WOW! i’m a 74yr old, living in a lovely apartment but after 6 yrs of use, it stopped draining. I watched your video twice then got to work following your instructions. I didn’t find anything abnormal or guckky but VOILA, it now works perfectly. Thank you for saving me the costs of a plumber !!! It’s time for you to have a coffee 😊
I cater for all ages! Great news. Saved the cost of a plumber. Hope your coffee was good. We’ve got a coffee machine but I only put it on Sunday mornings.😎
Thank you!!! Fixed it myself w your great video! Took off propellor cover-- the 🗝️ to the problem. A rubber band was stuck in there & trapping other dirt. Your video saved me $119 trip fee for a service call just for someone to look at it. Did all the cleaning as you demonstrated & it's washing auto cycle quieter than it has in years.
Thank you for helping deal with a nightmare situation. Christmas morning and dishwasher full of water and not working. Your guide helped me find a piece of plastic jamming the impeller propeller. Thank you, a lifesaver.
Brother, you just saved our family a lot of money. My mom’s Miele didn’t flush the water and I fixed it in 5 min using your video. My mom thinks I’m a genius now 😂😂. Thank you!
Was having a breakdown at 4:30 in the morning when my dishwasher made the most terrifying sound and got clogged and let me tell you your vid saved me at least 250$ because of a date-seed!!! THANK YOU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic. Sorted. A piece of broken glass from a wine glass had lodged in the impeller and stopped it turning. Your video was brilliant and I am very grateful. I also used my water vac for the first time which made things easier. Will now be watching your video on dishwasher maintenance. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant, dishwasher not working for over a week. Every other online tutorial was useless. Followed the video (enjoyed the Dalmation distraction) and removed a huge chunk of broken glass that was blocking the outlet. Problem fixed. Saved us a small fortune, hours of wasted time as well as making me feel useful.
Fabulous comment, thank you so much. So glad I was able to help out and that you found my video easy to follow. Hope there's some other stuff on my channel you may find useful one day. Thanks again for the comment and have a marvellous rest of the weekend. 😎
You saved my bacon watching this,I’ve only had my dishwasher 3 weeks and it wouldn’t drain water last night,so I sucked up the water (no! not me😁)using a wet hoover. And cleared it in seconds. As I speak it’s emptying so far,If it wasn’t for videos like yours on TH-cam to help us ladies and Men😉we we have to fork out thousands in services. So Thankyou so VERY MUCH. Keep up the help videos as I watch all different types of DIY ones to help with whatever I have problems with.Thankyou again.
absolute legend! Hadn’t used my dishwasher for 2 months because it was leaking so badly, After following this video I found a 2cm piece of broken glass stuck in the propeller. Now there’s not even a single drop coming out. Thanks!
I want to add my voice to the others thanking you for this! With children a dishwasher isn’t a luxury but a necessity. Not only did you save me around £150 to get an engineer out but thanks to you I was able to immediately fix the problem on a Saturday. You are a legend! Thank you!
Thank you for the lovely comment, really appreciate it, inspires me to carry on making videos. Glad to help and that it saved you money. All the best.😎
You, my good man, have saved me from going out and purchasing a new dishwasher. For posting this video, I give you my highest regards!!! Thank You and God bless!!!
Yeh I try to keep my videos ‘bloke next door’ type videos, did think about going all flashy and more professional but I think it would lose something. Glad my video helped 😎
Thank you! Our dishwasher failed on the morning we are having a dinner party. Kinda need the dishwasher to work. You saved us! And your puppy is very cute too. So glad to have found this. You are so helpful, clear and knowledgable. Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I removed the piece as you showed then I used my vacuum and a big straw with my fingers curled around it as an adapter. I got a decent size piece of glass out!!! You saved me so much!!!
Thank you!!! You are a lifesaver. I am Female and not very handy. I followed your instructions and was ready to give up. I took my shop vac and suctioned out The water where the propeller is, like you suggested. I heard something come through the hose. Turned out to be a piece of glass. Put everything back and ran the dishwasher. Problem solved!! Thanks again from Toronto Canada!!
