Thank you for walking us through this. The only thing I would add is (when reassembling) to check that the holes for the 3 longest screws align at the top & bottom of the circular unit. Mine were just off by 1 "notch" so everything sat together well, but when I got to those last 3 screws I had to disassemble everything again 😫 to readjust that. Obviously my mistake, but there's always the rewind option 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Use vinegar to loosen the impeller... a few drops on the screw area... let sit 10 mins.... tap lightly on top and sides with hammer.... it comes right off.
Thanks for sharing....while informative, I actually forgot what I was researching by the halfway mark. I'm just not mechanical and my un-mechanical brain checks out way too fast 😂
Someone at maytag: Let's make it *super easy* to get to the filter and drainage so customers can clean and clear their dishwasher. the big wigs: *HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA put 11 *hex* screws in there and at least five different pieces!!!!
Only thing I would add is once you have all the parts out. Scrub out the inside of the dishwasher and run the Rinse function. It will get all the water out of the bottom, instead of using a sponge.
Yeah, this doesn't apply to a Quietseries 200. There are no screws left, and lifting the "flow plate" brings the whole motor out. Nearly crapped myself when face to face with all those wires and a hidden puddle of water in the bottom.
yes it does. I have a Quietseries... pour some vinegar into the screw hole of the flow plate cap.. let it sit for a few minutes.. comes out like a charm!
Thank you for sharing this video with us. My maytag dishwasher started to make a terrible noise. Ive noticed that the lower arm touch the heater and most probably this noise is because of that. Can you please advise me
Noises are always tricky, depending on the type of noise it may just be some harder food particles in around the pump impellers. If your getting more of a screeching sound then its possible the motor bearing is starting to fail. Spray arms when not running may in some cases be able to tip up and down but once the pump pressurizes them with water they lift and spin and usually don't touch any other component. Hope this information is of some help.
My Maytag QuietSeries 100 leaves black crumbs on the cups in the top drawer. I can't figure out where from, and if there is supposed to be another filter than the base plate. I took apart the whole in-case pipe system, and did what is shown here, saw nothing wrong and put it back together. It wasn't even dirty. It seems that nothing filters smaller dirt and it gets projected back on the cups, does anyone have a clue on how to solve this issue?
I can't get the 6 screwholes to line up 🤬 it doesn't make any sense because the other 3 bigger screwholes are lined up but there is nothing for the 6 20 torx bit screws to go into.
If it's not broken but dishes aren't cleaning well, what do you clean? That's what I wanted to know. Will watch another video that tells me what to check and how to clean, if that's all that's needed.
Hi Becky. Sometimes cleaning out the spray arm and filter can help your dishwasher clean dishes a little better. On our website, we also have a list of parts that could be dirty or damaged and therefore result in this symptom. You can find the list here: www.fix.com/repair/appliance/dishwasher/not-cleaning-dishes-properly/. Thanks for stopping by the channel, and don't forget to subscribe, as we release new videos every weekday!
i need your help. that little hole on the wall on the right side what is that? out little vent cap broke and i dont know what its called for that do you know? thank you
Good video, but quite possibly the dumbest and most time consuming filter clean/ change I've seen for a dishwasher. The engineers of this stuff should be beat in the public square
We are having the same problem as Realbhatia - impeller will not come out no matter how hard we try. Other than breaking it, is there a solution to this? All of the videos make it looks so easy, but we have tried everything and cannot get it out.
Hi, the reason you would need to replace the accumulator filter is because the water is not draining out of the dishwasher or your dishes are not being cleaned due to the filter being clogged. The filter is essential in your dishes getting clean during the wash cycle. If there is any debris or a tear in the filter, it can cause extra buildup and, therefore, causing dirty dishes.
Hi!. THANK YOU for making this job look so easy for a budding do-it-yourselfer like me. I tried doing this on my 12 year old Maytag dishwasher (same model). At 2:30, I tried my best to remove the "impeller" and it would not come out. I even tried putting WD20 and leaving it overnight but to no avail. Then I tried using two flat screw drivers tried it lift it from bottom but again it would not come out; the bottom part just broke. Ultimately had no other alternative to break it open. Even then it took me more than 15 minutes and multiple doses of WD40 to remove all the remnants of impeller. I am just curious, what else could I have done?
Folks: if you come across the same problem that I described above, this is what I did. I broke the "impeller" as mentioned above and ordered a new one (available from a very famous store --name starts with "S"--for 10.94+Tax+6.99 shipping.) Installed it after pushing and tapping it. Once in there, you cannot take it out. I think I should have used WD20 before installing it to make the process easy. THANK YOU FIXIT.COM for giving me confidence to do it myself.
All you had to do was add a few tablespoons of vinegar (Coca Cola should work the same way) into the screw hole. Let it sit for about 20 mins, and the impeller comes off easily.
I would not recommend a Maytag Quiet 200 series to anyone.... it's crazy... you have to disassemble the whole dishwasher to get at the filter.... to clean it? Looks like it is done deliberately this way so that we have to call a repairman to clean the filter every 2 months.... and another thing.... in the drying period the dishwasher makes a crazy noise, like it is coming appart... the last time I called a repairman he told us it is something to do with the carbons touching each other? chinese to me... so much for QUIET.... so, definetely I would not purchase another Maytag... this one is the second purchase for me...still don't know why I did this!
Wow! This is crazy - I didn't realize it was going to take so much to clean the filter! LOL
Its so easy though just a few screws holding it down
i guess I'm quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online ?
Didn't even clean it. He replaced it.
It took me 3 days to finish it because I have back problems.. but worth it.. However, I may only do this 1 a year.. sorry too much work and pain lol
@@romancallum9239 what kind of series? There are way too many kinds.
Me looking at this because I took my dishwasher apart and forgot got to put it back together 😂😂😂 my husband would have been so mad 😂😂😂

