    Removal of the Bottom "Propeller" is out of sequence. Check at 2:38, removal of the spray assembly is there.
    What I found was the metal, round filter would only fit in the slot one way. It is strangely cut and that is what clued me into my trouble. Also there are two slots in the bottom frame and I was trying to put it in the back one. If you do not properly seat it in the forward slot (closest to the door), the plastic shroud will not seat properly and everything will not go back together properly. Sorry, I don't know all the part names.
    See Part 2: Check your drain line, easy check:

    See Part 3: How to remove and replace the drain hose: • Dishwasher Repair | Dr...
    IMPORTANT! Shut off your circuit breaker before working on any appliance. Be Safe, SHUT OFF THE POWER.
    This is Part 1 of 2 Videos. See Part 2 here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYHTdz...
    Kitchen Aid Dishwasher does not get dishes clean, so needs to be disassembled and cleaned out and put back together.
    One trick, I could not find any of the torsion drivers, so I used a metric hex/allan wrench set, being careful not to over tighten or crank too hard. A little tip for you too. Dishwashers will clog up all the time with water deposits and food gunk. There are all those expensive cleaners out on the market but the best and cheapest way to clean them is with white vinegar. Simply pour it into the dishwasher when it is empty and run it on the pots and pans setting on hot. Always make sure to pre heat your water too by running the sink till it starts steaming. This will make it easier for your dishwasher to heat the water. If you don't, then when you turn on the dishwasher it starts to fill with cold water and has to heat it on its own. Run the vinegar though through it at least once a month or so and it will extend the life of the dishwasher. Hope this helps. Just try taking that arm back off though and putting it back together making sure everything is fitting properly.
    Two things to help...
    1) The first step after removing the shelves, which is removing that upper spindle and tube that runs along the back...it doesn't just snap out...you must look for the tabs and push them outwards, then pull the plastic tube off the ceiling and back wall.
    2) When putting the "propeller" back on, make sure the spindle isn't binded and can sort of move about loosely. If it doesn't, then pull it through (up) with some pliers until it moves more freely. Remember, this part is reverse threaded which is why you can hold onto it and spin the arm around and get it to unscrew.
    TIP from a viewer: the water supply up the back to top rack have thumb keeper brackets, if you just try to pull them off more than likes break the bracket rivets. press the tab and pull, save you from busting your dish washer. NEVER use a Dewalt or any power tool, these large thread plastic screws and strip in a second, use a hand tool.
    Another Tip: One of my viewers indicated that he cleaned out the upper and lower spray components and he says it helped make it work even better. Perhaps his tip will help you too. He says: I don't think you talked about cleaning out the spray arm on the upper rack. I took that arm apart to some extent and flushed some nasties out of it. Tested by running water strongly from the bath tap into it to make sure all the holes were clear. This was a good trick with the lower arms as well. If someone doesn't have a turkey baster an ear syringe is also a good way to get rid of water (thereafter retired from ear duty!)
    The large gray disc part that is removed at 6:16 actually come apart and there can be more gunk inside it. The round part with the mesh screen can be pulled apart from the larger piece with the gear-like edge. I used a small screwdriver to pry it back moving around the edge a little at a time. Then it just snaps back together after cleaning. It only goes on one way (which is nice).
    Good luck.

    February 2024 and your video is a lifesaver! I was so stressed trying to find the filter before, but then this Midwestern dad made it easy and even a little entertaining. I hope you are now "making what a repairman makes" with your 1 million views! 🎉

    My Kitchen Aid dishwasher was not emptying. I followed his directions and found the filter, filter cover and locations under the filter were seriously blocked with a variety of food items. After a good cleaning and reassembly the dishwasher is working perfectly. Many thanks for your video.

I searched high and low for a service manual, but couldn't find one that was from a site that I trusted. Then I found this and you showed me everything I needed! Job is now done, and the unit is going through a test run with a reduced load. Thanks again!