Great news, guess you’ve got a chipped glass cup or bowl then somewhere! Good find indeed, glad it’s all working again and you are very lucky to live in Canada, meant to be lovely there. 😎
Thanks so much!! My dishwasher has been acting up for weeks and I’d tried a few different things to no avail. I was feeling quite stressed as I don’t have the money to repair/replace it right now. But with your very handy (and amusing!) video, along with my partners toothbrush, I discovered how to get to that little propellor thingy and sure enough there was a piece of glass in there!!! Couldn’t believe it! Saved me a bunch of money on a repair person, thanks so VERY much from Canada.
Great help and very well shot self-explanatory video. Got the job done in under 10 minutes, most of which i spent evacuating the water (half a bucket). In my case the culprit was a rubber band.
Awesome. Got the exact same machine and had the exact same issue. Filter was totally blocked with crud. Followed your vid and sorted what I thought was going to be a very expensive problem without it costing me a penny. Thank you so much.
You’re going to love me after you read my comment/advise. I always put dishwasher powder/liquid not just inside the sealed lockable compartment, but most importantly also outside of it. Logically answer yourself this question, when is the detergent required the most, when the dishes are the dirtiest at the beginning of cycle or halfway through when they are already partially rinsed by just pure water? The answer is Off course when very dirty at the beginning. So I always split my dishwasher powder between sealed compartment and outside, effectively it gives your dishes a prewash. Most dishwasher actually have designated space for this reason, sometimes uncovered, sometimes under the the main flap slotted section. Frankly my “half “ of powder outside is alway bigger then locked “half”. It also has another benefit apart from cleaning your dishes better, it keeps your dishwasher’s drainage pipes clean, that’s because all this greasy stuff from initial wash is dissolved by the powder you’ve put outside of locked compartment and does not stick to the drainage. For this reason I have never ever used any of those heavily advertised “dishwasher cleaners”. You will notice it yourself when cleaning the filter (still have do it regularly, it’s compulsory), it won’t have this whitish gluey coat that is hard to remove. After 20 years of service I have replaced my old dishwasher with new one and guess what? The drainage pipe was so clean that I have not changed, just reconnected it to new machine. Another tip, when you’re installing your dishwasher, connect it to hot water supply pipe instead of cold. Don’t bother with all in one tablets or pods, always use dedicated powder/liquid and separate rinse aid. By the way rinse aid really makes the difference ton achieve spotless dry dishes. P.S. obviously I am a dishwasher freak.
Fantastic, just unblocked my parents dishwasher and saved them a fortune - tiny bit of clingfilm had got into the impeller area. Thanks for a great video. 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’d gotten the little white drain cover removed, but forgot how it came out and could not get it back in! I was trying to put it in sideways! Watching your video helped get it in the correct position and miraculously, my dishwasher now drains again!
I'm probably the hundred and eleventth person to say this, but thanks a lot for this very clear and helpful tutorial - a big shard of glass was stuck in the impeller. Once out it's draining perfectly again. Your video saved me using up a favour with the landlord and taught me a little domestic maintenance. The only hard part was sourcing the right tool (torx key) to undo the security bolt on the impeller cover!
I had wondered what the piece of plastic was that was stopping me from putting my filter back in. As you have the same style of dishwasher to me, I knew I'd get the answer. Thank you so much now there is no water ideally in the base of my dishwasher!
thanks for a helpful video - especially on how to remove the impeller cover - 2 or the 3 channels into my pump were blocked with lemon seeds. I also found measuring cups and a turkey baster helpful to get the water out. The dishwasher mostly drained but not completely.
Thanks for this video, I've just moved and found the dishwasher drain full of water. Going to give this a go now! And also really handy that you added the section where you used the Finish dishwasher cleaner because I've actually just bought that exact one and wasn't quite sure where to place it in the dishwasher! Only thing I didn't like about this video was that you weren't wearing any gloves 😂😭 I probably would've thrown up if I tried to clean that clogged filter with my bare hands 🤢🤮
Late to be fixing the dishwasher unless you are somewhere else in the World. Glad you found the fault and happy I could help out. Have a marvellous weekend. 😎
You bewdy, the vacuum was the secret sauce for me thank you so much. I agree, the cup of tea put me in a good mood to start with even though the dishes were piled up everywhere and the missus is daring me to go watch the telly lol thanks so much, great share.
