Bob for Model Number Maytag MDB4651AWB serial number starts with 37 The dishwasher was not draining properly. The flow to the drain seems to be weak and it seemed that the timer was turning off the pump before the water was gone. I checked the interior filters (Filter plate (reference 2 in the Pump and motor parts diagram) and pump filter (6) and found some soap or mineral deposits. That I removed as best I could. I also checked the rest of the interior water paths. The baffle (14) to the water pump seemed to be clear. This did not solve the problem, perhaps some of the soap/mineral crud is clogging somewhere. I have disconnected both ends of the drain hose (Item Number: AP4114287 Manufacturer's Number: 99002652) and tried to pour water through it. It did not flow easily, but with significant effort I was able to blow water through. Is that normal or is there a problem with the hose? If I have to check the pump further, do I need to remove the dishwasher from under the counter to reach it? Thanks, Bob
Answer Bob, It sounds like you may have a restricted or kinked drain hose WP99002652, You may have to remove the dishwasher to check ? Based on your post that's the most likely issue. Your drain pump [AP4364233} is located in the right rear corner of the dishwasher and can be removed without disturbing the dishwasher, but it can be a "tight" squeeze. You may wan to remove it and check the impeller for damage. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, October 13, 2012
