GE Profile Dishwasher Maintenance

Lately the dishes coming out of our dishwasher have a cloudy film on them with small particles of food. I tried to find help online on how to remove and clean the filter but none was available. The owner’s manual I downloaded didn’t cover cleaning the filter either. So I downloaded a parts list and tackled the project without any instructions. Hopefully this video will save you a little time if you decide to clean the filter on your GE Profile dishwasher.

It's 9 years after the fact, but I have to say that this is one of the most detailed DIY videos I've ever seen. I have a GE profile dishwasher with an inside that looks exactly like what you showed. Definitely a big help in figuring out how to take these items out, thanks!

This is an awesome tutorial!! I am a 68 year old lady and I did it with no extra help. Thanks so much!!! You are awesome!

I am a professional TV producer and I simply have to say, this was EXCELLENT! Slow enough to follow, you used a tripod and your voice over explanation was as detailed as it needed to be without opinion, comment or any of the other mistakes that far inferior DIY videos make. I am not usually a DIY person but the cost of repairing this dishwasher is over half the cost of buying a new one. I don't like the disposable nature of things so I thought I would try to fix this myself. After all, if I fail, I have at least tried and learned. THANK-YOU for a terrific DIY video!!

My grandmother's dishwasher wasn't draining, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to remove that basket. Being a handyman, I normally consider myself pretty competent with such things, but I couldn't even find documentation online on how to do it. Thank God I found this video! Excellent video angles, with clear audio explanations. Well done, sir. Thank you very much.

My GLD5600R00CC Profile Dishwasher has never cleaned dishes properly. It was a warranty replacement for a GE Dishwasher the home builders put in and not a brand I'd ever purchase. However, I am stuck with it, so finding/watching this video was a life safer. I'm a 51 year-old female & and easily did it myself. I did break off one of the tabs because GE is flimsy junk, so be careful. We have a whole house filter, charged mineral bed and water softener we add salt to, so it shouldn't need cleaned too frequently. Plus, I completely rinse off my dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Hopefully, disassembling everything and cleaning it will help going forward. I'm tired of having to rewash the dishes by hand. Thank you for your informative video.

Thank you after I bought the house I have been putting up with this same problem for a long time. Popped out the bottom piece and then said what a nitemare. Thanks for proving me right and then showing how to deal with it. Food particles clinging everywhere and that white film. Victory shall be mine cuz of you.

Can’t thank you enough for this video. My service technician turned down the job, saying it would cost more than replacing the dishwasher.

With nothing but your video, I did the job myself! No swearing, no issues… just amazement at how something that produces clean dishes can be so absolutely disgusting inside!

I am a appliance tech....this is better instructions than i get from GE.
Good job

You, sir, are a god among men. Following your video, I exposed and eradicated the horrors hidden within my 12 year old GE Profile dishwasher. Now it's doing its job and cleaning like a champ again. Thank you!

This is in the top 3 of instructional DIY videos I've ever seen. This guy took the time to go through every step and explain in detail how parts that were being stubborn to come out should be removed. Thank you for spending the time to create this video I'm sure it was time consuming but it will probably help millions.

While hearing the angels of heaven singing..HALLELUJAH!!& I took the whole inside of the dishwasher apart and did the total cleaning of the inside of dishwasher!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You perfectly explained everything step by step❤

After reading other comments you should seriously consider taking this video and comments to manufacturers for product maintenance. You have a real talent here. This would be a win/ win for manufacturers who could provide simple (not this one, perhaps how to remove pump filter only) maintenance for their products. Customer wins knowing there is instructional video for product routine maintenance, manufacturer wins with increased sales. Videos like this would be great sales tool demonstrating customer support. Thanks again.

Wow, rock-solid video and accompanying instructions. This guy is clearly an asset to YouTube troubleshooters everywhere!

[celeneglennie]

I spent weeks searching online for a solution to clean my old GE dishwasher, but yours is by far the most helpful guide I've found. Your instructions are clear, thorough, and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

[ninjaflick]

Thank you for making this video. It was thorough and clear, and made my first time cleaning out our dishwasher MUCH easier than it otherwise would have been. I would have definitely damaged the filter/screen if you hadn't specifically pointed out the poor design.

here almost 10 years later, minor differences in the dishwasher but this video worked like a charm, fabulous. Thank you

[dalehenkelman]

What a GREAT GREAT video - well done sir!!!! We've had our GE Profile dishwasher for 10 years and never cleaned it and had the same issues as you trying to find help to maintain it. Great step by step instructions and your calm voice is a plus! Thank you for putting this together and doing it so well!

I am mechanically inept and poor... thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was able to clean my dishwasher that was leaving everything dirty and had the worst smell the last couple days. I found black petrified broccoli and loads of white thick goo among other grossness... and now it is clean, smells great, and is doing amazing. You are a godsend!!!
