My problem was an exact copy...found glass in filter area and then when I removed the pump there was another piece there as well. Thank you! Saved me buying a new pump and all the hassle of getting a service call
Saved myself a bunch of time by using a shop vac to get the water out. Took about a minute and a half - no basting necessary. This was the answer to my problems. Thank you!
OMG thanks for this. Searching all over and figured would need a new pump. Gave up for a while and came back to it this afternoon and your video was the first to pop up. THIS WORKED!!!! Found a small screw and a piece of plastic. Ran a rinse then a drain and perfection. THANK YOU!!! I managed to get it fixed before the hubs comes home from work.
This was so helpful. I had this exact problem. A piece of glass the size of my fingernail was jammed in the impeller and stopping the whole machine. This video was perfect in showing me how to safely take the thing apart and find the piece of glass and as I write this comment I am listening to my dishwasher happily humming along and cleaning the dishes. Thanks so much!
Thank you Scott! I thought this might be a big issue, but the drain motor was pinned with a soda pop top. Fifteen minutes and the dishwasher was working again. Thank you!

Greatly appreciated! My parents were talking about buying a new dishwasher! Thanks to your video I was able to find the problem in 15 minutes and save them hundreds!
Thanks for doing this video. I followed what you did step by step and found a piece of glass causing the impeller to misbehave . I removed it and it worked like new. My wife is happy again.
Our extended warranty on this model expired 1 month ago and my wife and promised each other dinner out if we could jointly fix this. We did! A fantastically clear, step-by-step approach to solving a problem that we would have previously called serviceman for. Videoing this must have been a bit tricky but the details were perfect. A huge thanks!
Just watched the video, it was spot on. When I pulled the impeller, I found a pice of glass that was stuck. I put everything back together ran a short cycle to verify no leaks. Thanks for the info. Great job
Dang, your damn door covers up the most important part of this video, getting the motor off. I’m stuck at this point. It looks like I might have two clips on both sides and it doesn’t want to budge. :(
Thank you! I mistakenly believed my pump's impeller was working properly since it discharged some water, and sometimes it would even discharge all of it. But most of the time it would give a couple of squirts and quit. Being at the end of my rope, I did as you demonstrated and disassembled the impeller, and lo and behold! It was full of toothpicks and bits of fibre and other rubbish. It's running like a champ again. Cheers!
This video was perfect--I took the drain pump off as you described and found a piece of plastic tangled in the impeller. Now I can cancel my appliance appointment I made. Thanks!
Hey Scott the Fixit guy, Thanks sooo much! I followed your instructions, found some glass beside the pump but the worst was the hose to the sink; completely blocked! Now I know why our dishes weren't coming out clean for a while now. I hiked up my Wetvac to the 'blow' end, blocked the rest of the crevice tool with my hand and blew the junk out of the hose! Hooked the dishwasher back up and is working like a charm! You saved me days of manual dish washing and a sh#*load of money! So I put 20$ into your coffee fund. Cheers!
Excellent video! Have been chasing this problem for weeks and already replaced the dryer motor. Turns out it was a bread bag tie stuck in the drain motor! Thank you!
It is Christmas morning, and the dishwasher totally stopped working. Didn't completely drain, and lights on front were not working. Didn't make any sounds. Followed these instructions exactly and found a shard of glass (from a Christmas Eve wine glass?) caught in the impeller...precisely like in this video. DW now working perfectly. Christmas Day is saved! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This video helped solve our problem. There was gunk buildup on the other end of the hose, at garbage disposal. Blowing into the drain pipe had no movement and that was the eureka moment for me. I couldn’t have figured it out without your help!
Thank you for your very detailed video. My problem was exactly as you encountered here-broken glass jamming the prop for the drain pump. You saved me a costly service call, and I appreciate it!
I can't thank you enough for this video. You saved me from having to hire a repair man or get a new dishwasher. I was so stressed over this and it was so easy to follow. Thank you so much!!!