  • @mjay858
    @mjay858 2 месяца назад +2

    Wanted to add I also appreciated how you made it so approchable. Cause there was a second when you mentioned the head of the tool you needed by number and by brain was like yeah I am out I can’t do this but then because you said “yeah look it me looking so important/ knowledgeable-really it’s just a star screw” or something to that nature I stuck a round and now my washer is fixed. Girls can do it too! I always wondered how men knew how to do these things when we all went to the same school. I now figure it’s just that men are brave enough to try that’s it! And secondly their wives are looking at them like if you can’t fix it we are screwed so he tries. So I decided to be brave and try things and there is so much skill growth I think a lot of women miss out on in adult hood that men get through trying and learning. Of course men often have this time to try cause women are hiking down the fort cooking and caring for children

    • @FROSTYLIFE
      @FROSTYLIFE  2 месяца назад +1

      You are absolutely right. Being brave and trying something new, even if it is all new and intimidating, is the key to learning a new skill. And yes, often the lady of the house is already very busy holding down the fort and tending to the needs of children. Thank you for such a kind and encouraging message. I am very happy this helped you.

    @rfuller02 7 лет назад +5

    For those of you that want to clean the cutter, removal is fairly easy. The back part is usually spring loaded. Use a screwdriver on the back side to push the blade away and then lift up. Please note where the screen seats. Spent 10 minutes trying to get it to seat in a slot it didn't belong in. Clean the screen and cutter. To replace it, use an open ended wrench between the blade and screen to pull the blade out. Also note the screen may be unidirectional. My Maytag's screen had two notches. Drop the screen in and then line up the backend connector and then pull out the wrench.

    Thanks Tom, I sure appreciate you taking the time to make this video. And adding the comedy, especially with Johnny 5, in Short Curcit. That cracked me up. I have been wanting to clean my dishwasher for years but couldnt figure out how to get to the filter. Also, for anyone that has an older model Kitchen aid like the one in Toms video, if the heating coil goes, it cant be replaced. The part has been discontinued. The kitchen aid guy said they had one, however, when i received the part it was different, it had a bigger curve in it. My husband made it fit, but it. Is not the correct part. When I called Kitchenaid they said the actual replacement part was discontinued and the part they sent me was the closet part to the original. Thanks again Tom? 16:17

    Thank you for a very helpful and entertaining lesson. I'm very glad you seem to have the same dishwasher model as I. Made everything very clear.
    One thing you didn't account for in the estimate of 10 minutes to do the job was the two hours of cleaning the gunk out of all the nooks and crannies unearthed by removing all those parts. But as other people have noted in their comments, I get a lot of credit for doing it.

    2) When putting the "propeller" back on, make sure the spindle isn't binded and can sort of move about loosely. If it doesn't, then pull it through (up) with some pliers until it moves more freely.

  • @technomed8488
    @technomed8488 3 года назад +3

    There is one step I have not seen covered well in any of these videos on Kitchenaid dishwashers:
    If you remove the metal "shredder" from beneath its cover (the one at the bottom, with a single screw to the left)...
    Beware! Replacing it is not as simple as pulling it out. What I did was use a pair of needle-nose pliers, holding it with the plastic gear mesh part fully pushed-in on its spring, then push the entire part down with the pliers into its semi-circular slot on the bottom. Then, holding the part in place with my other hand at the top, I slid the pliers off, allowing the spring to then let the plastic gear mesh engage with the gear shaft. If I did not do it that way, the result was that the gear mesh was disengaged with its gear, causing an ugly noise and obviously not working correctly. If others are encountering this issue, they may, like me, fail to create a video simply because they do not want to go through that tricky maneuver again, just for the camera!

    Dishes were not coming out clean, especially on the top rack. Watched your video, and disassembled my Maytag and the screen cover had five toothpicks and covered in gunk - restricting the water flow. Cleaned the cover, then cleaned off the screen and then cleaned all the debris in the pit which included broken glass and plastic pieces from my cutlery box. Washed the filter and top screen.
    Dishwasher works like a charm. Full water flow and you can hear the water circulating now. Ran one quick cycle with no dishes and then ran a hot cycle with a bottle of Finish dishwasher cleaner and now my dishes and glasses are coming out sparkling clean.

