    I’m a 64 year old woman with non draining dishwasher on a holiday weekend. Found this - looked exactly like mine. Took me awhile as I am NOT a DIYer, and not much confidence but MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, it fixed it!! Thank you so very much! PS my knees will never be the same..🤷‍♀️

    OMG thank you so much for this video!! I'm a 14 teen year old and i have my chores, one of them is cleaning dishes! I absolutely HATE hand washing the dishes so the washer machine is a precious angel to me. When it stopped working i was mortified. I watched this video and followed all the steps, i ended up finding one of those tubby things deep down was clogged with food! I cleared it out and put it all back together, no more leaks! Determination to not wash dishes can sure get you far xD
    THANK YOU SO MUCH

    Thank you! I'm a 54-year old woman and have never worked on a dishwasher before, but I am the family handyperson. Your video guided me beautifully through the steps I needed to take and the tools I needed to use to clean my dishwasher. Mine was really gross compared to the one in your video. I'm running it now and hoping the problem is solved. If not, I know you have other videos. Thanks!

      I’m a 68 year old woman and my dishwasher is 18 years old. I was grossed out by the amount of gunk under that last big screen you take off the bottom! My dad was a plumber though so I preserved. Mine was not this exact model so I’m hoping that flap thing is back on right as it was off when I pulled that basket out. If not, I’ll be taking it all apart to turn it around!

    getting up and down :) Not the draining problem but boy did it get a good cleaning. Thanks for the video. On to tackle the drain hose...

  • @JKFlaker
    @JKFlaker 6 лет назад +6

    Great help thanks! Was able to take apart easily and get it clean. I'll also add that if you reach your hand into the sump hole in the back once that basket is out and reach towards the center of the washer you'll find a small impeller blade on a shaft. Mine had all sorts of crap wrapped around it. It was a bit difficult and hard to clean but half the gunk I cleaned out came from that opening.
    I'll also add to make sure ALL the holes on the sprayer arms are clean. Not only won't it spray well but I believe it's also what propels the arms to spin. Especially the arm beneath the upper rack. There are holes on the underside and very tip that look to be for this very purpose. I took it off the rack and cleaned under sink with a bent paper clip.

    March 2020 Thank you so much for this video. My son always says "Mom always check RUclips, they fix everything." Water was not draining out of the dishwasher and in the last load I even had 2 small puddles of water and suds on the floor. I thought it might be a clogged filter, but didn't really have any way of checking or how to take it apart. I found your video with the same washer that I have and that helped to watch your video and the step by step directions. Usually, I would call a repair person, but I am staying in my home and I don't want a stranger coming in due to the COVID 19 virus. I am well, but i'm in the older group of people who will be safer if we don't go outside or be around other people until the time has passed. I'm so pround of myself, I took pictures at each stage of repair/filter cleaning and have now run one load of dishes (after testing with a rinse cycle) and no puddles! You saved me money and the stress of having someone come in the house that may not be totally healthy...plus I'm very proud of myself, at 73 years old I fixed a major appliance...with your help. Thank you.

    After a painter cleaned their paint trays in my kitchen sink, with a brand new garbage disposal I might add, my dishwasher started to overflow. I watched this video all the way thru once, took a deep breath, grabbed a screwdriver, and did everything that you did step by step with multiple pauses. My dishwasher is now better than brand new. Thank you for all the helpful tips and caution to be careful on the clips.

  • @garybrown9723
    @garybrown9723 5 лет назад +2

    Great tutorial. Quick potential shortcut for those tackling the drain hose. Almost all GE units drain upwards (hence the drain pump). There are two valves that prevent backflow on most machines. One immediately inside the sump where the drain motor connects to the unit and one at the lower elbow on the exterior drain line. Both are the first to clog and/or fail...allowing "pumped out" water to drain back into the unit. Check these small "redish" rubber valves to ensure they are not torn, worn or otherwise clogged with debris. The one at the sump can be visually inspected from inside the dishwasher. The in-line valve is sandwiched between two plastic fittings in the drain line itself.

      @leannajanebarnes Год назад

    This Worked!!!! I am in my mid 60's and agree with the earlier comment, hardest part was up and down with my broken foot. The angles were a challenge too but I managed and so happy with the result.
    I had trouble unscrewing some parts with weakish hands so I cut a piece off of an old yoga mat. WORKED GREAT!
    Loved channeling my very handy do-it-yourself father! He taught me well and so did you, Adam
    I can't find the support button.

