It took me two days but YAY! I fixed my dishwasher and resolved the clogged drain!! Thank you so much! Your video was the only one I could find with the specific parts so that o could get it apart! I found an old rusty screw jammed in the drain apparatus!!! Victory! Thank you so much!!!
Your video has seen me through a deep clean of my kenmore every 6 months or so for at least 10 years. We’ve had this kenmore for 15 years -( it took me a couple of years to realize how grungy they can get. ) your video had saved me the price of a new dishwasher and i feel empowered. ThanK you! xxxooo
Thanks for posting this, our kenmore is designed like this (all the other videos show the other kenmore design). I needed to dismantle ours because of a plugged/logged tea-bag and some paper towels. You saved the day!
I have this same washer, original to my home's 1995 date of construction. My unit was working OK but I decided to take it apart and clean it because it is old. After pulling the impeller lots of grossness from decades of use awaited. After the big cleanup it is still going - I run it empty now and then with white vinegar and that freshens it up. Lots of videos of clogged drains/chopper discs on RUclips. Kinda cool that this model just uses a simple chopper blade. I don't care what they say, knock the big chunks off the dishes before putting them in the washer is better if ya don't want a clogged washer. Thanks for the video!
This is the first video I found that works for my Kenmore 665.1765691. Despite having a difference chassis the actual mechanism is the same! Really easy to follow and good explanations!
Thankful this is still on youruve in 2024. Our black plastic piece has to be chiselled out, so im waiting on the repair kit still available online. We just got a new stove so not needing to spend much much more on a similar quality dishwasher in 24 to the one weve got is great. $120 for repair parts vs 1500$ for a quality washer... Worth it.
Thank you SO much for posting this. I needed to disassemble my Whirlpool dishwasher, which apparently is this exact dishwasher under a different name, to clean out debris and this was a perfect tutorial. I seriously could not have asked for a better walkthrough of the steps to disassemble and reassemble. The part where you said, "Be careful, you may find glass down here" was such a good reminder and true in the case of my dishwasher. Thank you, again. You helped me save the day!

I know isnt he great, just so perfect how he talks clear calm not missing beat I just posted best one I ever saw
Thank you so much for posting this. as many other comments mentioned, this is the only video that shows how this model of Kenmore dishwashers is put together. I was unable to drain the dishwasher enough to see the screws through the brackish water, and this video allowed me to completely disassemble and reassemble the dishwasher with no issues.
Could you please share which way you turn the center small hex to loose it?(I would hold the large one with wrench and turn the small one) Counterclockwise or clockwise? Thanks!
@@maxhu09 Hello, I don't remember because I had someone helping me with this when we took it apart and he isn't here right now. If I ever find out I will let you know. Sorry I cannot help you.
Thank you, your video was the one I was looking for. I had a plastic cap causing all sorts of noise. I knew there was a way in. *Getting the hex screw out is the biggest hassle. I suggest having a second helper! One using the wrench to hold it and someone else using the hex screw driver..getting it out and in again.
Could you please share which way you turn the center small hex to loose it?(I would hold the large one with wrench and turn the small one) Counterclockwise or clockwise?
That screw at 1:50 would unscrew. Even by holding the black plastic thing with a wrench. I drilled a hole in the plastic thing to hold it in place with a screwdriver, which did the trick. Thanks!
You have got to be kidding me!!!! This would be challenging for a very handy man to follow these instructions! Then, when he said, hammer and chisel I thought I was in outer space! Just unreal.
@@missychan63I tried for ten minutes before I decided that the chisel and hammer was more appealing lol, guess I'll need to find where I can buy a replacement for that piece its stuck in there good :/
This was absolutely perfect!You explained everything so we'll it really was easy to do and I am so appreciative of your advice.Thank you for making such a well thought out video.Thank you again,much appreciated
Same here, BOTH Balls on top. I put the balls back in the way he did, it would not pump the water during the wash cycle. Had to take it apart again to put BOTH Balls on top, and pumps great now. Found rusty screw heads too, odd cause none were missing anywhere. Where do they come from?