Like everyone else here, you saved me- THANK YOU!! Took it apart per your instructions and found a broken piece of plastic rack that had somehow made it's way through the filter. Saved me a hefty plumbing bill I'm sure. Appreciate your help!
Thank you very much. Your video was spot on and you described everything perfectly. I had the same problem as you, a piece of glass was stuck in the impeller. You saved me $170 which is the minimum charge for the appliance guy to even come out.
I’m a 59 year old housewife and got tired of washing the dishes by hand while we figured out what to do with our dishwasher, saw your video and viola! Shard of glass just like you said! Thanks!
FANTASTIC! Thank you! Handy man pulled out the washer, ran it, then announced it needed a new drain pump. Thankfully you had this very helpful DIY........oh yeah, piece of glass about the size bean dropped out as soon as I took off the drain hose.
AMAZING dude!! #1)no clogged filter #2) Checked impeller housing, no issue #3) Checked the long clear drainage hose, no issue #4) Scum buildup in the black pvc piping nozzle end, that juts out from the sink drain for the dishwasher attachement. Simply passed a screwdriver into the nozzle to remove scum. We are good to go again :) Problem solved! Keep up the amazing video, you are the man!
Thanks for the video. Took out some small twigs out of the pump but still not draining. Turned out to be the looong and twisted hose plugged by mushy stuff. Glad hubby thought of using the air pump for inflatable kayak so we blew the stuff out. Wouldn’t know how to start without your video!
I just watched your video and then performed this exact repair while replaying it as I went through the process to the “T”! Pulled a 5/8” diameter piece of a ceramic bowl out of the pump. Bravo!
Hooray, this video was brilliant! Followed all the steps, and…Got the pump (one of the blades was broken off,)ordered new part from Amazon ($29.95) reattached pump & hose in less than 2 min, fabulous! PS I am a 73 year old woman
Just want to say a big thank-you for posting this concise and accurate video. Based on your information I was able to get to the pump (- didn't even have to take it off) by removing the drain hose as you demonstrated and found an elastic band wrapped around the impeller. A pair of needle-nosed pliers and a pair of scissors quickly resolved the problem. Thanks again!
My Kitchenaid Dishwasher stopped draining water and was leaving a tub full of water. Checking the Hose under sink showed nothing. I have a wet/dry Shop vacume that enabled me to get all the water out of the Diswasher tub and get things dry really quick. then took the steps shown here and found a piece of trim from a pot in the Pump impeller preventing it from Spinning. Dishwasher seems to be doing fine now....thank you Scott.
Thanks, your were right on. Followed all the steps and yep a piece of glass in pump just as you have shown. For a person not mechanically aptitude you made it easy again thanks.
Thank you!! I didn't know what to do as dishwasher just halted after a few seconds and that noise just felt like something was definitely in there. I found a rotten screw and finding the source of that is another story but we're back in business!
Thank you. I’m a Bosch person and learned how to do that but I didn’t think of digging underneath and pulling all that apart. But yes. Glass. Thank you.
Hi, My Kitchenaid dishwasher was not draining. I watched this video, and it was VERY helpful. There was a piece of glass in his pump. Guess what was in mine, A piece of F N glass!!!!! Couldn't believe it. All good!!
Thank you for this video! In my case removing the pump was the most difficult part (took about an hour). I had to apply quite a bit of pressure at 2:56 to get the plastic to release. In fact, it actually just removed the plastic housing, then the motor just slid out (no need to turn counter clockwise in my case). Also, I didn’t find any debris until AFTER I put everything back. A small piece of glass must’ve come out when I detached the hose. Had I seen it, I probably could’ve saved myself the hassle of taking off the motor. Oh well, at least now it’s clean.
A THOUSAND THANKS! This was SO HELPFUL, as I have the exact same dishwasher. It's a joy to be able to access problems without having to entirely remove dishwasher from alcove. This easy-to-follow video and your narration are a GODSEND for someone like me to follow along -- I have very low-level mechanical ability/fix-it skills, and when my spouse ridiculously claims the clog isn't from the drain, but instead is caused by the way dishes are loaded or washed, I can rejoice in not having to ask for help that might take him weeks for follow-thru. Now, instead of a puzzling maze of gadgetry below the dishwasher, I can see where the drain hoses are and know how to check for properly operating drain parts. The feeling that I actually fixed an appliance for the first time in my life is just WOW! A holiday donation is on my list. U rock!!!
Ya, lucky you. In the Superba model not so easy. No access to components from bottom . Drain hose and water inlet . Getting sick of chasing out this problem. Started out with short to terminal connectors to motor to now not draining..
Hey thanks for the inspiration! What mine was is the drain hose where it connected to the sink drain...it was plugged solid with white gunk (soap residue and grease). I simply removed the pipe and voila...used a screw driver and pushed the gunk out...done.
Wow Scott - thank you so much!!! Like the others here, you SAVED US HUGE!!! What a great video. Clear, concise, completely on point. I ended up also having a shard of glass, in addition to a plastic and wire produce bag clip. Great work man.
The exact same thing happened to me as in your video. Thanks to you I was able to fix it in under an hour and I also found a small leak with the water line, a quick tightening and all good. Thanks for the video, you saved us an expensive bill!
THANK YOU!!! I cannot thank you enough! While trying to avoid Covid-19 and care for my medically complicated, high-risk family, our dishwasher stopped working. The chance to avoid a service call saved me money and potential disease exposure! Unlike others, I found not glass but an assortment of random debris including hair. I have no clue how the spindle that holds the impeller blade became so encased in hair. Using a dental tool it took me 1.5 hrs. to remove the hair from the spindle. Afterward, after reattaching the drain tube, I realized that it's a good idea to pour a small amount of water into the dishwasher to check for leakage before trying to run a normal dishwashing load. (I realized this after I realized that the hose clamp wasn't in the right spot.)

