Thanks! I left my dishwasher open during the dry cycle, so it remained hot and moist and in 12 hours...I had a nightmare on my hands. Thanks for keeping it simple. It smells much better now!

I've probably watched a dozen of these videos, and this is the first time I've seen that the screen on bottom actually comes out!

Had to give you a thumbs up for the vent cleaning alone. I never knew I could remove ot and clean it. Thanks!

The state of that filter is the result of the consistent use of eco or short cycles. To avoid the inside of a dishwasher from getting this dirty it is best to use the hottest and longest cycle available and do so frequently. Eco and short cycles do not use enough water and water that is hot enough to properly clean the dishes and the insides of the machine. Before appliances went 'eco' there was never any need to run cleaning cycles on dishwashers and washing machines, they kept themselves clean and they did their job in less than half the time.

I'm grossed out now! 😂 I have never taken my dishwasher apart like this and didn't know I could. I'm checking it out soon, thank you!

A guy I knew used to install dishwashers and take the old ones out, which often had nothing wrong with them. Clean them and sell them.

Great walkthrough and what’s even better is I have a very similar washer!! 😊

[thesameinitials]

Man, such a perfect video, tons of great info delivered clearly and succintly, thank you for putting this together.

[Laura-zsys]

I knew about the filter but didnt know the vent also came right off for cleaning & came here to find out how. thank you!!!

Perfect job! A lot of people think you can just wipe the interior down and the door seals and clean the filter and then it’s good to go. No, the cleaning cycles are extremely necessary. The machine can sanitize itself by not only whatever cleaner you prefer but the heat of the water by ensuring you select options to cycles like HI TEMP and or SANI to properly sanitize the dishwasher. Since there’s no dishes the full force of the wash arms can focus on the interior while the cleaner in the water cleans the sump and pump module as it runs ensuring a fully cleaned and rinsed result.

I cleaned out the dishwasher in the apartment I moved into and it was the same model as yours. When I removed the filter and the screen there was a very thick deposit of a blue pasty putty like substance. Which I guessed was probably soap scum built up from years of not being cleaned in combination with the hard water we have in my city. The screen was completely clogged with the blue stuff and I had to scrub it with a long bristled brush to open up the holes. Mine didn't have any mold or mildew in it though.
