Before attempting any inspection or repair:

For many American brands (like Whirlpool or GE), you must remove the bottom kickplate (toe kick) at the front of the dishwasher to see the pump motor. Step 5: Clear the Impeller

A small, unglamorous impeller of plastic and magnet, the drain pump lives in the murky sump beneath the lower spray arm. Its purpose is singular and brutal: to expel the fetid, particulate-laden water that has just scrubbed our lasagna pans and cereal bowls. It is the dishwasher’s exhalation. And when it clogs, the machine does not merely break; it drowns.

Dave started where every brave DIYer begins: the filter. He twisted the plastic cylinder at the base, expecting to find a stray pea or a bit of lettuce. He found plenty of gunk, but after a thorough scrub with an old toothbrush, the water still refused to move.

Often, what feels like a pump failure is actually a clogged filter.
