- I have a GE dishwasher that had water sitting at the bottom of the dishwasher that was not draining, so this is a video on how I fixed the dishwasher.

Great video! I followed step-by-step and was able to clear the blockage from the drain line. Thank you!!!
I just did this myself! it worked ! thank you for the video! Don't forget to put the gasket on! I fumbled that and realized my mistake when I had a leak! After that, the dishwasher worked like a charm!
Yes you did a really great job detailing and documenting everything! 👏🏻
THANK YOU!! Hey man, thanks... My dishwasher was not draining, so I followed your steps. Luckily I was able to solve it at the garbage disposal. I unhooked the hose and it was clogged where the pipe meets the disposal. I cleared out the clog and runs like a champ again! You're the man!!!
Found a piece of a matchbox car in mine 😂 thank you for this video! Worked like a charm! You are greatly appreciated!
Very cool footage from inside the running dishwasher! You think outside of the box. Thank you.
My dishwasher wasn't draining. Came to YT for tips, and your vid was one of the vids that helped me figure out how to fix the problem. Thanks for posting!
The inside shots are cool.
Very thorough and excellent footage. Good job man.
Had this problem. The drain line went up to a vent that sits on the counter, then a hose ran from vent to the sink waste line. The blockage was at the vent connection on the top of the counter. I have no idea why they put a vent on a dishwasher drain line, I have lived in several different places and installed a few dishwashers and never seen one before. Tried to blow air thru the waste line from the dishwasher but no flow. Didn't want to disassemble the entre line (weaved its way thru under sink) so I took a wet vac and put suction on the line. Bingo a wad of junk came out and now I could easily blow air thru waste line.
All works good now. Before I saw this video I assumed it was the drain pump on the dishwasher so I had scheduled a repair with a local company. The repair estimate was around $300+ to replace pump. Thanks for the video.
the air vent is used to stop sink water from going back into the dishwasher. it stops back flow by having an air disconnect.
Islands have vents too, and it drained before the city services went haywire, and the 'third party contractors' put it back. Reckon them are the same people that bolted that seat down, with the bolts they was supposed to put in the window vent? Listen, they have better things to do than be responsible. 😊
Have the exact same model. Helped a bunch. Thanks!
Had to unclog mine a couple of days ago. I couldn't hear the pump, so I guessed it must have a jam at the impeller. Easy fix? Unpopped the spray bar & filter screens to access the sump, I can't get to the impeller from the top., so i used an aquavac to remove the water, concentrating at the impeller entrance & managed to suck the item jamming it. It worked fine. Found that it may have been a small bit of bone or egg shell that got past the filter screen.
Best detailed video needed. Thank you, from the mechanically deficient.
Very informative, thank you!
great video and very well done. just what i was looking for
Thank you so much!! ❤
4:30 ...where my inner voice says fuck that, I'm going to have to call someone
😅 me too 😅
Or you say to yourself “Well dishwasher…we had a nice 10 years together. But I think you’re work here is done. Time to get a new one!”
This really helped me out! Nicely done-nicely explained. Found 5 freezie pop plastic ends in the input and discharge pump. The only thing that wasn't clear in the video was how to disconnect the electrical part from the pump. I was able to leave it dangle while I fished out the plastic pieces with a needle nose pliers and a long tweezer. Also had a lot of gunk built up at the point where the discharge tube connects to the disposal.
Nice job I’ll be doing the same thing with mine.
Great video and great information
Thank you brother. I will check my machine same this
Shop vac super helpful as well if u own one.
I just did it :) Thank you!
Outstanding vidio,very informative
wow great vid!
Good detective work like a dinner murder mystery
There is a check valve flapper in the exit port
I found a twister tir jammed in there! Thank for the tip
I have this exact dishwasher, what a PITA
Good video if someone really has the same issue. mine is drain water from sink back to DW. Thanks
Well it wasn't flooding before the city sewer flooded the house. 😊
Great video. What type of camera did you use for the inside footage?
that silicon piece looks identical to ones on my gourmia airfryer removal tray. They are annoying in that they can come off of it easily.
What size hex did you use to get the bolts out?
Thanks.
Thank you
Trying to remove those screws on the drain cover, but nothing is working. What size is the socket that fits it?
1/4 inch socket with an extension works best
any suggestions to get hard water stains off the plastic interior baskets ? Only 3 months old
Try running it with white vinegar. After it starts And fills pour 2 cups of white vinegar in and restart
I tried to blow into the drain line and could not but when I sucked on the line, I was able to syphon out all the water from the dishwasher. I think the drain line has a one way valve cause when i disconnected the line from the drain pump, and blew into it, I was able to blow water out of the hose b ut when I sucked from the pump side, I could not suck through the line
Good to know!
There is a one way check valve in the end closest to the pump. So you can't blow in the tube.
How often does that happen?
You make it so easy but me it was a mess and no dishwasher. 😢
You can use a shop vac
I have the same dishwasher and it does this all the time.
What do you have to do when this happens?
I had cleaned my filter and put it back together please help I’m the first home owner It was draining fine before cleaning I noticed a orange ball I vacuumed out of it was that important to it draining?
Also check your drainage lines
I believe that is the check ball that only let's water go out but not back in, which is why he couldn't blow through the hose in the beginning of the video.
How can I remove the nut from the drain manually? I don’t have a screw gun 😢
A ratchet, or even a screwdriver with removable heads should do it.
