Oh my gosh, we spent all day trying to figure out what the problem was then searching and budgeting to afford a new machine turns out the food trap wasn't locked in properly and that's what stopped the machine from washing.. all good now THANK YOU!!!
Fantastic! I started cleaning the washer arms and I got a LOT of stuff out of them. Tomato seeds, grape stems, plastic wrap, you name it. SO helpful. Thank you.
Sir you just won the most informative video of dishwashing even though Wayne is up there from Sears!! Thank you so much seriously. I just sipped to my coffee with the etching.
Thank you for your tutorial! Explaining the "why" and "how" is so valuable. This is a video that every dishwasher owner should watch and I have bookmarked it as a reference for others. Well done.
Blake, that was a fantastic use of my time to learn so much about my dishwasher that has been sitting for many years with standard use- but NO cleaning. I appreciate your training.
EXCELLENT video!! We've been having issues with the cleanliness of our dishes. Your video helped solve the issues and gave me a great education on dishwasher operation!! Well done, sir!! Thank you for this!!
Thanks for making such a great informative and well edited video about dishwashers!! Definitely one of the best “home improvement “ type videos I’ve seen! Great job!
I’m very impressed! Everything made made sense, especially the fact that newer machines use less water and are thrown off by dishes that retain water. WHO KNEW?!? And, adding a dirty dish with the AUTO setting, confusing the sensor……brilliant engineering but open to problems. Many Thanks!
Wow! Turns out my filter hasn't been attached properly for years and I had no idea. I've tried more salt, more rinse aid, different cycles. You taught me to double check my filter. I didn't know about screwing it firmly back into place after cleaning it. So I did that today. Unfortunately, all the repeated washing meant my glasses are now etched, but at least I now understand what it is, and why it happens. Here's hoping for better results next time. Thank you very much!
This is a VERY informative video. Thank you so much for breaking this down! I learned so much from this! Great video angles, lighting and instruction from this gentleman. As a courtesy, your slide explaining phosphates has a typo in it. In addition, including the equivalent volume of water in liters might be helpful to our friends who use the metric system. It is: 11.35-30.28 Liters Excellent Job!
This is brilliant! We should have to watch videos like these before we’re allowed to install a new dishwasher. We just installed a Cove/Sub Zero dishwasher and already dishes weren’t clean. I think they will be now!
Wow I can’t tell you how helpful this was. This addressed every issue I was having with my new dishwasher. I wish I had just kept the old one, but this information will make life much easier.
11-30-2023 Thanks Blake, awesome video . I'll be sharing this content with all my loved ones. These tips will definitely save many headaches and a bunch of cash.
This is an excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much. Took seconds to fix the rinse issue on my dishwasher. Certainly beats spending hundreds of dollars to call in a plumber. Many thanks indeed for this video.
I have a £189 dishwasher which i only use on 30 minute wash. Rinse food of plates and never use rinse aid or heated drying. When the fast 30 minute cycle is finished, i remove all pots, pans, cutlery basket and plastics leaving them out to dry overnight. We have two full sets of plates etc so no panic to have it dry quickly for reuse. Clean the filters once a month by dumping them in boiling water and bleach then give them a good scrub. Almost three years old and hasn't let me down yet.
Thank you! Really good video! I did a deep cleaning of my dishwasher and went from mediocre to great (like when new) by removing the drain to the vent and the drain to the disposal. This was disgustingly clogged (I gaged twice!) Now it cleans like a champ. Thanks again!
Wow , in such detail and with such great examples....Now I am going to check these out on my dishwasher and even after that if it doesn't clean , I won't be disappointed. I am just glad that I saw this video :)
Thanks for the information. You very well explain several mechanical properties of dishwashers. Many of us are concerned about health and environmental impacts of the cleaning compounds used in dishwasher detergents these days. Do you care to comment?
Great explanation! Thank you. Can you please help with another issue? Our new dishwasher cleans ok, but in the end , we still found some small particles of detergent or food as specifically in the cups.