I ended up using a set of vice grips and a 1 inch socket to hold that stupid hex nut in place and then used quarter inch drive on an impact driver. Sweet success....
To remove the hex nut I used an adjustable wrench to hold the impeller, but it is plastic and was bending so I used a 1” crows foot wrench and a socket to go inside so it wouldn’t deform. Then put a 1/4” deep socket through the other socket and turned the hex nut. Otherwise the plastic 1” nut would deform and start to strip. Hope this makes sense

Thank you sir soooo much!!! I'm awaiting to see if my dishwasher will drain now!!! It was amazing all the junk in there!!! Mcdonald's lid, water bottle lid, and yucky stuff, etc..... hopefully it'll work now!! Your instructions got me through it!!!!
Thanks a lot and God bless! Extremely informative and very well done video and comments on the video. My only question is if you can open the separator to clean it inside. I didn't want to try and chance breaking it.
Seriously, I could not have gotten it back together without referencing your video several times sir. Thank you so very much. Eric, Hubbards, Nova Scotia, Canada.
thank you, thank you. I appreciate you put this on so I can follow you, to the point and easy to follow, it was exactly like my whirlpool dishwasher but very close. so thank you again
Nice video, getting the old impeller off was tough and in Jan 2021 there was a 3 month deliver time for the kit (though the sites advertized 2 day delivery), make sure you have the kit in hand before you start! Thanks.
You have saved me so much time. I have a question, @1:36 the black impeller won't come off, I am only trying to clean it up, nothing is broken, is it necessary for me to get that off? When you say cut it, you mean literally cut it off and order a new one? I'm not good at this but I again thank you so much.
Thanks a bunch dude! Our dishwasher was not draining. Found some old sippy cup valves in there and had to navigate through some foul smelling swill to find the screws. Found out that the spring was all twisted and bent and that the Impeller was nearly busted. I ordered new parts and fixed it up good as new! Probably saved a lot of money 💵 too! I wonder how much you'd charge for a job like this?
Hi. I have a very similar model than the shown in the video (whrlpool DP940PWSQ0 in my case), and has the same kind of filter. I've seen videos and images about how to clean filters in other models but dont know how to clean filter in this model, that filter is different. Do you have any video or tutorial about that? Best regards
Great video. I can't remove the impeller cover however, the screw is not turning per 1:55. I'm not sure what the chisel/hammer action described is tho.
mine doesn't come off. turning it left gets it tighter and turning it right also gets it tighter. There is a loose point in the middle but it is not enough to get it off.
Could you please share which way you turn the center small hex to loose it?(I would hold the large one with wrench and turn the small one) Counterclockwise or clockwise? Thanks!
You forgot the spray arm upper wear ring that goes under the plastic nut, that's why your spray arm wobbled so much when you spun it. Also, to help yas out getting the impeller nut off do this: Take two flat head screw drivers and hammer them through the impeller 180º apart, use those as handles as you undo the 1/4" nut. The plastic nut on mine also crumbled into pieces while attempting this repair.
This is a great video, thank you! My Kenmore is quite similar to this one you worked on but could you tell me how to 'hard reset' my Kenmore Ultra Wash model 17779990? The electronics are acting a little odd. Thanks again for the great video.
That's where I'm stopped dead.... He said you can just break off that black housing that he's holding with the wrench- but if I'm not replacing that piece then that's probably not a good idea, correct? Does that question even make sense? I've been fighting this for 2 hours so my brain is probably not braining very well right now. What I'm asking is: if I go ahead and knock or cut that raised black centerpiece off, when I put it back together is it a big deal if it's gone?