Many thanks Lurgs. All dishwashers I assume work on the same principals. Mine is a Kenwood KDW60S20. The confusing issue with me was that the F2 error came on simultaneously to the mains water being temporarily being cut off. When I followed your instructions step by step it turned that a piece of wood (like a toothpick) about 27mm had got through the filter and was stopping the impellor from working. Once removed the water drained out. You saved me €100 for a call out, many thanks

Thank you so much for the donation, I really do appreciate it more than you know. Channels like mine don't make a lot of money so this is amazing. My last donation was about 6 months ago so thank you again.
@@LurgsHowToGuides I wish I could have donated more. Just image if the 1.3 Million people that viewed this video so far donated a dollar to you! Very sad indeed.
I couldn't figure out how to fix my dishwasher after watching other videos. But your video helped figure out what I was missing --- a cup of tea, my spouse's toothbrush, and a cute dalmatian.
Great video! Saved us couple of hundred $, was able to figure it out on my own with help of your video, didn’t need to call a professional. Thank you!!
Many thanks for this video, it was a life saver. Didn’t realise how clogged my filter was. Cleaned all the components you recommended in your video and just ran a hot cycle. All water drained and the dish washer looks a lot cleaner now. Cheers for this and I have sent a Super Thanks as it’s saved me money…👍
Thank you so much for this- and for sharing! 🤩 You made me take the step - and did exactly as you showed, and now my dishwasher is as good as new again! ❤🙏 🌟
Thank you very much. Mine was pumping OK, but then noice was unbearable. Turns out it was a piece of glass that broke during washing few weeks ago, guess I didn't remove all the pieces and one of them got into propeller. You're life saver or should I say pump saver. Cheers from Poland
Never put wine glasses in dishwasher, they break and tiny shards of glass lodge in the impeller, which is plastic, then the glass destroys the impeller and you get to visit the appliance store.
Thanks noticed my Bosch dishwasher made a noise when expelling water , the official Bosch vid explains how to check the impeller was confusing , yours was clear and easy to understand
had to pass this on to my friends, even the ones without dishwashers! Wow , start with a real cup of tea. Daisy Dalmatian at the 2 min mark. instructions easy to follow with only the stuff we all have to hand in the kitchen/bathroom.
Thanks a lot, we just followed your instructions and found a sim card blocking the propeller! No Idea how it got there, you saved us small fortune. We have subscribed.
A SIM card! Wow they are small, surely someone is missing a working phone then? Good find anyway and glad I could help. Thanks for subscribing to my channel.😎👍🏻
Your video and instructions were very good, very clear m but the music in the background made it a bit hard to hear at the start…., but you have quite a good clear voice so luckily I heard. I do use finish every six weeks, so was gutted when we had this problem…will check it out tomorrow! 🤞🤞 many many thanks . Best wishes from Norfolk👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you: very calm and thorough tutorial. I have zero DIY talent but with the help of your youtube tutorial, managed to complete the steps to solve the water not draining from my dishwasher.
Hi, thanks a ton for showing how to open that white part so clearly. I generally use the quick cycle on a regular basis on my month old siemens dishwasher & it worked great with 10-15 gm of Finish detergent. But since last 3 cycles, I have few soap suds remaining on the bottom of the dishwasher at the end of the quick cycle (the water drains away).To clear away the soap suds, after unloading the dishwasher, I tried the Prerinse cycle which runs only for 15 min. on an empty dishwasher without adding any detergent & opened it when 12 min. were left. There was soapy water inside & all the water drained away at the end of 15 min. leaving behind extremely miniscal amount of soap suds behind. I clean the outer filter very 2nd day & so its always pretty clean. I ran the Prerinse cycle again & that cleared away the soap suds totally. Seeing your video, I had the courage to open up that white part revealing the impeller inside which moved freely . There was some water below the outer filter in that hollow place inside. Is that normal? There was barely a strand & v. minute 3-4 debri particles. My vacuum cleaner doesn’t suck up water & so I just cleaned dipping a Microfiber cloth inside. Why do I have this soap suds since I haven’t changed the detergent or the type of cycle which I run? Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you once again for this demo
I should imagine the cleaning programme is too short for it to work properly. Our dishwasher standard cleaning cycle takes 2hours30mins! Try a normal programme
Thank you so much for your Donation, helps me keep my channel running as I don't make much from adverts. That is very kind and glad that the video was useful and helped you save some money. Have a great week. 😎
Thank you very much. I tried a lot of things, watched so many videos but nothing solved my problem. This morning I saw you video and I repaired everything. Such and illumination. And a well made and funny video. Thanks from Italy.