Additional tips... some older dishwashers have no filter. They may have a built in disposal. My Whirlpool Imperial (2004 date) has a filter inside the door, which is apparently a vent filter that needs to be checked occasionally. If there is no water in the bottom of your dishwasher after it has finished washing, then your dishwasher is draining properly. Check the bottom of the dishwasher to make sure it's clear of old food and items that may have dropped into the bottom. Make sure the spray arms rotate freely. Very important, using the excellent Whirlpool Imperial (an older model from about 20 years ago) as an example, if you have a door that dispenses the dishwasher soap, check to see if that door is open when the entire cleaning cycle is finished. If it has not opened, and there is still soap inside that compartment, that means no soap is being dispensed on the second cycle of your wash. Generally you should have a compartment with no door, filled with soap for the first wash, and a compartment with a door and a latch that opens when the second cycle of wash begins. Both compartments need to be filled with soap before the first wash cycle begins. If you see that the door on the compartment has not opened, you can by pass that problem by doing the following. When the first cycle of your wash has finished, the machine will pump out the water and refill, then the second wash cycle begins. Shortly after that second cycle begins, you can open the door, refill the compartment with no door with soap, and close the door. Now you will have soap to do it's job in cleaning the second cycle of your wash. On the Whirlpool Imperial, approximately 20 minutes is the amount of time you have from the initial start to when the second wash cycle begins. Either watch the clock or set a timer so you can add soap in 20 minutes. Sometimes that door may not open because you have loaded something against the soap compartment door. Other common cleaning problems are due to improper positioning of items in the washer. Load your dishes so water from the spray arms can spray on the surface of items you want washed. I'm not a fan of the newer dishwashers, using less water, and having controls hidden at the top of the door so you have to open the door to see what the settings are. Whirlpool still offers models with face mounted controls, see whirlpool's website. The only problem I've had with the Whirlpool Imperial, manufactured 2004, was a temperature sensor. I removed the inner door panel and bypassed that sensor. The machine has worked fine for years without that sensor. I did have to clean the vent filter inside the door once. This machine sold at Brandsmart for 300 dollars, and has cleaned far better than the Kitchen Aid dishwasher I had previously, which cost over 500 dollars.
I quit using Whirlpool. I just finished placing my five year old Whirlpool dishwasher on the curb after 3+ repairs (both boards and water leaks). Repairs are high between year 2 and year 5. I am now using LG until Whirlpool (also sold under multiple names like kitchen-aide) fixes their reliability problems so that their dishwashers provide higher reliability between years 2 and 5. As with most newer appliances, the kitchen appliance industry is struggling with circuit board designs and are still learning how to make circuit boards that are water proof and last 10 years (durable goods requirement) without failures resulting from aging components like capacitors. Of course, the appliance industry redefined durable goods as 10 years of reliability on a few mechanical parts only. In reality, durable goods applies to the entire unit. Like cars, loss of market share will sooner or later result in an effort to remedy the reliability issues. First, they need to hire engineers that now how to specify the electronic components properly (i.e. military grade) source control specifications.
I’m sorry to hear that you have had such a bad time. I’ve had my whirlpool since 2005. But LG refrigerator’s I’ve had 5 of them and Samsung 3 of one type and and 3 of another. I think it is like a car made on a Monday or a Friday 😅😮. They don’t want us to keep appliances 4 ever they want us to throw them out and get new. Not like our parents who still have there 1st appliance ‘s.
I shared this with several people after finding that my filter was beyond GROSS! Had to soak the parts in bleach and scrub them with a brush and COMET cleanser, then run an empty cycle. We have very HARD mountain water and I have added the LemonShine to at least one load/week.
After my recent rigmarole with my Samsung (It does not have a removable filter; I have to get in there with a screwdriver and take it apart to get gunk), I've decided dishwashers are so high maintenance (this video proves that) that I am tempted that when my machine finally dies, I will just go back to hand washing. By the time I rinse by hand I may as well finish washing. Appliances should make our lives easier, not be more complicated than the task it replaces.
@@debbier9270 Since I wrote the comment, I discovered that vertical waterline (plastic pipe) to the upper spray arms was the problem. It kept popping out, causing uncleaned dishes and flooding in its bottom. I popped it back in and secured it with a zip tie. It works like newish now. For years I couldn’t figure it out. I took it apart 3 or 4 times.
@@GerarddeSouza-yt3fc I got an engineer out, he spent 2 hours testing everything. It turns out that it has been completing the wash but only with cold water. Who knows what germs were left on the crockery and cutlery! He didn’t fix it but I learnt a lot about dishwashers in the process. You might think an error code would have been nice. The control board needs replacing but the 30min wash does use hot water and is sufficient. We have been using the intensive wash program (147 minutes!) for years and it’s worn out the board somehow. So it’s limping along for maybe a few years until it goes to the tip, not to be replaced. Not happy about great big metal boxes going into landfill After a service life of 10 years.