Hello Mr. Fix., the best dishwasher tutorial I have seen. And I especially like it because it was specific to my aged Kitchenaid. Really good. Can I offer a couple of related things? - your voice comes through very well no matter what position you happen to be in. Fab! - the camera view though, is blocked by your head during the impeller segment. - and related, you do a bunch of the hand work (putting in new gaskets) at the bottom of the camera angel, which unfortunately, is off camera. But above all, I love this video. Keep at it. Thanks, Keith
Thank you for the vid but I could not get past 1:33 mark. The 3:4” screw on the impeller is screwed down way too tight. I just ended up destroying the impeller with the plier holding it down. :(
Thanks. Perfect video. We have hardly used this unit over the years and when we did recently, the water wouldn't drain out. We do have hard water in our area. I've inspected what you showed and its perfectly clean. What can I do next? I really prefer not to trash this dishwasher if theres a way to figure why it wont drain. Thank you
i love your video that explaine how to remove and repart parts but in my filter on the top is dirty and i don't know what to do to clean it ????? that smell like a wetting dog .. and my dish too smell that
I got one of these in my rental unit and there seems to be sludge coming all over. How do you prevent that impeller piece form getting torqued too much to get at the screw?
Drain impeller looks fine. Is something supposed to separate the check valves or do they both just lay on top of one another offset.? Looks like there should be something keeping them aligned or else you could just drop them both in afterwards?
So I have 3 plastic balls that came out, is that normal? I have the same 2 like you and then a third which is a little smaller than the other 2. As I was taking it apart the smallest one is the first I came across and then the other 2 were in the same locations as you have in this video. Should I put all 3 back or just the 2 like you did? I have the same model like the one in this video..
@@MrLBghost I don't know for sure but I don't think on our case it matters. Worked fine with 3, this video shows it normal to have 2, and I think I only put 2 back and it still seems to work as it should so... I dunno lol
Took me 2 hours to Google and find where 3rd (and smaller) check ball belongs. It'll make sense after you search for this other part, "Whirlpool Dishwasher Inlet Base with Seal", to give the visuals. The ball goes in the center of the black "seal" portion.
What does it mean when I try to unscrew the screw to remove the impeller from the motor shaft, and the screw just turns without coming out? I am using a 1" wrench to keep the impeller from turning, but the screw will neither loosen or tighten. My washer suddenly stopped cleaning, and it is making a different sound than it did when it was working. It fills with water, and it will drain okay, but there does not appear to be enough water pressure available to the bottom spray arm, and no water seems to get to the upper spray arm. Thank you!
Hello there, we have the same model Kenmore 665.17009400 (about 15 yrs old), problem is the screw that secures the dishwasher to the countertop was accidentally dropped in the bottom, we tried to remove the filter, however, at the point to remove the screw on the impeller it wouldn't move!! @ 1:50 min of your video - is there a solution? thanks so much!
Thank you for this video, I have run into an issue though. I have a washer on the motor shaft that won't come off after I removed the old impeller. Can you tell me if the shaft gets wider and would in essence be making the matter worse by hammering it to try to loosen it?
I have a question I hope someone can assist with. I believe I have this same dishwasher. I found some gunk on the spiky parts on the bottom of my dishwasher and decided to remove all the parts as instructed here in the video to clean. I was able to get that dreaded impeller screw out and when getting to the bottom I found water and some dirt that I was able to clean out. Is it normal for water to be accumulated down there? I want to make sure I don't need new seals. Thanks!
If yours is the same as the one in the video your correct in it not coming apart but, you can flush it out and clean it. I use a soft tooth brush and brush the screen while holding the filter housing over the sink rinseing it with warm warm, A bit tedious if its really built up but it can be done.
Is the middle screw supposed to keep turning for a really long time or does that mean it stuck and will have to be chiseled out? Like 5 minutes spinning.
4:53 - I can't seem to get this seal out. It won't lift out, it won't turn, and even with a screwdriver I haven't been able to pry it out. He doesn't show removing the seal in this video, so I'm guessing it should just lift out, but mine doesn't. Thoughts? EDIT: Ok. I found another video that said to pry it out and not worry about damaging it since it's being replaced.
I own a Kenmore with this design. Having draining issues. I am unable to determine the age. Would this style give you an idea of its manufacture date? Thinking about replacing if it is old.
I’ve taken all the old parts out as shown on the video, however, the shaft that comes up from the motor does did not turn. Using pliers I got it to turn reasonably well. To see if it would continue to turn, I closed the dishwasher door and pushed the cancel/drain button. The dishwasher made a screetch like noise and is back to the shaft not turning -- unless I use pliers. What next?
