This just came out 3 months ago? Lucky me. Thank you for posting this. You likely saved me at least the cost of a replacement part or a technician to diagnose and fix the problem. I was able to fix my sister's dishwasher today by simply pulling it out and giving the pump a few taps with the handle of a screwdriver as you suggested. I really lucked out in running across this video right when I was starting to try to diagnose the problem today. Thanks a lot. You probably saved me at least a couple hundred bucks.
After watching a video to clean out the same part you tapped. I didn’t see much debris. Plugged in and it didn’t work. I found this video and do the tap thing snd after couple of times tapping…MAGIC!!! What in the world!! Thank you so much!!!
So the tapping fixes the problem because the motor is stuck, and it is trying to rotate. The tap releases the pressure or debris. Normally it doesn’t come back. Also not using your dishwasher often can cause the motor to seize up. Keep your dishwasher clean and clean before putting them in.
@@michaelhorton7934 awesome job. Make sure you try to keep your dishwasher clean. I think i linked some product to keep dishwashers clean and running good
No, it will not. I have done this repair so many times. The problem is when customers put crap and cause the wash pump to bind up. Now it is sitting there stuck. Another thing you can do is flipping the dishwasher upside down. You are basically relocating or the debris. New had a call back. Knock on wood
It's all in knowing where to tap. Experience , The best thing to take on the job. I'm sure there are Co's out there that would change the pump just to charge the customer more money.
