Bart August 23, 2018 for Model Number Whirlpool Quiet partner 3 Can a check valve in a drain hose go bad? Washer not draining. Tested drain pump with voltmeter and that tested ok. Have run a small drain snake through the drain line on the machine, got several small pieces of glass out of the drain line on the machine. Pulled the whole motor out of the bottom, inspected everything, found no obstruction. Just ran a rinse cycle. The last time I ran a rinse cycle, yesterday, the drain in the disposal ran slowly, I could feel the hot water and the dribble of hot water coming out while the drain pump ran for about 40 seconds. The drain pump then shut off with water still in the bottom of the machine. Today, after pulling the motor and then putting the washer back together, I ran the rinse cycle again. The rinse works, so the circulation pump is working. This time, however, there was no water entering the disposal. I could feel it get warm but no water. I just pulled the washer back out and the drain hose is empty. You can hear the drain pump running for about 40 seconds. The check valve in the bottom of the washer looked normal and flapped up in the space between the grinder and the drain pump.
1 Answer Bart, If you have had glass in your drain hose then it has gone thru your pump possibly damaging the impeller and and causing the unit not to drain.Either that or a piece of glass will stop up the drain line. Read More...
Paul September 26, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool My upper tray dishes weren't being cleaned, so I followed suggestions and found that grinder was clogged. I replaced it, but it keeps clogging. It works fine for a couple of loads, but then has to be cleaned again. It seems to turn fine when on the impeller. Could the impeller be the problem? There is also a small amount of water in the lower well where the grinder sits. Is this normal? Finally, I took the check valve out. It appears normal, but how do you tell? It seems to be just a fixed piece of rubber, so I am not sure what function it might play in all of this. Thanks much for your help.
1 Answer Hello Paul. It is possible the impeller is bad and not turning the grinder properly. If you replace it and it still continues, then you will need to check the circulation pump. Read More...
Dani January 01, 2016 for Model Number DU1030XTXQ1 I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1 Dishwasher, and hardly any water comes out of the arms. It just leaks down & doesn't spray or make them turn. Everything else works fine. I had the exact same problem with my last Dishwasher so I replaced it with this one and it has been doing this since day one. Which leads me to believe it is not the dishwasher. The water is turned on all the way going to it. The hoses have no kinks or leaks. Please help!!! What could this be??? Thank you.
1 Answer Dani, Even with the water turned completely on if there is not enough water getting into the unit then this will cause the issue. There could be a restriction in the water supply that is causing this issue. Check to make sure that the water valve is not clogged with debris and check the water pressure to the unit. Read More...
Ron September 23, 2015 for Model Number she55m06uc/50 It runs through the cycles, then starts over again.

Brandon April 30, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Quiet Partner 2 My quiet partner 2 suddenly stopped draining after a cycle. If I press the drain button, it drains just fine. I even replaced the pump in case it was just a glitch but still no luck I've even replaced the control board with a used working one from a local appliance shop (I know it works fine because I saw it working just fine on their floor model). I'm very stumped right now.
1 Answer Brandon, To properly assist you we will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
1 Answer Ronnie, You will want to check the filter screens on the unit to ensure that they are not clogged which would cause the issue. Also check to make sure that the impeller on the drain pump is not damage. Read More...
Laura October 03, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Model 665 Further to the earlier question: My check valve broke off and the round part went into the hole on the right. I've managed to get the piece out and confirmed that the impeller etc is still working. Can I use the dishwasher in the interim without the check valve while I wait on a replacement?
1 Answer Hello Laura, You can still use the dishwasher but it will not clean properly since part of the drain water will mix back in with the wash and rinse water. Also, water from the sink drain may backfill into the dishwasher. Read More...
Kevin May 19, 2014 My check valve broke off and the round part went into the hole on the right. Will this drain through the pipes or would it mess something up. Is there any way to get it out? Thanks
1 Answer Kevin, The check valve could possibly get stuck in the drain hose and you will need to make sure that you get it out of the drain hose. Read More...
David February 03, 2014 for Model Number kudp02crbs1 My dishwasher fails to drain at the end of a wash cycle (quite a bit of water remains in the bottom). If I start a rinse cycle and then hit the cancel button after a minute then it is able to drain completely. This makes me think that there can't be a clog in the drain line and that the drain pump must be working correctly, but I still can't figure out why it isn't draining at the end of a full wash cycle.
1 Answer Hello David. If you are sure the pump is good and nothing is siphoning back into the unit, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. If water is coming back in, replace the check valve in the unit. Read More...