Do you have to shut off water and power supply in order to clean screen. I think he took off nut from the pump so I assume water needs to be shut off otherwise it will shoot from bottom?
Thanks for your question. It is recommended that any time you are working on the dishwasher, especially if you're near the pump area, that you shut off the water supply. It is also smart to shut off the power supply, so that (even though it is not likely with this particular repair) there is no chance of electrocution. Thanks for your question and good luck with your repair!
Couldn't afford the $70 to fix my impeller, so I whipped out the ol' superglue and fixed it myself :P Not a permanent fix, but hopefully it lasts a few more months.
Jessica Neuhoff when u use ur dish washer does it leave a strange film ? I’ve been told the filter needs to be changed. But I don’t wanna take all this apart when it’s not in there.
@@nojokeauto yes, I'm down to the very bottom but I can't tell if that is supposed to be able to come out or not. I'm down to the black bottom part at 4:54 on this video, but I don't know if that black bottom part should come out too, if so, I can't figure out how to get it out. So I'm going to put it all back together now, I don't think I really got to the dirty part though. I can't find a video about possible removing the bottom black part.
The hex screw in the center of my impeller won’t come out. So when I get to about 1:47 in the video is where I have issues. Husband attempted to help and now we have that portion broken. But I still can’t get the screw out. Ideas?
Hi Jayne, sorry for the delay. I would suggest penetrating oil and time or remove the pump assembly and try to direct some heat on the shaft without damaging the pump housing may be your only recourse.
I know it's a bit late, but use a 1/4" socket in an impact driver and it will come right out. It's a standard thread so you don't need to go the opposite direction to remove it. Something like this- www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20-Volt-MAX-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-1-4-in-Impact-Driver-with-Battery-1-3Ah-Charger-and-Contractor-Bag-DCF885C1/207121879 If you don't own one ask your DYI friends they will most probably have one.
The video is of course done well, however the video has two problems clearly, 1. the back of the workers head is directly in front of the interior assembly - when he actually sets the parts in place, then the back of his head is moved out, and viewers then see the next level of parts installed in place. 2. The video assembly providing video of workers handling and assembly is off screen thus the viewing audience, no matter full screen, small screen cannot see what he is handling nor how he is placing it together with his hands ..
at 1:36 in the video i was taking this part off with vice grips instead of an adjustable wrench (the wrench kept slipping) and the vice grips crushed the plastic into little pieces. it was very brittle. Any idea how i would get that piece off now?
Thanks for your question. Once you've removed the screw in the center, you may be able to pry the plastic piece away with a flat blade screwdriver. Hope this helps!
I think unfortunately you’ll have to break the impeller to remove (should be easy if it’s old and brittle) allowing a better grip of the shaft so you and turn the fastener out.
@@MuttonChops24 that's what I was thinking, broke my dang wrists trying. I don't even have vice grip, just a wrenches, let alone impact driver! poor old Mrs fixit. lol
Here because I needed to see details of chopper blade and spring. However your work on it, and major of work is off the screen so I couldn't see details I needed anyway!!! Disappointed!

i love your video that explaine how to remove and repart parts but in my filter on the top is dirty and i don't know what to do to clean it ????? that smell like a wetting dog .. and my dish too smell that
This was so easy to understand and helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you good information filled video
Thanks! Very helpful. 👍🙏
Exactly what I needed to see, and exactly what I needed to buy. I am impressed.
I got one of these in my rental unit and there seems to be sludge coming all over. How do you prevent that impeller piece form getting torqued too much to get at the screw?
Thanks a lot!
How do you know it does not drain because of these parts and not the actual Pump??
Drain impeller looks fine. Is something supposed to separate the check valves or do they both just lay on top of one another offset.? Looks like there should be something keeping them aligned or else you could just drop them both in afterwards?
I need exactly the parts you use in this video. Cannot seem to find them online. Could you tell me where I can order those ?? Great video!!!
Good video. Went thru all the steps but still not draining. Could the drain hose be plugged? Any tips would be appreciated.
