Just what I needed. There are many videos on RUclips about cleaning a dishwasher. Many claim all dishwashers are pretty much the same. But none of the videos could coach me through the Maytag Quiet Series until I found this one. Think about putting the "Maytag Quiet Series" in the title!
Even after 6 years - this video just walked me through step by step the very same dishwasher as in the video. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions!!
You're welcome! Glad to help
@@TomahawkDIY do you have any suggestions for what to do about the baskets rusting out. Or a place to buy new ones.
This is the video to watch for this repair. All other videos I saw only removed the covers and filters on the floor of the washer. Removing the top tray and the tube at the rear of the washer, made removing everything else a breeze. No struggling, jiggling, or awkward removing of components. Thank you so much. You turned a pounding headache into just a tiny little pain.
I have a Maytag MDB89100 dishwasher installed in 2000 (20 years ago!) that has been a reliable performer. Recently, however, the dishes were left with a number of light oily/greasy spots.
Thanks to youTube and your video, I was able to disassemble, clean 20 years-worth of gunk out of the filters, and reassemble the dishwasher. My process was slightly different than yours:
1. The spray arm does not disassemble for cleaning (the clip-on metal parts are heat deflectors for the heating coil)
2. Fortunately, my DW doesn't have an exposed column to bring water to the top sprayer (supply routed external to the tub), so I didn't have to futz with that. That said, for those who do, it might be helpful to reinstall the upper spray water colum prior to screwing down the lower part, for easier assembly.
3. While your model appears to have only one filter screen; mine has four. One of them is a vertical cylindrical screen (think auto air-filter shape). The top and bottom differ slightly, with the bottom resting on a gasket while the bottom slips over the lower assembly. The orientation is not marked, so make a note when removing.
Some additional thoughts:
1. Toothbrush and nail scrubbers are helpful cleaning tools
2. Take pictures as you disassemble; helps in putting it back together
3. Keep screws, bolts with associated pieces. If possible, stack in reverse order to speed reinstall time and eliminate second-guessing
4. Pay attention to how tight the screws are when removed, so you don't over (or under) torque. keep with assembly holes as noted in 3, above, so they don't get lost or misused.
I did it! I did it! Great instructions! It's much easier than I thought it would be, thanks to this video. I just finished taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together and now I'm letting it run through to wash out any of the cleaning products I used before I put dishes in. So glad to not have to pay a repair bill or buy a new machine. And I learned something new... so I'm quite proud of myself. Thank you! Subbing now!
Cool. I have a different model but have to clean the screen assembly. The washer is smelly and I'm figuring on it needing a good cleaning. I never did it before and it's 20 years old.
I also did it today! Thanks for such a helpful guide
This video was a lifesaver for my family. I had run out of options. It took me 2 hours and I shudder when think about what came out but I am so happy my dishes will be cleaned properly now
Thanks so much for this video! Our dishwasher was making the most horrific grinding noises and this cleaning procedure solved the problem. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial! I took apart the dishwasher yesterday and got it back together! Our dishwasher is over 10 years old, so while cleaning it out helped a great deal, it didn't solve all the problems - but it was a relief to find such complete and well lit directions!
Thank You!! This was exactly what I needed to see how to get to my filter to clean it. I have been struggling how to remove the piece on the back and top of my dishwasher without tearing it up. Now I know how. Thank you!
I did it! I've been asking my hubby for 2 months to fix it but he is too busy! Thanks for guiding me through the process!!
Not to busy they just don’t want to do it 😂 😡
Ain't nowhere near busy enough for 2 months he just doesn't care. Find a real one, my old lady doesn't do dishes,trash, groceries, oil changes. All of it is me. If we wanted to do it we would.
My Maytag dishwasher was leaving stuff all over my dishes and I couldn't figure out why until I found your instruction on the filter to my model.. I am 67 ys. young and was able to do it myself because of how complete your instructions are. THANK YOU!
Awesome, detailed, clear. Really liked that putting it back together was also included! All done!
Perfect video! Our dishwasher was filthy and didn't know it or how to take apart and clean. Runs/cleans better than new. Repairman would have said ditch and get new, I'm certain. Thanks so much.

I am in the middle of doing this. We got a used machine, and had never cleaned it. This helped so much, because I had no idea how to tackle this deep cleaning. There was so much gunk in the parts! Thank you so much for making this video, and for the easy to follow directions!
Thank you SO MUCH for your step-by-step, in detail, instructions. I'm a 63 year old retired elementary teacher and I was hesitant to tackle this job but it went GREAT! Thank you for your time as well. :-) 10/01/17