  • @sirdroll
    @sirdroll 9 лет назад +3

    Adam: Great job. One thing I thought might be helpful to other DIYers: my 2009 Quiet Power 3 underwent a change in the value flapper system. I was searching for the one you showed. I was concerned that mine had "disappeared" at some point. My model has three in the motor and no longer has the external flapper as in your machine. Thanks for a very helpful video. It's nice to be able to reef on the hub nut, knowing that it will come off with the right amount of pressure. Having a few decades worth of disassemble experience, I HATE cranking on a fastener if I'm not sure it actually is supposed to come off the way it appears. Keep those vids coming.

  • @johngates453
    @johngates453 6 лет назад +1

    Very helpful. 15 yr. old GE Triton XL . Able to clean and troubleshoot. Now testing. Not able to release the last grey piece that has the one way valve. If this cleaning doesn't work, I'm guessing it's the final flap valve to the sump pump; or the pump itself that isn't working to drain . Had lots of water in bottom of washer, before disassembly and cleaning. A challenge for a 75 yr. old man with arthritis, who never tried such a repair before. Good experience; your video is very well done. thank you.

    This is my first comment ever on a RUclips video. Because I had to say THANK YOU! This is exactly what I my dishwasher needed. It was appalling the gunk and junk, hard water buildup I found in my dishwasher! Not to mention (I have small children at home) the plastic fork, a dice, and a sparkly butterfly barrette I found in various nooks and crannies! Now the dishwasher is running smoothly, no flooding, and I can't wait to see if they'll actually be clean with the normal cycle. Thank you thank you thank you!

    Great video! This was a huge help in identifying the problem in my dishwasher. While I was inspecting the sump I noticed that it looked like the rubber was degrading. I am curious if using tablets containing bleach caused this issue? My question, can you replace that sump, and if so, how much work is involved? My unit is a little more than 8 years old. Thanks!!

    3:24 this drain is where the water flows out of the machine ; it's called the sump inlet
    3:48 float switch
    4:21 if still have standing water, may have a bad drain pump or the hose that drains into the disposal or sink could be clogged

My problem seems to be a little different in that the top rack does not get clean because the arm below it does not rotate. This is why I found your site in the first place. Everything seems to be in working order except that one thing, so it still is not working. Thank you Adam for your great video.

I had to better my husband who had to use a flat head screw driver down one side to release a lip down further. I have put it back in now but next time I have it out I am sanding down those edges a little..

    @rfrancis3940 3 года назад

    My dishwasher was making a knocking sound ever since we moved into the house - I didn't see anything out of whack except perhaps the lower spray arm hitting something but the dishwasher was working well. Suddenly the knocking stopped and I knew something was wrong. The dishes didn't clean the same so I investigated and found that the metal piece under the bottom spray arm was bent and no longer spinning - I opened up the floor of the dishwasher and it seemed all was good if not a tiny bit dirty. With your video I was able to remove everything and replace it - Thank you for a great video and this really was wonderful.

  • @davidhahn5650
    @davidhahn5650 8 лет назад +4

    great video. odd engineering that you have to remove the upper sprayer line to remove the drain cover. unf this cleanout didnt solve my problem so im off to the drain line video. also you mentioned the rubber flap/sphincter at bottom but i felt nothing but a very small hole no way i was getting my finger in there. also when i removed the bottom sprayer arm there was some kind of cracked ring ( 2.5" wide and abt 1/2" high) beneath, cant tell if it it's from the unit or some long-ago washed device but the color matches.

    OK, I followed the instructions and cleaned a ton of icky gunk out of GF's dishwasher. I don't think it was ever cleaned before! I also noticed that the holes in the sprayer arms were plugged with hard water deposits and other material. Cleaned them out with a pick tool, soaked in vinegar, then rinsed with water. Machine works much better on 1st try... Hopefully it will be OK for a while! Thanks!

    Wow, video is spot on and not only fixed the problem but probably saved hundreds of dollars between the service charge and lost work time. I'm a plumber and should probably know more about dishwashers but it's not something we really work on. I do know it would have cost way more than two hundred dollars and for that I'm very thankful. With amount of build up and debris ubder the screen and in the sump screen im wondering if the pods ate fulky breaking up of it that is nornal after 15 years of not being cleaned. Looking forward to watching your other videos and hitting the thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

    Worked perfectly, except that I did break the small tab that you warned me about. Doesn't seem to be a problem with operation. The gray sump basket was just covered with a paper pulp looking ooze, that was the aha moment. Thanks for the video post and willingness to share your knowledge.

