put back together & works like a charm. So thankful for you today - Cheers!
You son of a gun, fixed our issue, how dare your channel be informative and straight to the point. Don't you dare keep making educational videos (cuz my wife's gonna expect me to keep fixing sh!t). Thanks sir.
Just wanted to say thank you! I followed these instructions and was able to save hundreds by not having to call a tech. Thank you, thank you! I also want to say I read and followed the comments about lubricating the O-ring on the pump before installation. I used coconut oil.
From the description of the problem to the steps to fix it, this video nails every single bit of this problem. Thank you! The pump was completely plugged with crap. Appreciate the troubleshooting trick!
Thanks for the video! I had a lot of gunk in mine, mostly wife hair! Just a note for anyone else watching, there is a retention clip on the electrical plug that is easy to get off with a screwdriver and a plastic retention piece on the motor that gets depressed by your thumb as you turn it. Was not shown here and really messed me up for a few minutes until I figured them out.
Another happy viewer here. After watching this and based on other research, I knew pump was the problem. I called a technician because this fix seemed daunting. But the technician said I need to replace the pump and quoted $350 for it. I refused, he still charged $80 for the visit. That was enough to nudge me to fix it myself. 😅 Followed the video, I needed to order plier to disconnect water supply hose. But I have my dishwasher up and running in 18 bucks! Thanks a ton.
This video just saved my family $700 or more. That pump was completely plugged, and you didn’t miss a single step along the way of getting it out or getting it clean! Thank you so much for your video!!!
My Whirlpool dishwasher stopped working 3 days ago, and having 2 kids, we are tired of hand-wash cups, glasses, dishes, trays the whole day, definitely the dishwasher and roomba are our best allies in our effort to maintain our home clean and organized. Well, we were looking for a good memorial day offer in Home Depot and Bestbuy, and when we were ready to buy a new one, this video appears and saves us $650. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much for this! It’s fixed my issue right away. I wouldn’t have know where to start but your detailed video made it easy, plus it was the exact same model as mine which made it even easier! You’re the best!
I was about to buy a new dish washer and thank god i watched your video before i place the order, i did exactly what you did and i didnt find anything blocking but it was minor dirt and i washed it well and put it back together and test it out and wow it worked . You are the man thank you so much
Just a fyi if you can't pull the dishwasher out from under the counter, I had to raise the leveling feet all the way up (they just turn left or right to raise or lower the unit) so the dishwasher was sitting on the ground and then picked up a little to get it over the flooring, then it slid right out and this worked!! Thank you!!!
OMG! It worked! Thank you so much for posting this fix. I didn't find anything substantial in the pump- a small seed or pebble (or something) but I cleaned everything and reassembled and it's working like a champ! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for the video. We were able to follow the instructions to remove the pump which had gunk that blocked the pump to not work properly. We cleaned it all out, did a test 1 hour wash, and heard the water spraying. Dishes are now cleaned. You saved us $600.
Many thanks for this video! Helped me figure out what I needed to do to repair our dishwasher myself. While it wasn’t as simple as finding junk in there like yours, your step by step walkthrough helped me understand what I was looking at and ultimately what the problem was… the plunger (not sure what else to call it) at the end of the magnetic rod had detached and was rattling around in there which led to pump failure. Got a replacement pump installed and it’s singing along beautifully once more. Thanks!
Wanted to give a shout-out this 100% fixed my issue. Strange though it wasn’t the same intense debris you had and it still malfunctioned. All the same worked out great! Thank you!
This video was super useful! Thank you so much, super easy to do. The tip on oiling the O ring also helped but we needed to replace it because it was worn out and would seat properly.
Thanks so much for this! I was thinking I needed a new pump or even a new dishwasher. All it took was a half hour and I was back up and running!! Fantastic!
This took me only 15 minutes to do and worked perfectly. Saved me buying a new machine. Thank you very much. This has become my all time favourite youtube video ❤
Thanks for this man, it really helped us out! Ours had some debri, but nothing like yours. Cleaning it out seems to have done the trick and everything is working again! Clean and concise videos like this are a big help to people.
This worked perfectly! Mine had what looked like a hairball stuck inside. Pulled it out and put it back together. Works perfectly now. Thank you for putting this video together. Clean dishes!😊
100% my issue. Followed along step by step and while I did not have the amount of debis you had, this fix resolved it. Now cancelling my service call! Thanks for saving me big $
My pump worked but the sprayer did not. So I followed your video. Found the impeller area clean and just a little gunk underneath. Cleaned it out anyways but did not have high hopes. Surprise, surprise... the sprayer works again!!! Thanks
This is my exact dishwasher and exact problem. I’m excited to have found such an easy to follow video. Hopefully I have the same success as your repair
Was so close to taking a sledge hammer to our dishwasher. Followed your video and what do you know found a huge hair ball clogging the exact spot you said. Cleaned it real well and it’s back up and running. My family and I appreciate you and your willingness to share your video. Thank you again 🙌🏾💪🏾