This video came in very handy, initially thought the problem was the water inlet valve as the dishwashers water light kept burning, however I noticed the water did not drain on the cycle. Found some broken glass pieces in the drain pump, after following your advice.
My filter was clean and impeller fan spun freely with no debris near it (other than the magnetic resistance) and drainage hose looks clear too. not sure what to try next
You're a star, Lurgs - spent the afternoon trying to sort the machine - cleaned everywhere i thought i could get at - plenty of gunk but the impeller did the trick. machine worked straight away!! saveda packet
You are a legend sir. I was not expecting any chip but there it was a full centimeter one. Thank you for saving us 200 quids and frustration. Love you peculiar funny way
Little metal tag stuck around the impeller! On my Bosche unit the impeller guard needed a torx bit to remove but after that the cultrip was in plain sight. Running better than ever now, thank you sir! Wife's toothbrush now back in its usual place..
thanks for the tip....hopefully, it will work.?....dishwasher and filter were quite clean considering it was 13 years old. When i removed the plastic where the impeller is, there was a few bits of plastic wrap floating around. Ill get back to you when the dishwasher is used next.
Thanks for the tips I have a Westinghouse dishwasher that keeps displaying the F2 message. With this model it’s not that easy reaching the pump. I drained the water using a water vacuum cleaner drain water very quickly. I looked through the gaps with an inspection camera and I could see hair wrapped around the pump propeller but could not reach to clean. Closed all taps drain all hoses disconnected electricity. Push dishwasher out and place it on his back. Open the bottom and released the hoses leads to the propeller clean the hair but it didn’t seem to stop the propeller from spinning. Than on the opposite side were the drain hose is there you can open this chamber just by spinning it anti clockwise quarter a spin and there I found the real cause of the problem a piece that broke from a plate. Put everything back together and dishwasher work just fine no more F2 error. Thanks for the tips.
Hi Lurgs, thank you for such a clear and detailed video. I’ve tried everything you have said on the video and my dishwasher is very clean and I can’t see any blockages in the pipes but the water is still not draining. Would appreciate any help you could offer please.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind donation, really do appreciate it.😎💵

I took the filter outside and washed it with the spray nozzle on the hose. Worked a treat. Thanks for the vid Lurgs
Good idea. Glad to help.😎
Great video. Took some bits of hair out of the filter with my partner’s toothbrush
Great stuff, glad you got it sorted, the partners toothbrush is so useful ! 😎
I removed the little clip to gain access to the propeller and found a small lamb bone from last week's curry. Great video 😊
Best that the dishwasher found the bone and not your teeth! Good find and glad it’s all working again. 😎
Thank you so much! My wife's toothbrush and your video probably saved us quite some money!
Great stuff, with all the money saved you can buy your wife a new toothbrush! Glad I could help out. 😎.

Only thing I didn't like about this video was that you weren't wearing any gloves 😂😭 I probably would've thrown up if I tried to clean that clogged filter with my bare hands 🤢🤮
My wife has those yellow rubber gloves but I can't get them on! Glad I was able to help and hope you get it sorted. 😎
What a hero!! We found a little plastic knife cover stuck down by the propeller (@3.19). This has saved us a great deal of money. Thank you :)
Late to be fixing the dishwasher unless you are somewhere else in the World. Glad you found the fault and happy I could help out. Have a marvellous weekend. 😎
You bewdy, the vacuum was the secret sauce for me thank you so much. I agree, the cup of tea put me in a good mood to start with even though the dishes were piled up everywhere and the missus is daring me to go watch the telly lol thanks so much, great share.