The fine filter is a stupid design idea. Saving a few gallons of water is stupid when it causes so many issues. Whatever happens to appliances that just worked with needing monthly service. Great video though and thanks! It’s not the first time I’ve heard of lemon shine.
SO helpful! Thank you! One of my glasses smelled so I checked the filter. It was pretty clean but where it goes at the bottom of the machine, I noticed there was pooled water (always is) and food particles floating. Any ideas?
Great tips. I have hard water (16 grains per gal) and have gone through two circulation pumps on my Bosch dishwasher. Is there something I can do to keep the pump from failing?
Aside from using dishwasher detergent that is designed for hard water, doing regular cleanings with hard water cleaners (like the lemi shine), and regular maintenance of your filter, unfortunately, hard water just is harder on everything and you're going to find yourself replacing things more often. It may be worth considering installing a water-softening system if that's something that you have the ability to. I know not everyone has the luxury of installing softeners though.
Good video, thnx! I alway use quick wash with the lowest energy consumption (you can look that up in the manual), I don't use rinse agent, I only buy glass or ceramic plates, glasses. The few plastic things I have I pull out and place on the kitchen desk for drying. As said here rinse agent doesn't work with plastic as well. Save money!
Thank you for the information. I run the dishwasher only when it is full, about once (or occasionally twice) a week. I do rinse off all debris before loading, reason, fear of dry food on the dishes may not come off totally. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
Really needed this video! Just moved into our new condo. Only three of us, including child, so we hand wash. Shocked and horrified to see water leaking out of Gallery dishwasher. Opened it up and it was full of standing water! I bailed water out then took apart the glass trap, sprayer arm and that disk filter. More dirty water down there but am not going any further. Standing water removed, items appear back in their proper places. Wondering if I need to have drainage cleared out of pipes?
Do you have a food disposer in your sink? It is attached to the dishwasher and the disposer may need repaired or replaced as water is backing up into the dishwasher you don't use.
Have you ever come across a rinse aid that never indicated that it was empty on an LG brand? There is a film at the bottom of my dishwasher after every load and the top rack doesn't get clean. I feel like the smell is the rinse aid that didn't go away or wasn't properly dispensed. I just go this machine in March!
@@BoulevardHome hi all, my reasoning was thst fishwashers need detergent do why extra cleajing? I didnt realize it is hard water buildup! Good luck to all!
Hi, I purchased a dishwasher last month. I has few doubts which I suppose your vdo has cleared, thank you for that. One more thing, why are the vessels little smelly after wash, I mean they have food odour...can you please help me?
Just wondering for 2:00, we actually bought that kind of design and it's actually horrible because the holes are so large that things pass by it (unlike the cylinder filters you normally see) so just wondering if there is nothing in the filter do we have to actually take out the motor
I'm so sad that I don't have a removable filter... Samsung DW80F800 series. When it stops cleaning well, I have to unscrew about 20 screws to get access to a wide circular mesh that I can then lift out and clean. Of course, none of that is mentioned in the manual... call the technician is the answer for anything more than a clogged nozzle. Have you come across these units before?
Hi Boulevard Home, Currently, my dishwasher Blanco BFDWC65X has got a problem, that is... after complete a washing cycle that water inside was gradually built up and become overflow out !! I wonder whether you have been through this issue before ?? How to fix it ?? Is there anything to do with the float underneath the machine ?? Note: The machine functions fine except that issue. Love to hear your opinion - Thanks
How do I fully pump out my portable dishwasher? I don't use it every week & when I do need to use it, there is water left in the bottom that I really do't wanna use as it's been sitting for a while, creating bacteria & other things I don't wanna spray on the next load. I believe that the hoses attached to the faucet in the sink allow the water to not be fully pumped out, so it sits, gathering bacteria & possibly mold. I know I can run a cycle to get fresh water into the machine, but would rather not waste the water to do that. Is there a way I can fully pump out the dishwasher of water after I use it so it doesn't sit? Thanks in advance!!
Cascade platinum has rinse aid built in. The dishwasher has a compartment for rinse aid. So, is this redundant? Can I eliminate the rinse aid in the dishwasher? What about the cascade without rinse aid? Whirlpool representative recommended gel pods, although the instruction booklet doesn’t state that. I’ll try the lemi shine. My dishwasher was bought three months ago, and not cleaning, which is why I’m watching this video.