Thank goodness for this video. I’m sure I have a piece of glass in there as well. Getting ready to drain the water so I can rewatch the video. I have a Kitchen Aid too . Fingers crossed.
I followed this video and I I found the exact same issue. A shard of wine class got stuck in the same spot. Got it out and the machine is running like new. Thank you.
This worked like a freakin charm! Thanks for posting this. I had nearly the exact same issue, and so pumped to have this video to guide me through the process.

This was the exact fix I needed thanks so much! I had a piece of glass stuck in that little drain motor....which turned out to be multiple pieces, but eventually I got it all cleaned out
🤩Thank you so much. I had a different KitchenAid model and had to pull it out from under the counter but that is exactly what the problem was. Wish I could post a picture here.
Great video ! I'd like to add that my issue was at the other end of the drainage hose near the sink plumbing and there was a clog there. Popcorn seeds = bad! Technically it was my neighbors issue but this video really helped, thanks a bunch!
Excellent video. Cleaning the bottom of the Kitchenaid dishwasher I and saw that is itsn't draining completely. I'm going to check the drain per your video to see if I too have a simple fix. Thanks!
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Hi. So I was able to get as far as removing the drain hose to check for debris and look into the pump "outlet" (it was clear) and spin the impeller. I was not able to remove the pump as my model is a bit different. (KDFE104DSS4). My issue may be "normal". There is about an inch to 1.5 of an inch of water in the drain reservoir after the dishwasher runs. The dishwasher get mold inside and I wondered if the water being in the reservoir would be a possible cause of the mold. I cleaned everything (filter, screen and dishwasher). So time will tell. Thanks for following up!
this is a very helpful video. when inspecting the impeller on the drain motor there was a build up of what appeared to be part of a rubberband wrapped tightly around the impeller driveshaft that had accumulated other debris like hair and parts of what looked like a string. got that all removed and unfortunately after putting it all back together and attempting another drain, no dice. guessing there's a block in my drain line or if there is and check valve that wasn't fully removed when installing a garbage disposal
Well, you just saved me probably hours of trying to do it myself, a lot of profanities, and finally an expensive service call. I had a rubber gasket for something stuck in my impeller and now it’s working perfectly. Thank you!
Worked! Clear & concise. Had a glass shard in my impeller. Only thing I would add would be to take a drain rooter and unclog the drain line. Tried that first, but it wasn't the problem. Thanks for making this.
Thanks you very much for making this video available! It was perfect as I also have a Kitchenaid (looks like the same model too) and it would not drain AND I am not mechanically included (not at ALL!). It gave me the confidence to make me try and fix it. I had trouble getting the impeller off because I couldn't locate the tab supposedly holding it in place but after some pulling and twisting I was able to get it off. At first I didn't see anything blocking the exposed hole and the impeller spun just fine. I took the opportunity to suck, then blow, then suck the opening with a shopvac. I then felt around the floor underneath the hole and found a seed. It might have fallen out when I took off the impeller. In any case, I believe it was what caused the noise I was hearing when I tried to run the drain function (this noise disappeared and the motor wasn't operating at all after a while). I put everything back together and everything worked! I celebrated the occasion of actually being able to fix something! And just before we had a party of six for dinner, so I wouldn't have to wash all those dishes by hand! So, again, thanks for giving me the motivation to fix it. It also made me decide to (in the future) buy a dishwasher that makes access to the pump easier than making your get under your machine and only give you a few inches of clearance to work with! Bosche 300 for example, has such a feature.
And I want to add that it just means one less dishwasher added to landfill somewhere because a simple seed blocked the drain pump. I wonder how many dishwashers end up in landfill because of something so simple, when the dishwasher is otherwise in good operating order.
Yep , I’m proud of you Eric😊 Such a good feeling to fix something all by yourself👍 I bet around 80% of the appliances in the landfill have simple 20.00 periphreal parts that need to be replaced
My problem was an exact copy...found glass in filter area and then when I removed the pump there was another piece there as well. Thank you! Saved me buying a new pump and all the hassle of getting a service call
Awesome,
Thanks Lynn😊
Oh my word, this video was just perfect! I am so proud of myself for repairing my dishwasher all by myself, and it's because of you. Thanks Scott!!
Thanks! This was exactly my problem. Small piece of glass stuck in the impeller. Got the whole thing fixed and running in one hour flat.
So happy!! It took me 10 minutes to solve my problem, a sunday evening at 22h15... You saved me a service call!! $$$$. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so Much Nicolas 😊😊😊
Saved myself a bunch of time by using a shop vac to get the water out. Took about a minute and a half - no basting necessary.
This was the answer to my problems. Thank you!
Very good👍