Glad I could help out. 😎
Many thanks Lurgs. All dishwashers I assume work on the same principals. Mine is a Kenwood KDW60S20. The confusing issue with me was that the F2 error came on simultaneously to the mains water being temporarily being cut off. When I followed your instructions step by step it turned that a piece of wood (like a toothpick) about 27mm had got through the filter and was stopping the impellor from working. Once removed the water drained out. You saved me €100 for a call out, many thanks
Marvellous news. Glad I could help you save a bunch of cash. 😎

Thank you for the very informative video. Your video indeed saved me a lot of money! The techniques shown in your video worked for me like a charm.
Thank you so much for the donation, I really do appreciate it more than you know. Channels like mine don't make a lot of money so this is amazing. My last donation was about 6 months ago so thank you again.
@@LurgsHowToGuides I wish I could have donated more. Just image if the 1.3 Million people that viewed this video so far donated a dollar to you! Very sad indeed.
Wow yeh I could retire from my real job!Guess everyone likes free things! Thanks again Chris. Have a fab week.

Nice british pronunciation🙂. My wife (an English language teacher) loves it😉. Thank you for the film and best greetings from Poland.
Greetings to you, glad my Narration helps your wife and that the video was useful. Have a marvellous weekend.😎
Thank you... but first I have to fix the dishwaser...😉👍
I couldn't figure out how to fix my dishwasher after watching other videos. But your video helped figure out what I was missing --- a cup of tea, my spouse's toothbrush, and a cute dalmatian.
Yeh they definitely help! Thanks for the comment and glad I could help. Have a Merry Christmas. 🎄
Congratulations! A dishwasher has just been fixed in Madrid thanks to your help! 🎉😂
@@fairymisrule Marvellous and congrats getting to the Euro2024 final. 😎
broken off bits of chopsticks go “B-R-R-R-T” in the impeller. Thanks m8!
Glad it's all sorted and THANK YOU so much for the Donation, really really appreciate that. Have a great day. 😎
Great video! Saved us couple of hundred $, was able to figure it out on my own with help of your video, didn’t need to call a professional. Thank you!!
Marvellous news, glad my video helped you and glad it’s all working and I’ve saved you some cash.😎
Many thanks for this video, it was a life saver. Didn’t realise how clogged my filter was. Cleaned all the components you recommended in your video and just ran a hot cycle. All water drained and the dish washer looks a lot cleaner now. Cheers for this and I have sent a Super Thanks as it’s saved me money…👍
Wow, thank you so much, really really appreciate that. Glad it's all sorted. 😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides this also helped me a lot. There was something by the impeller.
@@woodentrainseriesofficial9511 Cool. Glad to help.😎
Used my partners toothbrush. Didn’t work but she finally moved out. Thank you very much matey 🙏
Enjoy the silence! Merry Christmas. 🎄😎
Thank you so much for this- and for sharing! 🤩 You made me take the step - and did exactly as you showed, and now my dishwasher is as good as new again! ❤🙏 🌟
Fantastic news, glad I could help and that you got it all fixed.😎
Thank you very much. Mine was pumping OK, but then noice was unbearable. Turns out it was a piece of glass that broke during washing few weeks ago, guess I didn't remove all the pieces and one of them got into propeller.
You're life saver or should I say pump saver. Cheers from Poland
Good find! Glad it’s all working again for you and glad I could help.😎
Partners’ toothbrush mentioned twice, you’re literally making me fall over! LMAO!
So funny 🤣🤣
Very amusing, amongst frustration of we are moving.& Senior parent doesn't need extra expenses.but video is very charming & easy to understand.
You saved me! There was a rubber band wrapped around the impeller. How did that happen? Regardless, thanks a million times! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you. Yes unusual in a Dishwasher but glad it’s all working again, great news. Saved from having to wash up!😎
Never put wine glasses in dishwasher, they break and tiny shards of glass lodge in the impeller, which is plastic, then the glass destroys the impeller and you get to visit the appliance store.
Thanks noticed my Bosch dishwasher made a noise when expelling water , the official Bosch vid explains how to check the impeller was confusing , yours was clear and easy to understand
Great news. Glad that I could help out. 😎
had to pass this on to my friends, even the ones without dishwashers! Wow , start with a real cup of tea. Daisy Dalmatian at the 2 min mark. instructions easy to follow with only the stuff we all have to hand in the kitchen/bathroom.