These are things I have practiced for years. Now that I own a portable dishwasher, I use sodium precarbinate, citric acid and scented vinegar to clean once a month. For detergent I use 7th Generation because it is natural, Lemi Shine rinse aid because that is natural as well. I never use a heated dry.
@@CarolC32 To save energy, as it is not needed. My stupid sister in law used heated dry and caused plastics to melt in the dishwasher. Another reason why I refuse to use heated dry, the element is exposed.
Thanks for this! I need a recommendation: Which dishwasher would you buy for good quality, high power cleaning & easy access of the filter. I don’t need wifi accessibility.
I have a bosch that has never cleaned very well. I have been through a couple dozen videos and cleaned the filter and the arms but nothing has helped. I am going to try to manually fill the water to see if that helps with pressurization of the water.
For gods sake. We have a one year old Bosch, and the dishes and glasses were coming out gunky. I cleaned the drain hoses, but they seemed fine. Still gunky. The first this guy shows is what happens when the filter isn’t locked. It wasn’t locked. The outside surface of that cylindrical filter was all gunked up. Inside was clean. I think that was it.
After I remove the filter, should there be water under it? Not in the bottom of my tub but under the filter which is hard to see but I can feel the water.
My melamine plates are getting some dry water splash marks..could be soap but cant differentiate weather soap or water stain as the plates are white in colour..it can be seen only in melmaine plate..sometimes its too much and can see all the zig zag lines...my water is soft ,i dont use too much detergent.theres enough room for the water to reach plates..rinse aid just got over and it made no diference😒...please help..im getting annoyed and frustrated..
Extremely clear. Thank you. I know the background music is very quiet but it is entirely unnecessary. It is an amateur effect on a professional presentation.
I took my filter out it's not loaded with Gunk but the screen looks dirty. Also my dishwasher is extremely quiet on certain Cycles I wonder if it's even working at all. Now I have to poke toothpicks in it.

I feel like bro used to be a dishwasher in his previous life. What a knowledgeable human.
Oh my gosh, we spent all day trying to figure out what the problem was then searching and budgeting to afford a new machine turns out the food trap wasn't locked in properly and that's what stopped the machine from washing.. all good now THANK YOU!!!
Yup me too, just bought a new dishwasher because we thought the old didn't wash, turns out the filter tray wasn't locked in place. Jeeez
Lordy, I did the same thing…🤦♀️
We spent over 2 days

This was probably the best dishwasher issue video I have come a crossed. So informative and well thought.
Thanks! Be sure to let us know what else you'd like to see from us!

I feel like the smell is the rinse aid that didn't go away or wasn't properly dispensed. I just go this machine in March!
I hadn't locked my filter into place - thanks for the tips
I just discovered the same. Fingers crossed that this is the problem. I’m also going to get Lemi shone..
@@dale3404 Hi, mine is all good now, and the smell inside the d/washer has also disappeared. good luck
Excellent explanations!
Great video the filter needed cleaning forgot about it!! Thank you so much!❤
Glad to hear you got it figured out, thanks for watching!
@@BoulevardHome hi all, my reasoning was thst fishwashers need detergent do why extra cleajing? I didnt realize it is hard water buildup! Good luck to all!
Hi, I purchased a dishwasher last month. I has few doubts which I suppose your vdo has cleared, thank you for that. One more thing, why are the vessels little smelly after wash, I mean they have food odour...can you please help me?
Great video! Thanks for the info.
Learned so much - thanks!
Well done sir! Great video
Thanz for the video my dishwasher been messing up about to buy a new one checked the filter it wasnt in all the way
Glad to hear you were able to find the problem! Thanks for watching!
Really helpful video! Thank you very much! 😊
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Just wondering for 2:00, we actually bought that kind of design and it's actually horrible because the holes are so large that things pass by it (unlike the cylinder filters you normally see) so just wondering if there is nothing in the filter do we have to actually take out the motor
Excellent help! Thanks so much! Great job!!!
I'm so sad that I don't have a removable filter... Samsung DW80F800 series. When it stops cleaning well, I have to unscrew about 20 screws to get access to a wide circular mesh that I can then lift out and clean. Of course, none of that is mentioned in the manual... call the technician is the answer for anything more than a clogged nozzle. Have you come across these units before?