God, lifesaver of a video here. My kitchen aid wasn’t draining either and this video was a big help. Same problem even tiny piece of glass down below.

Just watched the video, it was spot on. When I pulled the impeller, I found a pice of glass that was stuck. I put everything back together ran a short cycle to verify no leaks. Thanks for the info. Great job
Thanks Rich👍
You turned what I thought would either be a huge headache or a call to the repair guy into a ten minute DIY fix. Thanks a lot!
That’s what I love to hear👍

Dang, your damn door covers up the most important part of this video, getting the motor off. I’m stuck at this point. It looks like I might have two clips on both sides and it doesn’t want to budge. :(
It's guys like you, helping guys like me, that restores my faith in humanity and mankind.
Thanks so much Kevin
Thank you! I mistakenly believed my pump's impeller was working properly since it discharged some water, and sometimes it would even discharge all of it. But most of the time it would give a couple of squirts and quit. Being at the end of my rope, I did as you demonstrated and disassembled the impeller, and lo and behold! It was full of toothpicks and bits of fibre and other rubbish. It's running like a champ again. Cheers!
This video was perfect--I took the drain pump off as you described and found a piece of plastic tangled in the impeller. Now I can cancel my appliance appointment I made. Thanks!
You did all yourself 😊😊😊
Hey Scott the Fixit guy, Thanks sooo much! I followed your instructions, found some glass beside the pump but the worst was the hose to the sink; completely blocked!

Wow, nicely done Maureen😊
Thank you Scott!!! Easily saved me a $200 bill as you KNOW they would want to replace the motor. Rubber band wrapped up and tied it up nicely!
Nice job Corey😊👍
Thank you! I also found a small piece of glass next to the impeller. Your directions are very helpful!!
Awesome job 👍😊
Just saved us a thousand bucks! We are so sick of this washing machine and were about to just replace it after yet another issue but this fixed it!!

Thank goodness for this video. I’m sure I have a piece of glass in there as well. Getting ready to drain the water so I can rewatch the video.
I have a Kitchen Aid too . Fingers crossed.
I followed this video and I I found the exact same issue. A shard of wine class got stuck in the same spot. Got it out and the machine is running like new. Thank you.
That is excellent news 😊
This worked like a freakin charm! Thanks for posting this. I had nearly the exact same issue, and so pumped to have this video to guide me through the process.