Thanks for sharing, glad you found it entertaining and also useful. 😎
Thanks a lot, we just followed your instructions and found a sim card blocking the propeller! No Idea how it got there, you saved us small fortune. We have subscribed.
A SIM card! Wow they are small, surely someone is missing a working phone then? Good find anyway and glad I could help. Thanks for subscribing to my channel.😎👍🏻
Simple tools which everyone should have at home did the job easily:)
Great stuff, glad I could help out. Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄.
Your video and instructions were very good, very clear m but the music in the background made it a bit hard to hear at the start…., but you have quite a good clear voice so luckily I heard. I do use finish every six weeks, so was gutted when we had this problem…will check it out tomorrow! 🤞🤞 many many thanks . Best wishes from Norfolk👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good luck, hope it gets sorted 😎
Thanks brother! You saved my marriage! 😂 thank you indeed! Dishwasher is up an running well now!
Great news, glad to help with your Dishwasher and your marriage.😎
The pictures in the manual I had didn't correspond with what I was seeing which made me a bit confused, but this video cleared everything up. Thanks!
Great news. Glad that I could help out. 😎
Thanks so much mate, you helped out a lot. 👍, you deserve some beers.
Ooh yeh please send a crate over! Glad I could help out. 😎
I’m in love with your dotty four legged friend ❤️ You couldn’t have done it without her ❤️
Yes she did try her best! Happy New Year.😎
05:17 "take your partner's toothbrush when you're angry at them" LOL
Yeh it could start a big argument!😆
Thank you: very calm and thorough tutorial. I have zero DIY talent but with the help of your youtube tutorial, managed to complete the steps to solve the water not draining from my dishwasher.
Fabulous news, great result. Glad to help. Happy Easter🐣 .
Aww your little beautiful polka dotted loving being!
This is a video with information about dishwasher th-cam.com/video/g7Ip4dUDXrI/w-d-xo.html
you just saved my 800 rupees for the technician's visit. thanks for the informative video.
Fabulous news, great saving. Happy New Year 😎.
Very educational video. Just a gentle reminder that you have to kiss your partner before you decide to use your partner's toothbrush .
Oops! Glad I could help out. Have a very Merry Christmas. 🎄
Hi, thanks a ton for showing how to open that white part so clearly.
I generally use the quick cycle on a regular basis on my month old siemens dishwasher & it worked great with 10-15 gm of Finish detergent. But since last 3 cycles, I have few soap suds remaining on the bottom of the dishwasher at the end of the quick cycle (the water drains away).To clear away the soap suds, after unloading the dishwasher, I tried the Prerinse cycle which runs only for 15 min. on an empty dishwasher without adding any detergent & opened it when 12 min. were left. There was soapy water inside & all the water drained away at the end of 15 min. leaving behind extremely miniscal amount of soap suds behind. I clean the outer filter very 2nd day & so its always pretty clean. I ran the Prerinse cycle again & that cleared away the soap suds totally.
Seeing your video, I had the courage to open up that white part revealing the impeller inside which moved freely . There was some water below the outer filter in that hollow place inside. Is that normal? There was barely a strand & v. minute 3-4 debri particles. My vacuum cleaner doesn’t suck up water & so I just cleaned dipping a Microfiber cloth inside. Why do I have this soap suds since I haven’t changed the detergent or the type of cycle which I run? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you once again for this demo
I should imagine the cleaning programme is too short for it to work properly. Our dishwasher standard cleaning cycle takes 2hours30mins! Try a normal programme
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your Donation, helps me keep my channel running as I don't make much from adverts. That is very kind and glad that the video was useful and helped you save some money. Have a great week. 😎
Thank you very much. I tried a lot of things, watched so many videos but nothing solved my problem. This morning I saw you video and I repaired everything. Such and illumination. And a well made and funny video. Thanks from Italy.
Thank you. Glad it all worked out. Greetings from England. 😎
This video came in very handy, initially thought the problem was the water inlet valve as the dishwashers water light kept burning, however I noticed the water did not drain on the cycle. Found some broken glass pieces in the drain pump, after following your advice.
