Please don't take this video away...it is my resource for my particular Kenmore diswasher. Every time I have to figure out why my diswasher isn't draining, I start by using this video to disassemble to the chopper blade....Thank you so much for putting this particular model on this site!
I just went through something similar with a different brand of dishwasher. Coming from a manufacturing background, what amazed me and earned my admiration is that so many of the components either easily snap or twist into place. The designs of the components make it much easier to assemble in the factory. Even accessing the three lugs which retain the bowl-shaped housing for the pumps and sump are easily accessible from underneath the dishwasher. I was able to just 'thumb' those lugs out of the way and then remove the entire center assembly from inside of the dishwasher.
My admiration for the dishwasher's design only goes so far because correcting the problem of the clogged circulation pump's impeller was so satisfying. I didn't, thankfully, have to diagnose any electronic gremlins and I hope that will never be the case. The previous dishwasher lasted eleven years and developed an electronics problem which nearly went out in a catastrophic fashion. The manufacturer _sent_ a technician to our home to see the issue firsthand. The fellow was impressed with what he saw and we had a brand new dishwasher exactly two days later. Remember that these machines are designed to function in a high-humidity/moisture environment. Over time moisture and water vapor are most likely going to infiltrate the machine's electronics. So, I would strongly suggest keeping an eye on the user interface panel and be on the lookout for any signs of scorching or peeling around the edges of the soft-push buttons and on the face of the display panel.
Thanks, this was just what I needed. Pretty much what I expected, but it's always good to see it done first when you are dealing with breakable plastic parts.
Just got my rebuild kit and had it installed and running like a champ in less than 15 mins. Great vid and Great parts. Thanks!
I just received the kit and installed. It today. This dishwasher is so quiet. It used to be loud, and now I know why. The chopper blade and spring were messed up and the impeller shift was separated from the disc part. Whisper quiet now. Thank you for this video. It saved me from buying a whole new dishwasher.
Thank you so much. You just saved us from having to buy a new dishwasher when all ours actually needed was just a cleaning out of the impeller area as you demonstrated.
I had found this video a year or so ago, it was PERFECT! Thank you! I’ve recently had to re-clean the washer (wasn’t cleaning or draining properly ... again) and couldn’t remember how it came apart... thank you AGAIN!! :-)
Btw these washers don’t like whole Grape stems lol ... :-)
Thanks again! This really saved us money and TIME!
Our obscure Whirlpool is this exact model, was hard to find initially. So stumbling onto this video was a godsend
This video was very helpful. We have the same model and some small parts fell below the separator (which I have learned by watching). Now I am not so scared to take it apart myself to fish out possible debris! Thank you!
This video is awesome, thank you! It helped me disassemble my washing machine to find the large piece of plastic causing a very loud and alarming vibration
I got my parts and just completed the repair. It works!! Thank you!
You saved my family several hundred dollars with this video! Thank you a million!
Amazing video, thank you. My filters were just about prestige but we found old rusty screw, a few plastic parts from the unit 😂. She’s running like a champ again!
Perfect, thank you! I came here to ensure I was doing things correctly. You have very good quality videos. Great audio and camera angles.
Great video :D.
I found it useful to tip the dish washer over at a angle and have it rest on something (if there is water careful it will get all over unless you use shop vac), then put a screw driver in the motor at the bottom where the screw driver is preventing the fins from spinning. Now I got my ratchet or nut driver and there was no need to use the wrench and break the plastic impeller.
This was awesome! Again, he’s so nice and easy to follow. Did the dishwasher by myself 💪🏽😁
Thank you so much. This is my exact model and exactly what I needed.