Extremely helpful, thank you!!!! Problem solved by following your step-by-step approach.
Thanks so much Josh😊👍
This was the exact fix I needed thanks so much! I had a piece of glass stuck in that little drain motor....which turned out to be multiple pieces, but eventually I got it all cleaned out
Thanks so much Chad
🤩Thank you so much. I had a different KitchenAid model and had to pull it out from under the counter but that is exactly what the problem was. Wish I could post a picture here.
Great job Peter😊😊😊
Perfect advice. EXACTLY what was wrong. Only difference....clear glass not blue! Thanks!
Thanks so much Stephen😊👍
Thank you. Your video was very helpful and saved me a costly repair bill.
Thanks so Much Donna👍
Great video ! I'd like to add that my issue was at the other end of the drainage hose near the sink plumbing and there was a clog there. Popcorn seeds = bad! Technically it was my neighbors issue but this video really helped, thanks a bunch!
Nice job😊👍
Perfect, Scott, kudos! Donated with your link above, thanks again
Thanks so much Keith, I really appreciate it😊😊😊
Great video. This saved me. I found a small piece of broken glass near the impeller blade. Thank you!
Thanks Mark👍
Excellent video. Cleaning the bottom of the Kitchenaid dishwasher I and saw that is itsn't draining completely. I'm going to check the drain per your video to see if I too have a simple fix. Thanks!
Thanks Catherine please let us know how it goes👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Hi. So I was able to get as far as removing the drain hose to check for debris and look into the pump "outlet" (it was clear) and spin the impeller. I was not able to remove the pump as my model is a bit different. (KDFE104DSS4). My issue may be "normal". There is about an inch to 1.5 of an inch of water in the drain reservoir after the dishwasher runs. The dishwasher get mold inside and I wondered if the water being in the reservoir would be a possible cause of the mold. I cleaned everything (filter, screen and dishwasher). So time will tell. Thanks for following up!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was exactly what was going on with ours. A piece of glass was the culprit.
this is a very helpful video. when inspecting the impeller on the drain motor there was a build up of what appeared to be part of a rubberband wrapped tightly around the impeller driveshaft that had accumulated other debris like hair and parts of what looked like a string. got that all removed and unfortunately after putting it all back together and attempting another drain, no dice. guessing there's a block in my drain line or if there is and check valve that wasn't fully removed when installing a garbage disposal
I bet you’re right.
Could be also that it’s time for a new drain pump.
Thanks man!! My piece of glass looked just like yours:). You saved me a service call$$$
Hurrah for you and your video! Was able to get it going w/o too much fuss! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for posting!! I just fixed mine doing this EXACT same thing. Thank you!!
You are very welcome 😊👍
Yes! You're a life saver. My culprit was an olive pit.
Worked great. Piece of glass in impeller as well! Great help!!
Well, you just saved me probably hours of trying to do it myself, a lot of profanities, and finally an expensive service call.
I had a rubber gasket for something stuck in my impeller and now it’s working perfectly. Thank you!
Great to hear!😊👍
Thank you. Your step by step video is exactly what I needed to fix my issue.
Awesome😊
Worked! Clear & concise. Had a glass shard in my impeller. Only thing I would add would be to take a drain rooter and unclog the drain line. Tried that first, but it wasn't the problem. Thanks for making this.
Same problem. Found glass too. Thank so much!
Thanks Kathy😊😊😊
Very helpful video. I had the same problem, stuck broken glass piece. Was able to fix my dishwasher after following the video.
You the man. Step where easy to follow. In my case the discharge hose was clogged.
Wow. Piece of glass in mine as well. This worked perfect!!
Thanks Robert,
That’s great news 😊
What a great Video ! saved me hours of headache, and $100's of dollars. Amazing , thanks !!!!!!!!!
Excellent , thanks for the feedback 👍
Thank you!!! I had an arrow head size piece of glass in mine. Works perfectly!!!!
You're welcome!👍😊
Thanks you very much for making this video available! It was perfect as I also have a Kitchenaid (looks like the same model too) and it would not drain AND I am not mechanically included (not at ALL!). It gave me the confidence to make me try and fix it. I had trouble getting the impeller off because I couldn't locate the tab supposedly holding it in place but after some pulling and twisting I was able to get it off. At first I didn't see anything blocking the exposed hole and the impeller spun just fine. I took the opportunity to suck, then blow, then suck the opening with a shopvac. I then felt around the floor underneath the hole and found a seed. It might have fallen out when I took off the impeller. In any case, I believe it was what caused the noise I was hearing when I tried to run the drain function (this noise disappeared and the motor wasn't operating at all after a while). I put everything back together and everything worked! I celebrated the occasion of actually being able to fix something! And just before we had a party of six for dinner, so I wouldn't have to wash all those dishes by hand! So, again, thanks for giving me the motivation to fix it. It also made me decide to (in the future) buy a dishwasher that makes access to the pump easier than making your get under your machine and only give you a few inches of clearance to work with! Bosche 300 for example, has such a feature.
And I want to add that it just means one less dishwasher added to landfill somewhere because a simple seed blocked the drain pump. I wonder how many dishwashers end up in landfill because of something so simple, when the dishwasher is otherwise in good operating order.
Yep , I’m proud of you Eric😊 Such a good feeling to fix something all by yourself👍
I bet around 80% of the appliances in the landfill have simple 20.00 periphreal parts that need to be replaced
Thanks for the video, now I know where to start at least.
Excellent,
Let me know if I can help you😊
Thanks. Big help. Yep had glass in mine too.
Nicely done 😊
WOW. Exactly the fix I needed. One of the clips from the top rack was the culprit. Great Video. Easy to understand. Thanks so much.
thanks so much, this was exactly our problem.... God Bless you for sharing your knowledge !! Happy Thanksgiving !!
Thanks so much Russel😊
Dude you are really helpful. I think that you explain it very well and I bet this helps me fix my dishwasher. Thanks
Thanks so Much Scott.
Best of Luck to you 😊
great video...motor blockage was the problem
Excellent, thank you 👍😊
Found the piece of glass!!! Thank you... still loud, but running!
Ice job Jennifer 😊
