So my dishwasher just decided to quit working today. The woman ran it twice, it makes noise but it didn't wash the dishes. So after fuckin around with it for a couple hours I determined that it was stuck on the Drain (Empty out the water) portion of the cycle. It makes noise every time I start a cycle but now water was coming in. I could feel the drain pump was running so I dumped a gallon of water in there and fired it back up and it pumped it right out. That did not fix the problem. It ended the cycle so I started a new one and it just went strait to trying to drain again.
Asking all the AI's for help was worthless, jewtube was worthless, manufacturers website was worthless.
BUT,,, I figured it out!!!
This white thing is on the front of the drain pump, I can see it when I look under the dishwasher. I was poking around in there looking for loose wires and whatever I might find and I noticed I could turn this white thing about 90 degrees counter clockwise and it came out.
There was a blob of grease in it so I removed the wires and got it out where I could see it. I didn't get pictures of the rest of it but there are two clips on it that hold this black box onto it. I removed the black box and cleaned the grease out of the white part. The black box has a very small pin hole in it and there was grease plugging it. Cleaned that out with a toothpick and put it all back together and the damn thing is running like a champ again. Feels good!!
On another note, awhile back I discovered that there is a filter thing in the bottom of my dishwasher (inside, not under) I pulled that out and holy fucking shit, disgusting. Do yourself a favor and go look for that thing and clean it out. It's kind of an upside down looking little basket thing and also turns 90 degrees counter clockwise to remove. Gross.
