There has to be a way to clean out that filter. I had a different one and I could take it apart and clean out all the gunk and slime. Ur telling we can’t access this from inside dishwasher. That silly little triangle filter will do nothing to stop stuff… looks like poor design
Appreciate it bro! Opened up my main pump motor and the internals came apart jamming the motor and also causing to severely overheat. Luckily I’m within the 2 year warranty, God bless!
Juat going through this with the same model. Ill try to remenber to come back. The motor is very hot but doesnt smell like a burnt motor so im gonna wait for everything to cool down and try cleaning everything. Edit: took apart the motor. Got the little filter out. Cleaned the motor intake blades (not too bad) The filter was really bad (make sure people aren't putting labeled glass jars in the machine! My pump filter was basically a harry potter book) Put it all back together and it runs fine! Thank you for saving me an easy $400 on parts not including labour ♡
It's definitely not a good filter design. Thank you! Just took it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together. Motor is still good. Saved me $250 to $400.
Did the motor work after you cleaned it? I’ve got a slightly different Maytag but same filter thing. I wonder if I can try this as it randomly throws an E1 F9 at me
Since the motor was still covered under the warranty, the repairman just gave us a new motor so I don't know if the old motor worked after it was cleaned
Did you have to pull the dishwasher out to replace the motor? We are having the same issue. Hopefully I'll be able to clean and test prior to ordering a new motor
Whirlpool also owns Maytag. Whirlpool also owns Kitchen Aid. I have seen Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, and Maytag dishwashers that all look the same inside. The difference is price, and rebranding the same machine. I had three Kitchen Aid dishwashers all made by Whirlpool. The last one failed. I replaced it with a Maytag with a different circulation pump design. Now I finally have a machine that actually works. Kitchen Aid used to be the king of all Cadillacs when it came to dishwashers. Now after owning three of them, the Maytag I got works better.
You need to scrape any large particles of food with every dishwasher but you don't need to rinse. No home dishwasher today is made to also act as a food disposal.
Thanks for posting. My circulation pump stopped. I took motor filter out, and unclogged. Working like a charm again! You saved me some $.
Awesome!

Oh good! So glad the video helped
Its plugged because there is stuff that should not be run through the dishwasher. Lots of labels from jars, napkins, toothpicks.
Do you know if you have to take the motor out to get to that filter or can you just lay the dishwashe on its back and pull that out
it's not even a year, mine is same
What if I get my dishes rinsed before putting them in the dishwasher, do you thing I will get the same problem?
That should significantly decrease the likelihood. That is what we try to do now to avoid this problem again.
Can you remove that without pulling dish washer out from counter ?
No, you have to pull the dishwasher out
Its such a bad filter design. Ive only had mine a little over a year and all kinds of problems now
Agreed

8:10 pm. 3 years in. Do not buy. Went to Home Depot today. Whirlpool to replace.

@@ericknoblauch9195 What model did you end up getting?
Having this issue right now. Did the diagnostic test. It ran through , now its just all lite up. Whats next? E1F9 error code
e1f9 means it's either draining too slowly or not at all.
How old is your dishwasher because I'm having the same problem and it 5 years old
We bought our dishwasher in 2022. So, just a couple years old
How do I access the motor?
You have to pull the dishwasher out. Sorry I didn't get a video of that part.
You can't just pop it out. You have take the whole damn.motor out and take it apart
Will definitely avoid this model thank you!
I can't even get to the video due to a string of lengthy, forced ads. So frustrating!
Sorry, I have no control over the ads
You can thank google for that.
why do people have dishwashers. to wash dishes right. so then why must you wash the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher makes no sense to me.
You need to scrape any large particles of food with every dishwasher but you don't need to rinse. No home dishwasher today is made to also act as a food disposal.