Hi Steve from Parts Select - - thank you for this video! I can't tell you what a pocket book saver this video was for me on an Easter Sunday! I woke up having to troubleshoot our dishwasher after my husband told me it had substantial water in it that would not drain. I was having considerable problems removing the impeller that is screwed on so tightly. I was afraid to put force on it not knowing if it was meant to come off, but now I know and will give it just a bit more force without fear. Thank you for keeping this video online . . . especially for us women needing to help ourselves when it comes to repairing some things. My dishwasher is old (like me - hahahaha), but I know it just needs a little love to get back on track. Thanks again very much for this little tutorial! It is a great service and I will be looking up Parts Select for some new parts! ;-)
Thank you very much. I am a handy guy but there was extra water in the bottom and the check-balls were floating around after opening it up. I wasn't sure where exactly they went. The video was super helpful!!!! Very good video!
Thank you so much! You are so helpful, I don't know if I would have known what to do without this video.
Thanks for this video. It helped a lot to get my dishwasher going again.
Thank you for this video! I have the Whirlpool DU915WPQ0 model and it seems identical to the one in the video. It was making a buzzing noise and the lower wash arm wasn't spinning. Using the video instructions, I disassembled the wash arm and impeller area down to the chopper and the two balls. Inside, I found a handful of plastic fragments about 1/2" in size in with the impeller and chopper area, that area under the cover with all the Torx screws. Removed the plastic chunks, cleaned all the crud and gunk off all the parts, put everything back together, and dishwasher worked like a champ again! I'll make sure I buy my next appliance parts from your store.
Hey Jim...I have one similar to this. Do you know where the filter is to this?
@@savagem74 They don't seem to use a filter as such - the chopper blade chops everything up and it goes out with the waste water...
ANOTHER THANK YOU ! Great job on the video you and I have the same haircut ! Fixed my dishwasher myself no problem . Put it back together with no left over parts hee hee Bob in Michigan
Thank you so much! This was exactly what my unit looked like. I could not get the black rubber piece off by hand, even after nudging it with my flat head. Yanking on it with pliers ended up doing the trick!
Excellent video! You saved me a lot of money. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I was able to fix my mom’s dishwasher!
Thank You Partselect for posting my exact washer :). Guys if the black plastic impeller starts to spin in the adjustable.. Use a Large channel lock pliers with GOOD TEETH on it. I found this gave me much better grip than the adjustable wrench so that you can turn out that stubborn 1/4 bolt
On older dishwashers the torque needed to remove the bolt may be so great that the adjustable wrench slips off the wash impeller hub no matter how tight I make it and no matter how hard I hold it in place. (Same with a large pair of channel locks with good teeth on it.) To solve this problem I use a 31/32" shower-valve socket wrench on the wash impeller hub. The wrench is hollow so I can run a 1/4" socket on a an extension rod down through the hollow to get the bolt. Sometimes the torque is so great it seems like the bolt is going to shear off, but those bolts must be made of super tough steel because I've never had one break or be so stuck that I've had to replace the motor. Also, this trick avoids having to drill out the hub of the wash impeller to remove it. If I did that, I would still be left with the problem of holding the motor shaft as I tried to remove the bolt. In that case I would put the wash impeller (with drilled out hub) back on, and now with the filter assembly removed I would have good access to grab the wash-impeller hub with the adjustable wrench. Still, the shower-valve wrench is the better solution because it's never going to slip on the wash-impeller hub.
I should mention that I often have to destroy the drain impeller to get it off, If I did that and still had the bolt stuck in the shaft, I would grab the doubly flatted shaft with an adjustable wrench, but that would risk damaging the shaft, so the shower valve socket wrench is still the better solution.
The nominal size of the hex on the wash impeller looks like 1", so I have to use a little force to get the 31/32" socket down on it, but that's good because then I get a really tight no-slip fit. The next size larger is 1-1/32" and that's a little loose which could allow it to slip under the huge torque needed to break free the bolt. So 31/32" is better.
My local hardware store has the complete set of 6 shower-valve socket wrenches for $28 and the individual wrenches for $8. The set comes with a cross bar for a handle, but if you buy the single socket, you'll have to use a screwdriver or some such thing as a handle, or you can grab the socket (more accessible than the wash-impeller hub) with an adjustable wrench.
I used a 1" wrench and a socket for the 1/4" with no luck. So I got my impact screwdriver (Milwaukee) for the 1/4" nut and that had the grunt to break it free. Looks like we all have to come up with something to get that thing off.