Thank you for this video! This allowed me to fix my Jenny-Air model dishwasher that was making a grinding noise.
i grew up with this dishwasher
Only thing I would add is once you have all the parts out. Scrub out the inside of the dishwasher and run the Rinse function. It will get all the water out of the bottom, instead of using a sponge.
The Hell with this i will hire a maid to wash my dishes
Supper helpful! Thank you!

always remember to unplug the appliance.. those wires would be dead then.
Mine is not draining would this be the problem?? Can I just take it out n clean it n put it back in??
So the filter cover lines don’t line up with the bottom screw holes below fastened to the washer so how am I to screw it back together?
If the accumulator filter is undamaged can you just soft scrub it w a soft brush and replace?

It looks like you took it apart, did nothing, then put it back together...wtf?
He replaced the old filter with a new one
@@superj7106 Exactly
Thank you
I see lots of pauses and edits.
No thanks. I’ll just buy another dishwasher.

This is identical to my Amana 2 dishwasher. Not sure if they are a co-brand...
Maytag and Amana are owned by Whirlpool.
I can't get the 6 screwholes to line up 🤬 it doesn't make any sense because the other 3 bigger screwholes are lined up but there is nothing for the 6 20 torx bit screws to go into.
What if it’s not dispensing the soap, or pumping water to the top sprayer??!

What's the reason for removing it? You went straight into removing it without explaining why.
i need your help. that little hole on the wall on the right side what is that? out little vent cap broke and i dont know what its called for that do you know? thank you
Easy??? You've disassembled all the insides except the heater
Good video, but quite possibly the dumbest and most time consuming filter clean/ change I've seen for a dishwasher. The engineers of this stuff should be beat in the public square
HORRIBLE DESIGN. Ill never buy a Maytag again. Regardless, thanks for sharing
I did like in the video, but now the dishwasher fill up with water and then stop ! Any idea what I did wrong ?
Oups, the metal plate was upside down, my mistake !
It didn't look hard. Keep up with the screws. They don't make them like the old ones anymore. Don't last as long
We are having the same problem as Realbhatia - impeller will not come out no matter how hard we try. Other than breaking it, is there a solution to this? All of the videos make it looks so easy, but we have tried everything and cannot get it out.
Hi, what is your model number?
remove the attached plastic piece that runs the water to the top portion of the dishwasher
try using white vinegar to break off the gunk.
"It's easy" .... 15 screws later.....
Why would you even replace this? Do they break easily? Get clogged? What's it main malfunction?

or your dishes are not being cleaned due to the filter being clogged. The filter is essential in your dishes getting clean during the wash cycle. If there is any debris or a tear in the filter, it can cause extra buildup and, therefore, causing dirty dishes.
My has 3 tears... so it does get damaged so how.
So the other option is to soft scrub the filter instead of replacing it
