EASY FIX: Whirlpool Dishwasher Washing Cycle Loud Noise - Removed Random Debris - Model DU945PWSB0 

I wedged a 22mm wrench down the side of the black center piece was the only way could remove it be as careful as possible

Thanks for the video. I was able to do all the steps, with power tools, so 5 minutes disassembly and reassembly. Cleaning the bottom of all the debris did help with the noises, so for now it's fixed.

Thanks for the upload. Came home last night, wife something wrong with dishwasher. Look for 45 minutes to find you with the same one. Thanks again. 👍

That little black center piece and bolt are a pain! I’m going to get the right size crescent wrench now and I’m gonna get this done! 🙏🏼

centre bolt was removed easily after using vice grip on outer black lock, my dishwasher is an Inglis looks exactly the same. thanks for the video very helpful!

Thank you so much for this video. I have the exact same model dishwasher which was not draining. I was able to fix it after watching your video. The middle black disc was little different to open(just like some folks said earlier) but it worked well with your video.

Oh, BTW, I thought that white seal was cracked too, until I saw that the replacement part looked the same.

Thanks, I could figure out how to dismantle the black part. I had three apricot pits and a couple shards of glass.

Thank you very much for your video it was very helpful!

If we can’t get the quarter inch screw off which is holding down the black piece, what do you think we should do.

hi. i did what your video said to do. it worked perfectly. ty so much for that. weeks later now i have a new problem… it used to wash normally. now it would wash but in like 10 seconds it would stop. would delay for a minute or 2. then wash again for 10 seconds and thats become the norm. and now its leaking on the bottom too

Have the same dishwasher, does it have a filter to clean ?

How did you take out the bolt @2:54? Mine is spinning (the black round piece) and not letting me to take it out. TIA!

I quit using Whirlpool. I just finished placing my five year old Whirlpool dishwasher on the curb after 3+ repairs (both boards and water leaks). Repairs are high between year 2 and year 5. I am now using LG until Whirlpool (also sold under multiple names like kitchen-aide) fixes their reliability problems so that their dishwashers provide higher reliability between years 2 and 5. As with most newer appliances, the kitchen appliance industry is struggling with circuit board designs and are still learning how to make circuit boards that are water proof and last 10 years (durable goods requirement) without failures resulting from aging components like capacitors. Of course, the appliance industry redefined durable goods as 10 years of reliability on a few mechanical parts only. In reality, durable goods applies to the entire unit. Like cars, loss of market share will sooner or later result in an effort to remedy the reliability issues. First, they need to hire engineers that now how to specify the electronic components properly (i.e. military grade) source control specifications.

Worked for me! Thanks!!

Hi - I stumbled on your video while trying to determine if my model DU930PWSB0 has a filter that needs cleaning. The owners manual, which I found online and is a shared/common manual for both of our models, identifies the large central assembly as the "POWER CLEAN Filter Module", but makes no mention of periodic cleaning/emptying. Based on your video, I'm pretty sure that central assembly grinds up and discharges any food scraps with the discharge water at the end of a cycle? Does that match your understanding?

Thanks for posting I have been looking for one similar to my Kenmore 665 15 51791 - I am having trouble with the black disc - removing the bolt it just spins even if I hold the large plastic nut on the disc... 🤔

You skipped the part where you removed the bolt from the black round piece. How did you remove it? I’m having trouble getting mine out

1:49 Hey, this part here, the top part, is yours like, wobbly even with that thumb screw in it? is that how it's suppose to be? wobbly?

After unscrewing the 6-8 screws, how do u get the middle one out, tht part keeps turning

Is there a put back together video?

Did it work

I can’t get the centre piece off for the life of me!!

Just took mine apart. Found two white balls that I thought were trash. Then I saw one in your drain. Do you know what they are?

That little black center piece and bolt are a pain! I’m going to get the right size crescent wrench now and I’m gonna get this done! 🙏🏼