I could not move that bolt with anything holding the black impeller with a screwdriver handle with a nut driver socket on the end. To get more leverage to break it loose i used the 1/4 socket on a 3/8 ratchet drive with an 3/8 extension with a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer on it to put the socket on. This additional length with the ratchet drive got me the leverage i needed, wouldnt have got it off otherwise
The exact video I needed!! Thank you!!!
thanks a lot for the clearly shown disassembly and assembly!!! Eveb the background music is cool. 'Suggest a torque setting for tightening?
Thank you for this great video. I was worried that the motor was damaged on my dishwasher, but it turns out that something got stuck and the grinder blade spring uncoiled and caused some problems. I replaced the parts shown in the video and it's working again. Thanks
Thank you so much for showing me this Dad!
sweet! happy I found this thank you
Thanks man this video helped me a lot
THANKS A LOOOOT... I HAD NO CLUE HOW TO REMOVE THE FILTER I WAS AFRAID TO BREAK IT
THANK YOU!!! other videos did not show how to take off one bolt- it was shown as a screw.
Thanks for making this, its been extremely helpful.
I have a question if I may. I took my Kenmore apart because it wasnt draining and it was exactly as shown here. When I got everything apart, I had stagnate water in the bottom yet. I replaced the flow valve where the hose and motor connect. Could there be a plug where the water gets discharged on the bottom? If I kink the hose and build up some back pressure it will pump out water but not at the rate it did before but it helps. Thanks
This is a great video. I love you Steve! You make it look so easy. Unfortunately, I could not get the screw that holds the impeller so I could not remove it to get the filter separator out to clean it and get rid of the crud that is probably causing all the problems. But I did find a mason jar lid that was floating around so maybe it wasn't all for nothing!!!

I had to chisel off the black impeller...
Great video. I have the same unit, so this was especially helpful. The separator in my machine is _full_ of disgusting gunk. I figured that it would come apart for cleaning, but I don't see how to do this. I thought it would just snap apart through the use of a flathead screwdriver, but that doesn't seem to work, and I don't want to break it. Is this part meant to be cleaned out, or must it be replaced periodically? I presume it _should_ be cleaned out, so if you can provide advice for accompishing that, I would be most grateful.
Thank goodness for this video. I really needed it. Was going crazy haha.
Thank you! Very helpful!
thank you so much! so clear step. by step...
Ur a life saver 🙏
I have the exact same model and took it apart to clean it out because the spray was not very good.
However now there is no spray and the water just kind of gushes out from below the spray arm. I have the upper and lower bushes installed but feel like I lost a seal that is not mentioned in the video and parts list.
Also, those darn balls, one above and one below that black plastic cover ?
thks for great instruction
This helped thanks. Replacing the spinner I thought there were parts missing. But I guess not. I'm good!
Thank you for this video.
I have having a loud unusual noise and no drainage in my Kenmore 665.16003400, Could it be the pump instead of what he is doing in the video?
I have the same dishwasher and it doesnt drain very well. Just wondering is there a filter on this dishwasher?
So I completed this repair a few days ago but now the heated dry and start buttons are not working. They worked for a couple of washes afterwards but not anymore. Coincidence or could I have messed something up?
Great video. Thank you
Hi Steve! A couple of things: my friend figured out how to remove that pesky little nut holding the black part just under the first plastic cover (the washing impeller) that gave me so much grief as noted in my first comment on this video- using a 1" socket with a set of vice grips to hold it, he then through the 1/2" hole in the socket, he used a 1/4" drive socket with an extension to go through and remove that nut. The other thing you may want to consider doing on your next video is to give us fewer shots of the back of your head and more of what you are doing. Thank you again for a most instructive and well-done video. You saved me from having to pay for a new dishwasher!!!!
Very detailed video!!!!! Thanks!!!
Hi,
I have this exact model and does not drain and over flows. I have checked drain hose and is not clogged. Will this kit take care of my problem? Thank you.
Dan
Thanks so much, extremely well done video. I wish I would have found this video much earlier.
