My damn dishwasher!

[MPS]

Ok I know whats gonna come here...don't piss off the ladies guys! We love them and they take care of us!

Anyway....I have been trying to fix my damn dishwasher...ya know I am that guy that doesn't want to go out and buy something new until I have exhausted every possibility of fixing stuff. My dishwasher now looks like sledgy and darko in a p0rn movie together! There is duct tape, handcuffs, and bounding wire everywhere!

Anyway the damn thing won't drain......so I have pulled the guts out of it from the inside and everything looked ok. I replace the drain pump and the drain hose and the thing still won't drain. I hear the water shoot up the hose and drain back into the dishwasher! I wanted to start kicking it tonight and beat it on it like it was Mrs. Obama showing Mr. Obama it was go time!

What the heck do I do now!? ....besides get my shotgun and start blasting!

first pop an oxy and sit back with a crown and coke....ideas will come my friend....ideas will come

 

[MPS]

holy hairdoo batman! I should have known by the avatar! I like the crown and coke idea....but I have to be honest with you my friend...the oxy plan scares the heck out of me

 

[Meatman]

well....plan B is just drink more crown

or **** it and just get one of those countertop ones....they are cheap and how often do you actually use the damn thing anyways

 

[MPS]

more crown...good plan! My partner and I drank a fifth one night when we were in training last Sept in Aspen...that made things go more smoothly until the next morning. I don't recommend the morning part when you have to listen to a 60 year old cop that thinks he is still the boss in all capacities....definite Al Pacino wanna be

Countertop ones? Hmmmm, not sure I know what you mean friend? Is that when you set it on the countertop for your personal pleasure?

 

[Meatman]

are we still talkin about the dishwasher or my wife....cause i'm pretty sure to get her to dishes I have to blindfold her, drag her deep into the woods and threaten to cut off her air supply till her life functions cease to exist

the countertop dishwashers are basically a cheap alternative, about the size of a big microwave, they can hook up to your faucet for a water source and basically do the same thing as a regular washer just on a smaller scale

there is a blockage in the fitting that is in your drain pipe, mine hooks to a fitting under the sink, wouldn,t drain but if i put it in a bucket and turned it on it would, tok the fitting out and there was part of a peanut shell in it

well I replaced the drain pipe...it drains into the garbage disposal and I just replaced the disposal too. I almost picked up the whole thing last night and threw it out back and used it for target practice! I need to give you a good rep because of your avatar! DAYUUM

Meatman...LMFAO! Don't let your wife see this

We must be living the same lives in parrallel or something.......

Mine would not drain the other day either. I have a Mayf.a.g dishwasher.

I pulled out the guts from the inside and soaked up all the water (If you could call it that) and dried it our so I could get a better look.

There is a little rubber valve that got clogged up by debris that would not let the unit drain properly. It is orange in color, and pulled it out and washed it up and it seems to work better now.

Look for the area in the back bottom inside where the water first goes out of the dishwasher. There is where you will find your issue......



Do not take out the components any further than when you see the macerator blade. If you try and pull out the motor, the rest of the water will flow past the oring and onto the floor.


I went ahead and pulled out all the plastic plumbing that distributes water inside the dishwasher........


Holy science experiment Batman!! On the backside of those plastic pieces, was some nasty buildup........No wonder my dishwasher smelled like there is a rotting turkey in there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that is because there practically was,,,,,,,,,,,,, in a paste form on the backside of the plumbing........


I am about a year away from getting a new dishwasher, and I will not buy one that has all that plumbing plastic INSIDE the actual dishwasher........



MayF.a.G is the worst!

When you replaced the disposal, did you knock out the plug (inside the dishwasher connection) on the new disposal? I know ISE disposals have a plug inside the dishwasher connection you have to knock out if you choose to use it that way.

LMAO about parrallel lives. I will check that out, but I have been through all that. Jeff I love ya man!

Chit, that has to be it! I think it did start happening when I replaced the disposal. Thanks dragon!

he sells EVERYTHING now...he's everywhere!!!! Good luck with the dishwasher, make your wifey lick em clean! haha!!

LMAO about Billy Mays or whatever the hell is name is....that dude bugs the chit out of me! That SOB is everywhere! I am afraid he will be lurking around a corner in my house, in my shower scrubbing the tile, or be in my backyard scrubbing my deck with his new super duper soapy citrus wash. He makes me quick to anger! I want to spar with that SOB and wipe that dorky smile off his face! He is kinda like the Pillsbury Dough Boy for me...I want to put a fire cracker in that little guy! Ya I have issues, but I own em! Well I guess there isn't much that doesn't get me quick to anger eh!!? haha I'm just a red blooded American boy!

Thanks for the blessing on the damn dishwasher....but I don't have a wifey (well maybe some would argue that she is close enough)...if I did have a wifey she could lick more important things clean or vice versa! I'm not selfish!

Uh oh I just noticed I have been edited my CatWoman...I better clean myself up with some Oxy!
Sorry CatWoman...I will behave more often.

Dragon probably is right. I was gonna say the same thing, alot of people forget that they come with the plugs in and they have to be taken out, and that includes myself, just finished a kitchen remodel new everything and then thought wtf a 1000 dollar dishwasher that wont drain my p.o.s. in there before would at least drain and drain is all it did and now that I think about it, it was a mayfag as well. Good luck

Last night my dishwasher would not dain, so I took it apart yet again and was stumped.

We had water damage in our house and the linoleum guys pulled out the dishwasher the day before. It ended up that they reinstalled the dishwasher with a huge kink in the discharge line.

Finally, I decided I had enough and was going to pull it out and replace the thing (It was only a matter of time before this POS was going to not drain for me again). I go down to the breaker and switch off the one labeled (Dishwasher). Go and pull the wire nuts off, the neutral and hot touch and Pooooooof!!!, I had a welding class on my hands. The breaker popped off luckily.

I go down and look what I did wrong, and the breaker right above the one labeled "Dishwasher" was the actual one that popped off. NICE LABELING JOB dude!

I heaved the old Mayfag quiet series into the dumpster.


Point is, that if you need any parts off my Mayfag, let me know and I can pull some parts for ya.......