So I have 3 plastic balls that came out, is that normal?
I have the same 2 like you and then a third which is a little smaller than the other 2. As I was taking it apart the smallest one is the first I came across and then the other 2 were in the same locations as you have in this video.
Should I put all 3 back or just the 2 like you did?
I have the same model like the one in this video..
Ya that third ball screw me up
@@MrLBghost I don't know for sure but I don't think on our case it matters. Worked fine with 3, this video shows it normal to have 2, and I think I only put 2 back and it still seems to work as it should so... I dunno lol
most only have two
Took me 2 hours to Google and find where 3rd (and smaller) check ball belongs. It'll make sense after you search for this other part, "Whirlpool Dishwasher Inlet Base with Seal", to give the visuals. The ball goes in the center of the black "seal" portion.
Thanks bud,great job
I have to replace the entire pump assembly. Is the procedure the same?
What does it mean when I try to unscrew the screw to remove the impeller from the motor shaft, and the screw just turns without coming out? I am using a 1" wrench to keep the impeller from turning, but the screw will neither loosen or tighten. My washer suddenly stopped cleaning, and it is making a different sound than it did when it was working. It fills with water, and it will drain okay, but there does not appear to be enough water pressure available to the bottom spray arm, and no water seems to get to the upper spray arm. Thank you!
Your tutorial solved my problem thx
Nice clean video. Thanks.
In the last step, before tight up the lower arm, you missed one plastic washer/bearing.
Where do you find the filter?
Give a close up while youre emoving that bolt
Hello there, we have the same model Kenmore 665.17009400 (about 15 yrs old), problem is the screw that secures the dishwasher to the countertop was accidentally dropped in the bottom, we tried to remove the filter, however, at the point to remove the screw on the impeller it wouldn't move!! @ 1:50 min of your video - is there a solution? thanks so much!
Thank you for this video, I have run into an issue though. I have a washer on the motor shaft that won't come off after I removed the old impeller. Can you tell me if the shaft gets wider and would in essence be making the matter worse by hammering it to try to loosen it?
I have a question I hope someone can assist with. I believe I have this same dishwasher. I found some gunk on the spiky parts on the bottom of my dishwasher and decided to remove all the parts as instructed here in the video to clean. I was able to get that dreaded impeller screw out and when getting to the bottom I found water and some dirt that I was able to clean out. Is it normal for water to be accumulated down there? I want to make sure I don't need new seals. Thanks!
I know it’s been a while, but can that screen/filter be taken apart and cleaned? Mine is full of debris and cannot separate it to clean it
If yours is the same as the one in the video your correct in it not coming apart but, you can flush it out and clean it. I use a soft tooth brush and brush the screen while holding the filter housing over the sink rinseing it with warm warm, A bit tedious if its really built up but it can be done.
Is the middle screw supposed to keep turning for a really long time or does that mean it stuck and will have to be chiseled out? Like 5 minutes spinning.
Is there another gasket between the bottom of the dishwasher and the motor ... dose that go bad?
Followed as per instructs. No draining. What did I do wrong?
You are my new god. I gift you 20 check balls
4:53 - I can't seem to get this seal out. It won't lift out, it won't turn, and even with a screwdriver I haven't been able to pry it out. He doesn't show removing the seal in this video, so I'm guessing it should just lift out, but mine doesn't. Thoughts?
EDIT: Ok. I found another video that said to pry it out and not worry about damaging it since it's being replaced.
Does this model of dishwasher need to have its filter cleaned?
I own a Kenmore with this design. Having draining issues. I am unable to determine the age. Would this style give you an idea of its manufacture date? Thinking about replacing if it is old.
I’ve taken all the old parts out as shown on the video, however, the shaft that comes up from the motor does did not turn. Using pliers I got it to turn reasonably well. To see if it would continue to turn, I closed the dishwasher door and pushed the cancel/drain button. The dishwasher made a screetch like noise and is back to the shaft not turning -- unless I use pliers. What next?
Replace the motor
Am anyone tell me the model number of this dishwasher? Mine isn’t draining
How long should this actually take? Does it really only take 12 minutes?
