    I just bought an older home with an older, but good dishwasher. It looked clean but when I started scrubbing inside where the door butts up against the inside, there was a ton of disgusting filth that came out. I still haven’t been able to get it all out. I’m beginning to think I’m going to have to replace a functioning dishwasher because I can’t get all the filth out.

I put everything back the way it was after but it had so much mold underneath that filter 🤧🤮 I couldn’t get it all out, found out quickly it doesn’t drain in the bottom unless the dishwasher is on, assuming the pump does that. Made me feel a lot better seeing someone else do it

    Great tips bud, but if using white vinegar to clean the insides of the dishwasher dont chuck it in the bottom as some dishwashers like mine run a quick drain cycle before the clean and the vinegar will be drained, so like say put in a cup on bottom rack, the baking soda or soda crystals in the base of machine is fine I have found.

    Good job. One thing though. My GE Portable Dishwasher manual states, standing water after wash is supposed to be there for design reason. Please double check with manufacturers or the manuals. Dishwasher like GE Portable, is designed to keep a little bit of remaining standing water after wash and dry is all done. Don't repair that is not out of order, please. And, don't feel bad, nobody is perfect, and you may be correct on some brands. Just team efforting.

    Another tip I'll add is you really shouldn't be putting your dishes in there with food all over them. No detergent can prevent the dishwasher filters from clogging up and then you're essentially washing your dishes in water full of rotting food, just think about that every time you load the dishwasher without bothering to rinse anything.

    Video yourself taking apart your machine so you can play it back if you get confused! Most newer machines have a black rubber gasket around the whole door and the bottom part where the door is hinged to meet the machine gets DISGUSTING so please remember to clean the build up each time. It is a little more difficult to get to but definitely the grungiest part! And I never find a need to soak my screen or filter. Just immediately scrub them with dishsoap and a toothbrush because all that scum is soft already! 🤢

    Stupid/lazy people shouldn't own dishwashers, or at the very least not until they learn to soak and/or rinse their dishes first before putting them in the dishwasher. As he said, I'm sure the leading causes of dishwashers smelling like an animal died inside is attributed to: - Treating your dishwasher like a garbage disposal. - Not rinsing off excess food from silverware, pots, pans, etc. before loading it into dishwasher