    @kevinmahaney495 5 лет назад +2

    Hi Adam. Great video. Helped me get all the through with ease so o could thoroughly clean all the built up gunk over lord knows how many years.
    One part that might be important you might want to splice into this video. When I removed the center hub and began scrubbing it over my sink, a tiny metal ring that sits down in the center of the hub fell out and almost washed right down my drain in the running water. I’m not sure if it is meant to come out so easily, but mine did not appear to be locked in in any way. A quick warning of said washer might be helpful. I have no idea of its overall importance. But just thought I’d share.

      @@kesiathibodeau4780 this is ridiculously late, but use pliers. Just clamp down and give it a quick twist. That worked for me just now and it didn't break.

    I just tackled this project again. Look at my post from about six months prior about cleaning the impeller underneath. As good and helpful as this video was they overlooked this equally important step. You need to reach down the sump hole towards the center and clean out that impeller arm. Still a very helpful video. Thanks for posting.

    I have a GE Quietpower 1 (looks exactly the same inside) that wasn't cleaning and wasn't draining water at the bottom....followed all your directions and took everything apart and cleaned all the parts and filters. Then I ran the dishwasher on HOT START / HOT WASH / HEAVY LOAD with 1 cup of white vinegar in a measuring cup which was sitting in the top rack... It is nice and clean and running beautiful again. YEAH! Thanks for your video :) saved me a repair cost.

    Thank you! This worked perfectly. It was the piece underneath the sump cover that was the problem. All the little holes were clogged with calcium buildup and I had to go in there and clean them out to get water flowing into the dishwasher again. Saved me a call to a repairman, and couldn't have taken more than 45 mins start to finish.

    Excellent Video. My problem ended up being that I forgot to pop out the stopper when I replaced the garbage disposal (instruction #17 on the garbage disposal if I had taken the time to read). But the dishwasher needed a good cleaning. The filter was 50% plugged. Hopefully it will start cleaning a little better. Probably one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thanks so much.

    You are a great instructor. Very good video. Will now go to my rental house and follow your steps on my 18 month old Whirlpool Gold Series that should not have a pump problem (but with mass production I know that is a low probability); and hopefully will find junk that is only plugging/slowing the drain.

  • @jillsmith-mott373
    @jillsmith-mott373 7 лет назад

    This is video is great. I fixed my dishwasher once with it. When it ceased draining again, I came back for a refresher view. It only took about 20 minutes this time, and finding the tools was about half of that! There was a paper label stuck to the backflow valve (down where he says you should feel a little rubber flap). Cleared that out, and all is good.

  • @stefanvdwalt
    @stefanvdwalt 4 года назад +2

    Superbly helpful, thanks very much! For others with older GE models: the little gray "sump bucket" is hooked around the outlet pipe, so pulling isn't enough, you also need to rotate it anti-clockwise while lifting.

    I don't really know how, but this fixed my issue.
    So, I needed to find a video of a model that resembled mine, because apparently all later models were made much easier. My model requires that screws be taken out to remove the top rack.
    I managed to take the entire thing apart thanks to you, and I still couldn't drain it.
    I put it back together, thank you for going through those steps at the end by the way, and then I ran it and I reset it. The standing water drained out.
    I'm going to have someone look at it, because it's probably an issue with the pump, but at least now I don't have a bunch of standing water to deal with.

    I am so glad I found this video! I had standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher and had no idea on how to fix it. This walked me through step by step and after only a half hour, the dishwasher was working perfectly. I'm embarrased to say that after owning my dishwasher for 13 years I had never taken it apart to clean. It was disgusting! Glad I was able to fix it myself without having to call a plumber. I did break the clips for the top rack as they were old and brittle so I ordered new ones on Amazon. I also am investing in a new fine filter since I couldn't take the old one apart to completely clean.

  • @natemck7131
    @natemck7131 3 года назад

    Great video. I followed instructions. We never used the dishwasher. Then after years we turned it on and the water wouldn't drain. I had changed garbage disposal prior and theres a piece that needs to be knocked out before connecting the drainage hose to dishwater. I didnt do this because I never used the dishwater or knew the two were related. Something for someone else who may have trouble. But I know assembly now thanks to you!