Do you have to shut off water and power supply in order to clean screen. I think he took off nut from the pump so I assume water needs to be shut off otherwise it will shoot from bottom?
Thanks for your question. It is recommended that any time you are working on the dishwasher, especially if you're near the pump area, that you shut off the water supply. It is also smart to shut off the power supply, so that (even though it is not likely with this particular repair) there is no chance of electrocution. Thanks for your question and good luck with your repair!
yeah, electrocution tends to mess up your day.
Couldn't afford the $70 to fix my impeller, so I whipped out the ol' superglue and fixed it myself :P Not a permanent fix, but hopefully it lasts a few more months.
Hey how do u change the filter on this same model?
same question
Jessica Neuhoff when u use ur dish washer does it leave a strange film ? I’ve been told the filter needs to be changed. But I don’t wanna take all this apart when it’s not in there.
@@nojokeauto yes, I'm down to the very bottom but I can't tell if that is supposed to be able to come out or not. I'm down to the black bottom part at 4:54 on this video, but I don't know if that black bottom part should come out too, if so, I can't figure out how to get it out. So I'm going to put it all back together now, I don't think I really got to the dirty part though. I can't find a video about possible removing the bottom black part.
Does the impeller to motor screw loosen counter clockwise like most screws or the opposite?
Counter clockwise
My husband and I nearly got a divorce over getting this apart.
What if it's still not draining.
The hex screw in the center of my impeller won’t come out. So when I get to about 1:47 in the video is where I have issues. Husband attempted to help and now we have that portion broken. But I still can’t get the screw out. Ideas?
Hello Jayne, we are currently researching this for you. Will have a response soon. Thanks
Hi Jayne, sorry for the delay. I would suggest penetrating oil and time or remove the pump assembly and try to direct some heat on the shaft without damaging the pump housing may be your only recourse.
I know it's a bit late, but use a 1/4" socket in an impact driver and it will come right out. It's a standard thread so you don't need to go the opposite direction to remove it. Something like this- www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20-Volt-MAX-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-1-4-in-Impact-Driver-with-Battery-1-3Ah-Charger-and-Contractor-Bag-DCF885C1/207121879 If you don't own one ask your DYI friends they will most probably have one.
Agreed, the impact action will get it right off!
The video is of course done well, however the video has two problems clearly, 1. the back of the workers head is directly in front of the interior assembly - when he actually sets the parts in place, then the back of his head is moved out, and viewers then see the next level of parts installed in place. 2. The video assembly providing video of workers handling and assembly is off screen thus the viewing audience, no matter full screen, small screen cannot see what he is handling nor how he is placing it together with his hands ..
Did you changed any part or you just clean it. I didn’t saw you put new part
Removing that nut is crazy.
The video doesn't even show him removing it
So if I replace all this... and my dishwasher still won't drain... it's a clog or pump?
Hi Brian, what is your dishwasher model number and I will be happy to look in to this for you.
Hi, I did all up to 4:48, and dishwasher is still not draining well. Model 15951.
He says it’s a real ez job, get the heck out of here, my back hurts all the way thru the job
at 1:36 in the video i was taking this part off with vice grips instead of an adjustable wrench (the wrench kept slipping) and the vice grips crushed the plastic into little pieces. it was very brittle. Any idea how i would get that piece off now?
Thanks for your question. Once you've removed the screw in the center, you may be able to pry the plastic piece away with a flat blade screwdriver. Hope this helps!
@@FixDotCom I cant get the screw out as the plastic nut on the impeller was crushed
I think unfortunately you’ll have to break the impeller to remove (should be easy if it’s old and brittle) allowing a better grip of the shaft so you and turn the fastener out.
@@jbirdharold6640 you think an impact driver would sort it out?
@@MuttonChops24 that's what I was thinking, broke my dang wrists trying.
I don't even have vice grip, just a wrenches, let alone impact driver!
poor old Mrs fixit. lol
Here because I needed to see details of chopper blade and spring. However your work on it, and major of work is off the screen so I couldn't see details I needed anyway!!! Disappointed!