Me, too! I was beyond frustrated with the dumb dishwasher and so ready to swing the sledgehammer, but this process in this video absolutely did the trick. The dishwasher works like a charm now and we’re SO grateful to you for sharing your expertise and such clear instructions!
This got my dishwasher working again - thank you so much! My symptoms were no spraying and the latch wasn’t locking the washer tight. Water IN and Water OUT were working just fine though and I cleaned out every other potential clog point before I found this video. Thanks, again!
I had the exact same problem as in this video! I followed your steps and it helped me fix the issue. Thanks so much for making this video and helping me out!
I have the same model and had the same issue, I did what you showed and cleaned out that part (mine just had gunk in it but nothing in the impeller part). Once I put it back on and hooked it back up it worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
This worked for me. I didn't really find any debris except a little bit of scale. Cleaned it up, put it back together and it works like new again. Thanks for your video!
Thanks so much for the thorough walkthrough! This fixed our issue as well. We didn’t reinstall the pump as flush as it needed to be at first, so we got a leak. So make sure there are no gaps. We’re good to go!
Sir! I want to thank you sooo much for this video! I was able to fix the exact issue with mine. Thanks to you, I just earned 1000+ brownie points from the wife 😊 ❤
Thank you for making this. Mine had no visible blockage but the “fix” still worked. I wonder if it has to do with the magnetic drive? I had a dog fountain with a magnetic drive pump. Once in a while it just got “stuck” and failed unless I took out the magnet to “reset” it. Either way this works. Thanks again.
Great video! It was super informative on how to get the pump out. Unfortunately for me there was no clogs in the dishwasher but on inspection the magnet of the motor was split in half which is why the pump isn’t functioning. Now the fun part of finding the parts but at least I was able to figure out what happened.
My 2017 Whirlpool dishwasher had the same problem..the circulation pump on mine has a fine screen below the 4 screw impellar housing that barely looked block but I cleaned it with a tooth brush and dish soap the impellar unscrews from the center magnet shaft..works great now..however my pump was very difficult to remove..it rotates off the same direction as this video but has a rubber sound damper post behind so you are required to try tilting it out forward to clear the mount..it was very hard to twist the pump off as it take almost a full quarter turn..great video here..saved me $$$ thanks!
Amazing troubleshooting skills! Impressed by how methodically you tackled the dishwasher issue, taking it apart and fixing the pump. Your expertise shines through!
It’s always nice when you get lucky enough to find the root cause of an appliance problem without having to go spend the money on a brand new one. Thanks for the nice words. Appreciate it.
Has the exact same problem with mine! Wish I had found this video over a year ago when the problem started. Just hand washed dishes for a year for no reason…although it did teach my kids a little work:)
Thank you for posting this video. I could not find in the Whirl Pool manual or any other literature your fix for the blocked pump. Every other source wanted one to replace parts to solve this issue. Your video shows more than a fix but a glaring engineering flaw in how the filters work (or do not work). Thanks again! ....another reason to Make America Great Again... Companies that care about the products they sell... Whirl Pool fix your filter problem.
Mine is similar but the pump is seated and locked in. There doesn’t seem to be a way to remove it. Literally almost exactly like yours but mine is locked in somehow. I can send pic if you’d glance at what I’m working with. This video is still amazing. 😊
Thanks for this, ended up doing it and the washer started spraying again. What is odd though is my piece had nothing it, I did wash it out to make sure. I wonder if it's built to just do that cus most people won't even bother. Anyways glad it's working again.
At least on my dishwasher, there was a tab you've gotta push "in" (towards the tube) just a little, and then another one on the back side (the stuff that's hard to see because its close to the washer) that looked like it had to be pulled "out". Gently though, just a little nudge on the tabs and then I could twist the part off
Thank you for this. I have this exact whirlpool and that was a previous issue we dealt with. I keep this video so I always remember. Found a piece of mr noodles seasoning pack in it this time. 😅
Im going to try this. Wasnt sure how to get it off to see if its plugged. Dishwasher wont spray but fills up and drains. Sure hope i get it going again like you did yours.My Whirlpool is 6 years old.
@DIYTechnician Couldn't get the pump to unscrew apart. So after putting it all back in cabinet and turned it on to see what happens....it came on and washed and sprayed for a few minutes and just stopped and never did anything again. So mad that I'm giving up and looking for a new better dishwasher.
A little turn clockwise got me stuck. Not sure why mine isn’t popping off from the unit. Had to really force it out and it popped off. Reassembled and now it’s smooth
With 33,000 views on this video that tells me not to buy whirlpool appliances anymore. My whirlpool refrigerator, and washer have already went out. Now I'm here working on the dishwasher. Hey thanks for making this video though.
Yeah I hear ya. I’ve had the same luck. That being said I havn’t had any notably better results with most of the other models either. I’m happy if I can get 5 years out of any standard appliance these days. Best of luck to you and thanks for chiming in here. Take care.
I found your procedure very valuable. However, I shortened it considerably by not disconnecting any of the three washer connections. I was still able to get to the pump by tilting the washer about 70 degrees. My 0-ring has an internal diam 1mm greater than its seat. Is this normal or should I get another that is more snug? Another viewer says she cannot find a replacement.