      Frosty Life the water supply up the back to top rack have thumb keeper brackets, if you just try to pull them off more than likes break the bracket rivets. press the tab and pull, save you from busting your dish washer. NEVER use a Dewalt or any power tool, these large thread plastic screws and strip in a second, use a hand tool. very intertaining vid tho.

      +Gregory Peck I agree with those points including the entertaining part. I've done the job before and am about to do it again thanks to dropping stuff in the DW without knowing it. Last time it was mostly shards of broken glass, which didn't get cleaned out quickly enough and screwed up the pump. Same model this time as shown, last time exact same guts but in the Whirlpool equivalent model. Sheesh.

    I want to thank you for making this video. As a single mom with three handicapped kids still at home I cannot afford the $160-180 to call in the local repair guy. While it took me considerably longer than 15 minutes (2 1/2 hours), it was because I kept losing the parts. I watched it twice and then kept pausing it the third time till the job was done. And guess what? No tears! You are a hero to this woman!

    • @FROSTYLIFE
      @FROSTYLIFE  10 лет назад

      I love hearing how this helped. I really had no idea when I made this video how many people it would help, and it is VERY encouraging to me when people like you take the time to tell me that it helped them out. I am very happy to hear that. Have a great weekend.

  • @MoreEffinCowbell
    @MoreEffinCowbell 11 лет назад

    I stumbled upon this looking for a video on how to clean my washing machine. Ended up watching the whole thing just to hear all the witty commentary. I've never seen someone so happy fixing a kitchen appliance before (I would have been cursing two minutes into the video LOL). Never thought a repair video could ever cheer me up. Oh by the way, If nobody guessed the movie, it's from Short Circuit... Did I win!? My dishwasher could use a cleaning. Come on by, afterwards I'll put on Short Circuit :)

  • @parkrichard4464
    @parkrichard4464 6 лет назад +2

    Great video. Helped me a lot. Another video told me to check the little rubber flappers that the top rack plugs into. In my case one flapper had broken off and thankfully I found it. The other flapper seems flimsy. So I took that assembly apart, very easy to do. Then I traced around the flapper "gasket" on a cottage cheese lid. I cut out only one hole since we use only the upper position. I put it back together in such a way that the remaining flapper never goes into the water stream. This completely plugged the lower hole. Now the upper rack works better than it ever has.

    This was absolutely spot on! Thank You so much for posting this video. I spent more tiime surfing the web on finding manuals etc... to help guide me than it took for me to watch your video and fix our dishwasher! I cannot thank you enough! If you have any other DYI projects around the house I will definately watch you! The commentary was funny and I especially loved your yellow Lab at the end! I have a yellow lab as well! Great Job in helping friends and paying it forward!

  • @georgewarner9658

    This video helped me revive my dishwasher. By following the steps and enjoying the wry humor, our dishwasher is once again cleaning the top rack. That the video has had over 1.3M views is amazing. Really? Who knew. One word of advice, if you are not careful (and I must not have been) when trying to unscrew the mashirator cover, the screw bit can slip down into the slot for the water outlet. Before panic ensued, by briefly starting the dishwasher, the screw bit was floated out & was retrieved. Whew, that was close. As we go into the 2020 Holidays, it is great that the dishwasher is once again ready to go. Thanks again for the video.

    Frosty Life,
    I just want to say a quick thank you. Your video was not only able to draw a couple chuckles out of me...I actually learned something! Your presentation was so attention grabbing, I was able to recall from memory 3 or so days later how to effectively tear apart my dishwasher and put it back together again. Right down to having every tool I needed without having to make the many frustrating trips back to the toolbox because I guessed wrong five times in a row. My dishes have never been so clean! Thanks.