This was very good for my dad to wach👍👍
Hello-
I just replaced everything that you did in this video. (My unit looks exactly like yours). It is still leaking onto the motor. Should I buy a new dishwasher or will taking the motor off and looking at it help. The big o-ring around the inside seems to not be leaking. The unit is not draining also. The unit started to leak when I set a wash cycle. Thank you, Larry. My dishwasher is 10 years old.
Steve, you rock!
Hi! Thanks for that video. Where can I find a replacing part for the unit part that we can see on the video in the middle (back) of the dishwasher (that go up and fill water for tray bottom/middle spray arm)? And what's the name (number) of that part?
Its the little tubular plastic part that goes inside the Middle Spray Arm who's broken. Don't know if it can be fix (glue?) or if I need to replace the long middle back unit .
Can anybody respond to a question? The impellers in my dishwasher seems to be just fine, but the dishwasher still does not drain very fast. It will drain the water out after a few times of hitting the Cancel \ Drain button, but that is not good enough for the wash cycle. Could the new impeller kit still fix the problem, even though all of the parts look fine, and not broken or chipped? Or could the check valve be faulty?
How do we remove the tube against the back? We took ours apart and it was full of black gunk! We want to wash and clean it but unsure how to do that properly.
This video is great, but it still is missing something in my case to solve my no-drainage issue. First off, I had to break the black impeller to get it off as it wasn't coming off for anything. Oh well. Now I am stuck at getting the chopper blade off. It won't budge an inch. It doesn't have a bushing, but it doesn't want to move. But the water at this point is still not going anywhere and I cleaned all the debris around the outside and down where the two balls go, but water is still standing. Where is the water suppose to go?
So, the only thing off I noticed was the spring under the blade looked bent, causing some rubbing. Can I run it without the blade?
I had to cut through the repeller to release but the metal bottom won't release from the shaft. How can I get it to release?
I followed the video, but now I hear it click and it fills with water and heats up (very hot steam) but there’s no spinning of the arms and no water spraying , where it did before. Any suggestions other than a new dishwasher?
I have a whirlpool quiet wash. I'm trying to clean the filter. Where is the filter? I followed your instructions to take everything apart but still, no filter. Where is it? Also, there are no check balls in mine. Is that normal? Thanks!
What do you do if you have done this repair but your upper and lower arms do not spin during wash or rinse cycle? Are there seals that need repaired in both arms? FYI. I know the motor and pump are running. It will go through a cycle and drain...
Is there a way to get just the spring for the chopper blade in this kit. Don't really want to pay $80 for a spring. I've looked around a little and haven't found anywhere. I know this is an old video but if anyone sees this who knows I would greatly appreciate it. Some kind of hard plastic got down there and when the blade hit it, it bent the spring a lot.
I came here because I have this model dishwasher and is making horrific grating sounds during the wash cycle. So before I saw this video I just started disassembling to try to find out what hard bit might be stuck in the chopper blade, but as soon as I got to the screw holding the impeller down, I could turn it, but after I loosened it a while I could not turn it anymore. So I tried turning it the other way, and it got looser, but got tighter again. I'm not replacing the impeller, I just want to get down further into the guts to check for a hard object, but I don't want to split the impeller with a hammer and chisel. Any suggestions?
Really excellent quality video! But some of the parts on the website are outrageously priced. Like $8 per screw!
My seals aren’t leaking and everything looks fine but still not draining. Is there a separate pump and do you carry it? Is there a video for that? Is it possible that something has the line clogged? I’m at a loss after taking everything apart and really don’t want to buy a new washer
Great close-ups of the back of his head.
Thank you for posting this.
Mine doesn't drain. How do I check the filter or does it have one?
Good vid, although one of the gaskets that came with my kit didn't look like it was the right size and, because your head was in the way a few times, I couldn't see if you had stretched it into place or not so I left the old one in rather than risk a leak. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
Glad we could help!