This is a SUPER helpful video. HOWEVER, after I reassembled and everything was seated correctly the pump had started to leak!! Took me taking it apart a few times to finally figure out the issue.
I had dried the gasket and housing off completely to make sure all debris was clear which it was.

I coated the gasket with a thin layer of waterproof gasket grease (Danco Waterproof Grease 80360) and putting it back together just felt way better. Tried it out and NO MORE LEAK!

Thanks again for the video it was indeed helpful!
Glad this helped and thanks for adding the tip to your comment as well. 👍
Great great comment here. Thanks for the tips for the audience=)
Was thinking the same thing. Lubricate the oring shown and the rubber gasket inside the brass connection where the water line was unplugged.
Just went through this last night and thankfully I was smart enough (usually not) to leave the dishwasher out before a test run. Sure enough there’s a leak now.
Gonna grab some of this grease tonight and try again. Thanks for the tip.
Why didn't I listennnnnn, off to ace tomorrow lol

Saved me a whole lot of headache. Thanks.
Great to hear it. Thanks for letting me know.
This video was life saver, almost replaced the intake pump but then decided to check the sprayer pump. Sure enough, it was clogged. Thanks a bunch!

Was there a hot plastic smell?

I did this the pump wasn’t too dirty surprisingly but it seems to have fixed the issue just cleaning it , thank you!
That’s great news! Thanks for letting me know.
Great vid. Thanks for this. My pump had a plastic tab off the bottom of a Yeti mug that had come off in it. The tab said. "DO NOT REMOVE." 😂😂😂
😄Glad this helped.

I'm another happy customer. Well done, sir! I haven't seen this solution mentioned on any of the other 15 videos or websites I checked out
Our dishwasher had the exact same problem, and after following your video it's back in business. Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for letting me know!
This video was super useful! Thank you so much, super easy to do. The tip on oiling the O ring also helped but we needed to replace it because it was worn out and would seat properly.
5mins and it worked! Crazy how some small debris will jack up the inner workings. Thanks again for the tip
Heck yea. Glad it helped.
Thanks so much for this! I was thinking I needed a new pump or even a new dishwasher. All it took was a half hour and I was back up and running!! Fantastic!

Great to hear it. Nice work! Thanks for letting me know:) Take care.
Thanks so much. I was trouble shooting everything and sure enough, same piece of plastic in the impeller. Ten minute fix thanks to you.

I just fixed our D/W exact same issue and it saved me a service call. thanks so much, you're great!!
Oh sweet! Great to hear that. Yeah pretty simple once you get it pulled out and flipped around. Thanks for the nice comment.
Absolute legend! Mine didn’t have anything blocking but removing and cleaning did the trick!
:) thanks for the nice comment. Glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know.
I had the exact same problem as in this video! I followed your steps and it helped me fix the issue. Thanks so much for making this video and helping me out!
No problem. Dishwashers are expensive so it’s always nice when we can figure out how to DIY. Thanks for letting me know. Take care!
This did the trick. I have Whirlpool wdt730pahz0 and top rack was not cleaning. Found the pump to be very clogged. Excellent video.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad it helped.
Thank you for the video. It saved me a couple hundred dollars. Watch for the washer. It is tricky.
Glad it helped!
I have the same model and had the same issue, I did what you showed and cleaned out that part (mine just had gunk in it but nothing in the impeller part). Once I put it back on and hooked it back up it worked perfectly! Thanks so much!