Marvellous news that you found the debris and fixed it, glad I was able to help out. 😎
My filter was clean and impeller fan spun freely with no debris near it (other than the magnetic resistance) and drainage hose looks clear too. not sure what to try next
Not sure. Could be a pump failure maybe. Hope you can get it sorted
For me the toothbrush did the trick, that took out a very little piece of debris and now the dishwasher works again. Thanks so much for your video!!
Great stuff. Glad you got it sorted and that I could help out. 😎
Well I’m one happy girl followed your advice and dishwasher working like a dream !! Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Great news, so glad it’s all working again.😎
By following this video, I was able to fix my dishwasher the same day it broke down. Thank you.
Fabulous news, glad you got it fixed and that I was able to help.😎
You're a star, Lurgs - spent the afternoon trying to sort the machine - cleaned everywhere i thought i could get at - plenty of gunk but the impeller did the trick. machine worked straight away!! saveda packet
Fantastic news. Great to be able to save money and fix it yourself. Glad I could help. 😎
You are a legend sir. I was not expecting any chip but there it was a full centimeter one. Thank you for saving us 200 quids and frustration. Love you peculiar funny way
Good find, glad I could help out.😎
Love your personality and direct and specific show and tell. I drink tea too 😃
Thank you. Enjoy your cup of tea 🫖
All down to you why my dishwasher works again.
Thank you very much😊
Marvellous news. Glad my video helped.😎
Your video really saved my ass. I followed your instructions and fixed my dish washer, you are the best!
Great news. Glad it’s all fixed and that I could help out.😎
Little metal tag stuck around the impeller! On my Bosche unit the impeller guard needed a torx bit to remove but after that the cultrip was in plain sight. Running better than ever now, thank you sir! Wife's toothbrush now back in its usual place..
Great news. Glad I could help and that you got it fixed. 😎
My Dishwasher was not draining. Fantastic guide I drained it with a sponge, reset the appliance and what do you know good as new 👍😎
Great news, glad I was able to help and that you got it sorted. 😎
thanks for the tip....hopefully, it will work.?....dishwasher and filter were quite clean considering it was 13 years old. When i removed the plastic where the impeller is, there was a few bits of plastic wrap floating around. Ill get back to you when the dishwasher is used next.
OMG I watched you, then did it and my dishwasher is working again! Brilliant, very easy to follow. Thank you.
Great news, happy that I could help out. 😎
Thanks for the tips I have a Westinghouse dishwasher that keeps displaying the F2 message.
With this model it’s not that easy reaching the pump.
I drained the water using a water vacuum cleaner drain water very quickly.
I looked through the gaps with an inspection camera and I could see hair wrapped around the pump propeller but could not reach to clean.
Closed all taps drain all hoses disconnected electricity.
Push dishwasher out and place it on his back.
Open the bottom and released the hoses leads to the propeller clean the hair but it didn’t seem to stop the propeller from spinning.
Than on the opposite side were the drain hose is there you can open this chamber just by spinning it anti clockwise quarter a spin and there I found the real cause of the problem a piece that broke from a plate.
Put everything back together and dishwasher work just fine no more F2 error.
Thanks for the tips.
Glad my tips helped fix it all. Great news.😎
Thank you! My pump was blocked by a piece of glass, now its all good👌
Nice one, just have to be a bit careful with broken glass. Glad you got it sorted and glad I could help.😎
Great help, my dish washer is blocked and I will try this . Great video, thanks
Thanks. Hope you can get it sorted.😎
Thanks a lot… I have same kind of dishwasher and your video help me a lot to clean my dishwasher and save a lot of money …
Great news, glad that I could help out and that you got it sorted. 😎
what a pleasant vid. I have a Bosch dishwasher and followed all these steps, thanks!
Cheers. Hope it’s all working properly. Run a dishwasher clean every 30 cycles to keep it clean. th-cam.com/video/xerNQOuGrVM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Lurgs, thank you for such a clear and detailed video. I’ve tried everything you have said on the video and my dishwasher is very clean and I can’t see any blockages in the pipes but the water is still not draining. Would appreciate any help you could offer please.
Sounds like the pump is faulty or the impeller is still blocked with debris maybe.
Waar TH-cam niet goed voor is. Heeft me goed geholpen. Thanks.
Thank you. Glad I could help. 😎