Yeah I found the small gasket supplied was too small for my Kenmore . It would fit with stretching - but then did not protrude above the part to be able to make a good seal. I cleaned and reinstalled the original one... which strangely seemed slightly too big for the groove 🤔
The video is very helpful, but the impeller on my 66516765690 kenmore dishwasher did not want to come loose from the shaft. I tried using the screwdriver to rock it back and forth as shown, but with little effect. After I got my impeller kit, I took a drill to the impeller and drilled enough holes so that the top disc came off. Even then, the lower part of the impeller on the shaft took a bit of doing to remove. This impeller removal may not always be as easy as it looks like in the video.
How do I take the separator apart to clean the screens? It appears to be keyed but I'm afraid it will break.
Did you ever find the answer to this?
Where can I get the right parts for this same dishwasher?
Thanks for the vid! :D
Great video. What is the trick to align the separator? I disassembled down to the part that you chisel off to see what was going on. I have a squeal that I believe is the motor. Anyway, I can't seem to get the separator aligned correctly and the cutter blade rubs on it. Thanks. Mine is the Whirlpool 920.
Hi Scott, your wash impeller is attached to the motor shaft with a screw and that will compress the spring that is located beneath the chopper blade. This will provide the clearance to keep the blade from rubbing. With the impeller properly installed, you should be able to mount the separator easily.
This instruction video was great and very accurate! I am worried now that I've begun a "test load" because I do not hear any water running through the washer. Is it normal for a delay in water returning to the unit?
Niki Lawson What model number do you have?
Model number: DU10000CGQ1
Whirlpool- Imperial Series
It wasn't filling at all and thus began to smelling "burnt" when I was running a test wash. I didn't know if it was normal for the water to take a while to fill after being worked on.
I ended up canceling the cycle and once it cooled, I poured a bit of white vinegar and hot water down the washer's drain.
It's worked amazing ever since!!!
@@partselect I need help!! Lol...mine was not draining. Broke it apart but do not see any filter. Trying to clear filter or clog
Just used your video again to ckear a plug up... Thanks!!!!!!!
Glad it helped!
the 1 inch plastic hex bolt only strips when I turn the 1/4 bolt . .I have my wrench adjust as small as possible . any suggestions?

I don't understand people who dislike this video. Who's those experts?
Hi there! At 6:24 when you put back the Dishwasher sump cap cover and screw it down, is it supposed to be flush with the bottom? I'm wondering if I have so much corrosion on the shaft that I can't seat the pump impeller down far enough. I gave it a couple of hits with a hammer but it doesn't seem to move any further down. Also is the pump impeller supposed to spin, it seems like it rubbing against the cover...thanks for great video.
If you have changed the pump seal, you may have part of the old seal adhered to the motor shaft or corrosion on the shaft may be impeding the fit. The impeller should not rub against the cover.
Does the impeller to motor screw loosen counter clockwise like most screws or the opposite?
Counter clockwise...
Thank you.
Larry Gray
Where is the filter located? Please help, frustrated
where does the third small ball go?
This video was informative and helpful. I would not have gotten the dishwasher apart and back together without it! I have a question about the "separator"--is it supposed to be able to come apart for cleaning purposes? Thx!
What is your model number?
dishwasher is a Kenmore--I think the model # is 3380957 REV. A The inside of this dishwasher matches the one in your video--it's why your video was so helpful.
I don't think that is the model number. The part number I'm talking about is 3380788--but it actually has changed. I ordered the part from you all.
The information that we have does not indicate that the separator can be disassembled for cleaning.
Thank you for this video! Question though. My wife left me a note that the our dishwasher stopped draining today. It’s an odd ball and your video is about the only one that matches. Anyway, I pulled it apart tonight, found some debris under the separator but couldn’t find any other damage. The impellers appear to be in good condition, I can’t find anything broken. The drain hose is clear, I can blow through it. I’m assuming the check valve is ok because when I pulled the drain hose I made a serious mess. The pump does run in drain. Any thoughts?
Hi, please provide your model number and I will be happy to research this for you to see what other option it could be for your model.