Hahaha that’s great to hear. I’m surprised at that to tell you the truth. hey whatever gets it back working:)
Same here second time I've had to do it. Wonder if I should replace the part. It's getting quite tedious
That’s a great point and it sounds like that’s entirely possible.
This video definitely saved me money. Worked instantly. Can't get enough of DIY 💪🏾

The problem was exactly as you pointed out. Thank you for saving me an expensive service call.
Glad to hear it:) thanks for letting me know👍
It wasn't spraying when i took it apart. I didn't find anything in the pump, but when I reassembled everything it started spraying again. Thanks! 👍
we’re going to try to fix it step by step with your awesome video tomorrow! Thanks!! Fingers crossed!
Thank you!

Thanks for this, ended up doing it and the washer started spraying again. What is odd though is my piece had nothing it, I did wash it out to make sure. I wonder if it's built to just do that cus most people won't even bother. Anyways glad it's working again.
Can’t explain the success but will take the win anyway:) glad to hear it and thanks for letting me l ow. Take care and happy holidays
At the 2:34 mark im having the hardest time trying to get this piece off. Any suggestions.
Maybe a rag and some channel locks. I havn’t had to try that but I think it would be my second option to try and see if that works.
Same
At least on my dishwasher, there was a tab you've gotta push "in" (towards the tube) just a little, and then another one on the back side (the stuff that's hard to see because its close to the washer) that looked like it had to be pulled "out".
Gently though, just a little nudge on the tabs and then I could twist the part off
@@soniclettuce i wish i would have seen this comment earlier haha this was exactly the case
Thank you for this. I have this exact whirlpool and that was a previous issue we dealt with. I keep this video so I always remember. Found a piece of mr noodles seasoning pack in it this time. 😅
Great to hear! Please do:) thanks for the feedback as well. Take care.
This worked! Thank you!
Glad it helped! You are very welcome:)
Awesome video. Thank you so much for the save.
Glad to help!
Thank you for solving my problem
You are very welcome. Happy this helped!
Thanks this worked for me too! Mine didn’t have plastic but did have some gunk in it.
Awesome! I’m happy to hear this did the trick.
Thank you! Worked for us! Massive chunk of hair in our pump somehow.
Hahaha that’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Glad it worked out.
Thanks bro! You bought me some time until I replace the pump!
Glad I could help
Worked for me, thank you!
Great to hear that!
Im going to try this. Wasnt sure how to get it off to see if its plugged. Dishwasher wont spray but fills up and drains. Sure hope i get it going again like you did yours.My Whirlpool is 6 years old.
Hope it solves the issue
@DIYTechnician Couldn't get the pump to unscrew apart. So after putting it all back in cabinet and turned it on to see what happens....it came on and washed and sprayed for a few minutes and just stopped and never did anything again. So mad that I'm giving up and looking for a new better dishwasher.
Thank u so much,fixed mine
That is awesome!
Thank you so much! This saved us a ton!!
Glad it helped!
A little turn clockwise got me stuck. Not sure why mine isn’t popping off from the unit. Had to really force it out and it popped off. Reassembled and now it’s smooth
This fixed my problem! Thank you for posting this. Saved me $80.
Great to hear that! It’s nice when you can fix them yourself.
With 33,000 views on this video that tells me not to buy whirlpool appliances anymore. My whirlpool refrigerator, and washer have already went out. Now I'm here working on the dishwasher. Hey thanks for making this video though.
Yeah I hear ya. I’ve had the same luck. That being said I havn’t had any notably better results with most of the other models either. I’m happy if I can get 5 years out of any standard appliance these days. Best of luck to you and thanks for chiming in here. Take care.
Worked, thank you!
Very happy to hear that. Thanks for letting me know.
I will try this tomorrow. If I have to replace it, what would be the recommend models that match this "wdf520padm7".
Thank you so much for this video!! You saved the day!
Right on!!👍 thanks for letting me know.
I found your procedure very valuable. However, I shortened it considerably by not disconnecting any of the three washer connections. I was still able to get to the pump by tilting the washer about 70 degrees.
My 0-ring has an internal diam 1mm greater than its seat. Is this normal or should I get another that is more snug? Another viewer says she cannot find a replacement.
I was able to use the existing gasket. Thanks for the input:)