I believe my sink is clogged. that would cause a backflow into the dishwasher, correct?
I think the drain hose needs to be hooked up to the top of the sink not in the floor check you drain hose.
You should get a shop vac and a flashlight
Changed the pump, remove all debris from tube. Not working for me.
You cannot blow back into the dishwasher as there is a valve which does not let the water come back.
Thank god. Cuz I really didn't want to try that
Blew into mine n got bubbles
The last video I watched showed the guy blowing in and getting lots of bubbles.
so what was the problem then if you didnt have a blockage @2wheelsOrDieNC
Mine has a blow back stopper that only opens from the dishwasher side
On the pump
When I turn on my dishwasher, it starts drawing water, and then it stops and does not start washing, and it takes out the water after the end of the program. What is the problem?
I'm having the same issue. Any advice? I took the dishwasher out and tilted it, heard some trickle and it ran a cycle afterwards and drained. Now today same alarm error. Seems to drain and then alarm before it starts. I could not get at the waste pump without dismantling a lot of the machine but I could auck/siphoned water put of the waste pipe so not sure that's the problem.
There is a water filterfor the water entering the dishwasher. Remove it and make sure the filter is clean I couldn't find anything else I could do
@@larmckenna
You are brave for putting your lips on that, sir!
Hi sir how to apply as an white goods technician
Sponge work better for tie spots
Im so dumb i washed a bunch of cans beans come in and forgot to remove the paper i csn see all the paper in myvdrain pipe ive tried everything cant get the papervout no matter what i do i think im gonna save up and buy a new dishwasher
Guess you didn’t know about the check valve 🤣
Dishwasher not draining entirely. I have removed the filter...its clean. I have removed the screen...its clean. But when I push the Cancel button after cycle has ended, the water drains completely. Help...I'm an almost 80 year old woman.
So after pushing the button IT DOES drain completely, or it does not? If it does, than wonderful.
I also have to manually drain remnants of water also once in awhile, but it does drain when I do this by simply pressing the cancel button.
@Mojo32 yes, the water does drain after pushing the cancel button. I have never had to do this until recently...I just would like to know why I am having to do this.
@@vickimoore7646 Oh I see, at least it does still drain for you when you push the button, but yes it'd be great to know why you need to do the extra step.
I know that regarding my situation; I typically hand wash my dishes but I use the dishwasher to drain/dry them (with the door open and not turned open). So that's typically why I have standing water in the bottom. But again, luckily I just hit the cancel button and drain it completely.
Of course once in awhile I clean/disinfectant by running a load of dishes or even empty with baking soda OR vinegar
your diagnosis is wrong, the drain line has a check valve so it air/water can only go one way. sorry
Wow ur one of THOSE guys
Why not just unplug the dishwasher instead of disconnecting the wires?
a lot of dishwashers are hard wired, mine is too.
Yeah this was a pointless video. First of all there is a one directional air lock on your drain hose. You will never blow air through that hose.
You never pinpointed the problem?
I think it was that screw
@@burrheadjr, So basically you’re not sure what was the root cause of the problem. It is what it is.
@@burrheadjr I’m having trouble matching to the two nuts to get them out to get access to the drain. There the nuts with the s on it that you use with the power drill. Can you tell me what nut/attachment you used to make this look so easy?
Lmfao this guy is a goof if you look in the bowl the disposal knock out is sitting right there that was his issue he doesn’t know what he’s doing clearly or there being a check valve either 😂😂😂😂
The disposal was installed 5 years ago, and the knockout was removed then. There is a video of the disposal being installed, and you can see the knockout being removed then, at five minutes and thirty seconds of the video from 5 years ago.

Clearly that was not the issue with the dishwasher 4 years later.
@@burrheadjr clearly it was you can see it in the bowl and the check valve is your problem for sure the reason you can’t blow through the hose is because of the valve you should be easily able to blow through that’s why water goes in than when it tries to come out it won’t because the valve shuts, so you not being able to blow through that hose in the first minute and doing all that extra work shows you don’t know a thing. And also considering there’s a shit ton of food in there shows you don’t know much a dishwasher just sanitizes it not cleans otherwise you are just baking the shit out of the food onto your plates and dishes that’s why they have never been a source of “cleaning” them just a source to sanitize them on high heat
@@user-uk7jl4fk8k As pointed out in several comments in here, the reason I can't blow into it, is because this dishwasher has a 1 way flow valve built into it, so things can go out, but not in. The round thing in the dishwasher was already in the dishwasher, and is silver in color, and is the size of 2 kernels of corn. The punch-out on the garbage disposal is black and is quite a bit larger than a quarter. It wouldn't even make sense for it to be the punch out of the garbage disposal. If it was, the dishwasher couldn't have worked for the 4 years prior without access to the garbage disposal. It would also mean that it would have worked it's way backward against the exit flow of the dishwasher, up and against gravity and work its way backwards. It would also mean that I would have to have put the garbage disposal punch out back in somehow after clearly removing it in the video I linked from 5 years ago.
@@burrheadjr yes it can just randomly stop working that’s why I said your not actually certified for diagnosing these as pointed out and blowing through the end you took off is the one way valve so yes it would still be able to blow OUTWARD your diagnosis is shit and you just proved it. If you blew through the disposal side of course it won’t ever work but being a one way valve the way you blew would have for sure blown air through it 😂😂😂
you're an amateur
Ohh hell naa. Rather throw it out and wash by hands or just get something new
Very informative, thank you!