PartSelect thank you for the reply! I do have an impeller kit coming from you all. The mode number is TUD6710SQ0 sold under the estate name
Tried to remove hex screw in the impeller but it's an older dishwasher and it seems to be stuck. I also tried breaking the impeller with hammer and chisel and also no luck. Is there any better tool to hold the impeller in place? It keeps stripping out of the crescent wrench I'm using. Any advice on a better way to break it out? Thanks
Corri Bristow What model number is your dishwasher?
***** DU960PWKQ1. It looks exactly like the one in the video.
My dishwasher leaks slightly out of the bottom center. Would this pump rebuild likely solve this?
+Brian Suhl What model number do you have?
Thank you for the great video on this model which is the one that I own. Sadly, I can't remove the hex nut that holds the black circular piece hiding the screws that will allow me to access and clean the sump. You mentioned that this is often a problem and suggested using a chisel and hammer to deal with this problem....how can you do that without breaking the nut or the black disc?
I am soaking the nut with WD-40 overnight and will try out a bigger wrench and an extension socket tomorrow but it escapes me why any designer thought that this was a good way to secure that portion of the unit given that hard water calcification would likely immobilise it.
sulyn2254 I have passed your question on to Steve and will let you know what he suggests.
You may find that the WD-40 will loosen the screw but if not, then breaking the impeller is the most common solution. You will still have to remove the screw, but would have the option of using a different method such as clamping pliers.
used CLR as it was a calcification issue, not a rust issue, I had thought was preventing me from removing the hex nut...used an elongated socket on the driver, had an extra pair of hands with the pliers and it finally came loose..as it was still pretty white, I soaked it in CLR again and cleaned it with a wire brush before replacing it.. I also put a light film of food-grade mineral oil on it and hopefully, I won't have this issue again...all of this to clean out the sump that was blocked by some heavyweight plastic...my brother, the plumber, who lives far away told me to just buy a new dishwasher...I was quite pleased to tell him that I had fixed it!!!!

I have this exact model. Took it apart last night and found a piece of plastic but it is now making an occasional buzzing noise! What do you suggest?
Heads up: There are four screws inside, it took me a while to find that fourth one!
How could you remove the nut attached to the black impeller? I used a wrench to hold the impeller and then a power screw driver with a socket to open the nut but it kept rotating without going up. It felt like I was spinning the nut without screwing it up.
@@nnyt : One, I didn't use any power tools. You have to hold it steady to loosen. Been two months, fixed the buzzing noise as debris was caught. Once removed, no problems!
The buzzing was due to not tightening everthing. Go slow, stay calm, watch the video again.
Duh, fixed my 13 yo Whirlpool DP940PWPQ2 based on this video. Now I'm upset because I did it just for curiosity and had new nice Bosch ready to install that I brought from Lowe's :) Have to convince my dear wife now that we still need to replace Whirlpool
Hahaha... 🤣
I have a similar dishwasher with those two check valve balls. Are you sure that the one goes in before the cover? It gets pinned into place by doing that. Is that the correct thing to do?
They can be tricky. They be added one then the cover and loading the second after the impeller cooooover is installed or You can add both after the cover in installed but you will have to use a small screw driver or similar tool to push the lower ball forward so the second will settle into place
@@partselect Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't quite answer what I asked. Inside the cover that is immediately over the drain impeller is a little tab sticking out. If you leave the balls there as you put the cover on, then one of the balls get pinned in place in the cup in the bottom of the dishwasher. The other is free to move around in the chimney the cover has and there is enough room inside that chimney part for both without issue. Is the bottom ball supposed to be pinned in place or is it supposed to be above that pin that would pin it in place?
Thanks so much! Could not for the life of me forgive our how to get the separator off!
We've broken the impeller, but still cannot get the screw that holds it in place out, i don't want to damage the part that is under it. Anyone have any ideas?
Hold onto it with vice grips if the adjustable wrench doesn’t work
Which particular part of everything you took out is most likely causing a no-draining problem?
Check the hole where the pump, pumps the water out... Take off the hose on the bottom make sure it's all clear.