Thanks so insightful rinse agent is my last try
This was soo very helpful to me!!
Hi Boulevard Home,
Currently, my dishwasher Blanco BFDWC65X has got a problem, that is... after complete a washing cycle that water inside was gradually built up and become overflow out !!
I wonder whether you have been through this issue before ?? How to fix it ??
Is there anything to do with the float underneath the machine ??
Note: The machine functions fine except that issue.
Love to hear your opinion - Thanks
How do I fully pump out my portable dishwasher? I don't use it every week & when I do need to use it, there is water left in the bottom that I really do't wanna use as it's been sitting for a while, creating bacteria & other things I don't wanna spray on the next load. I believe that the hoses attached to the faucet in the sink allow the water to not be fully pumped out, so it sits, gathering bacteria & possibly mold. I know I can run a cycle to get fresh water into the machine, but would rather not waste the water to do that. Is there a way I can fully pump out the dishwasher of water after I use it so it doesn't sit? Thanks in advance!!
Cascade platinum has rinse aid built in. The dishwasher has a compartment for rinse aid. So, is this redundant? Can I eliminate the rinse aid in the dishwasher? What about the cascade without rinse aid? Whirlpool representative recommended gel pods, although the instruction booklet doesn’t state that. I’ll try the lemi shine. My dishwasher was bought three months ago, and not cleaning, which is why I’m watching this video.
This is too new to not be cleaning. I'd guess the dishes are stacked in a way that interferes with the spray arms rotating.
Excellent presentation!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
What a great video! I wish you had a branch in my location. Thanks!
These are things I have practiced for years. Now that I own a portable dishwasher, I use sodium precarbinate, citric acid and scented vinegar to clean once a month.
For detergent I use 7th Generation because it is natural, Lemi Shine rinse aid because that is natural as well. I never use a heated dry.
Why don't you use the heated dry?
@@CarolC32 To save energy, as it is not needed.
My stupid sister in law used heated dry and caused plastics to melt in the dishwasher. Another reason why I refuse to use heated dry, the element is exposed.
Excellent and very clear video. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much !!! I knew none of this!!!!
Excellent video
Any suggestions with water softener.
Lemi Shine has dish washing tablets too and they are the only ones I can use.
We're big fans of Lemi Shine ourselves!
Super great info thanks so let go see what works⁉️❤
Really helpful video, great tips. Any advice if you don't have a disposal and the water in your filter is always dirty?
We will reach out to our service tech and see if they have any suggestions.
So informative. Thank you. ❤ 13:01 13:01
Thanks for this! I need a recommendation: Which dishwasher would you buy for good quality, high power cleaning & easy access of the filter. I don’t need wifi accessibility.
Bosch is the king of dishwashers right now. You can't go wrong with one of those!
I have a bosch that has never cleaned very well. I have been through a couple dozen videos and cleaned the filter and the arms but nothing has helped. I am going to try to manually fill the water to see if that helps with pressurization of the water.
Right on! Thanks for explanation
Awesome video, thank you so much
My pleasure!
very helpful, thank you
For gods sake. We have a one year old Bosch, and the dishes and glasses were coming out gunky. I cleaned the drain hoses, but they seemed fine. Still gunky. The first this guy shows is what happens when the filter isn’t locked. It wasn’t locked. The outside surface of that cylindrical filter was all gunked up. Inside was clean. I think that was it.
Very informative video thank you.
Thank you so much. Reallt informative
I just resolved my issue. Thanks for your video
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching
After I remove the filter, should there be water under it? Not in the bottom of my tub but under the filter which is hard to see but I can feel the water.
Very informative video ! It was well done. Thank you ! :)
Heard my Dad playing this video, and the music got to me. Where can I find it?
My melamine plates are getting some dry water splash marks..could be soap but cant differentiate weather soap or water stain as the plates are white in colour..it can be seen only in melmaine plate..sometimes its too much and can see all the zig zag lines...my water is soft ,i dont use too much detergent.theres enough room for the water to reach plates..rinse aid just got over and it made no diference😒...please help..im getting annoyed and frustrated..
Excellent video.
Extremely clear. Thank you. I know the background music is very quiet but it is entirely unnecessary. It is an amateur effect on a professional presentation.
I took my filter out it's not loaded with Gunk but the screen looks dirty. Also my dishwasher is extremely quiet on certain Cycles I wonder if it's even working at all. Now I have to poke toothpicks in it.