Barbara Gillis did you have to shut off the power to the dishwasher before tackling this project?
Thank you so much! This is exactly the same inside as our Jenn Air! My husband and I worked on it together, can’t believe how easy and it worked perfectly! Definitely couldn’t of done it without your video.
Hi! I’m trying to clean my Jenn Air and I’m having trouble loosening that black wheel with the screw in the center. Did you have any trouble with yours? The star screw that worked on everything else isn’t fitting with that middle screw, of course :)
@@camillepress8484 This is old.. but if you have issues with that.. pour some white vinegar in the hole of the screw.. it will remove the gunk and let you pull it out easily.
@@camillepress8484 If you have trouble with the screw... hold the black wheel and then unscrew it. If not it just keeps moving.
Thank you so much! My dishes were coming out so dirty the last two loads. Your step by step made it so easy to take this apart and clean it all out. Can’t wait to run my first load of dishes to prove we still have life in this dishwasher and don’t need to drop big bucks on a new one just yet!! 🙂
Did it make a big difference? Mines is doing the same thing. I just took it apart it and cleaned it too
Excellent, helpful RUclips. Very well narrated, very detailed step-by-step instructions, made it a snap to go in, clean my dishwasher, and get out with it still working. Thanks!
Oh man... I made the mistake of trying to wash the drawer (?) of my air fryer in the dishwasher, and now my whole dishwasher is gunked up with oily black stuff. I need to do this..... Wish me luck!
EDIT: I did it! That wasn't too bad! Thanks so much for the step-by-step video!
Terrific video! Thank you for saving me the cost and wait of a service call. It went exactly as you explained.
This was so helpful!! My machine is so old and gunked up that it took me 3 hours to do everything in your 8 minute video. Lots of vinegar soaking involved thanks to our very hard Tucson water. Well worth it though. Thanks so much!!
This was the perfect video for me. The operation was a success doctor, thank you! Be safe everyone.
This was extremely helpful! Not that my dishwasher wasn’t working, it just could of been doing better. After pulling out something that looked like a q-tip covered in slime I followed this video faithfully! Thank you for making me feel confident I could do this! :)
This was the perfect video to help us - we are not overly handy and would NEVER have completed this on our own. The steps are spelled out well and it worked just as the video. Thank you!
Glad to help. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much! As a single mom I try to do as much as possible by myself to save money, this was just what I needed. I filled up the sink with hot water and added some vinegar, soaked the pieces in that to loosen up the calcium deposits.
Very well done tutorial! It was very easy to use to follow and fixed the issues of poor cleaning.
Fantastic step by step directions. Followed them and was amazed at how much gunk there was. Will put this on the calendar so it doesn't get that bad again.
This is a terrific video, I just finished cleaning my very dirty Maytag dishwasher, going through the vinegar, then baking soda cycles and I am looking forward to seeing the results. Thank you!
This was an invaluable resource, thank you so much for making this
So excited to find this video but I am stuck at 2:43 minutes trying to get the black circle off. I removed the screw but that circle is not budging. It rotates but won't come off. I've soaked it in CLR, thinking maybe it was stuck, tho I don't see a build up of hard water there. Any ideas, smthg else I can try???
Thanks for the great step-by-step instructions! It runs so much better now and my dishes are actually clean.
Thank you Tomahawk DYI. It took 2 hours but was well worth the effort. I wish I could post my before and after photos to convince anyone who skeptical that it is pretty easy and they should follow your instructionst.
By FAR, the best video on the subject. Viewed many others before this first. Many thanks!!
Great instructions, my son and I completed this cleaning/repair in under an hour!
Great video of Maytag dishwasher breakdown for cleaning. Very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

I can’t thank you enough for this video! It was easy to follow and I was able to repeat in my own machine. 🙏🏼
Thank you for your disassembly and reassembly instructions!
This was awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to make and post this video! 🙌
Thank you for the step-by-step directions! Now my dishwasher is clean!
Video was very helpful. It's the exact same set-up as a Jenn-air dishwasher which I was working on. Found a broken piece of glass in there which was causing my noise. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the great video. I have a Maytag QuietSeries 400 and followed this video step by step and got great results. My unit was 18 years old and never cleaned until today. My dishes are now being cleaned like the washer was new.
You're welcome!
Thank you for the very helpful video tutorial. Thanks to you, I was able to fix an issue we've been having with our dishwasher getting things clean, and it even runs quieter!
Thank you so much for your video! 20 yr old DW looks brand new! Only problem I had was the black spinny thing was adjusted to the motor so when I lifted it up, the whole motor lifted up so I had to align the motor back up. Other than that, no problems at all. You’re a lifesaver, DW saver too! Thanks again!
You're welcome! Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 Happy dishwashing! 🍽️🔧
Thanks for posting this. Looks just like my Jenn-air. I took one look at it and said nope. After watching your video it eased my concerns and the job was no problem.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You easily explained exactly what I needed to know! Incredibly helpful video!
Well done. Followed your instructions and it worked out fairly easy. Very clear instructions and much appreciated! Thanks!
What a great video. I cleaned my dishwasher as simply as you showed in the video. I watched the video until you had it apart, then I took mine apart and with the video, put it back together in stages with the video to guide me on each step. Wow! What a happy day this is.

Perfect video...While I don't have a maytag, the components were similar. Thank you for the instructional. It was very easy to follow and now I have a very clean dishwasher.
Thanks for the Video. Just finished the job thanks to your detailed video..It has been a lot of years and
certainly needed a good cleaning..Job done..Thanks again
I am so grateful that I finally found your video... I had been looking and wasting time trying to find someone who took the bottom parts all apart and put them back together and made it so easily to see and understand....I took mine apart and can't remember exactly how it all goes back together......Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Glad to help you
This was great. Exactly what we needed for our used dishwasher. Thank you!
Thank you. Honestly.
I don't know what I'd do without these videos.
Thank you for your kind words. Happy to help!
Thank you for a well produced video. Easy to follow along with your instructions.
This was wonderful !!!! I can not believe the gunk that was underneath all the parts. I also didnt know all those parts came off. Thank you so much for this. I was able to get it apart and put back together myself. Saved me alot of money. Great video
Thank you! Had a slightly different model but was able to get everything clean thanks to you.
Great video on the exact dishwasher I have! Thanks so much! I had someone do it today and I showed him exactly what to do.
Excellent video. Simple and clear, orderly instructions. Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. My dishwasher has not been cleaning my dishes well now for a couple of weeks. I knew it needed to be unclogged or cleaned somehow but didn't know how to do it. With your video I was able to take it apart and put it back together properly. You made it simple and it was pretty bad. Thanks again.
Thank you Tomahawk. Great job of explaining and demonstrating. In an hour I'll be taking care of this same issue for a friend!
Perfect video! You made me a success on a housecleaning job I was hired to do. Thank you.
Thank you so much, exactly what I needed. My dishwasher now looks and smells brand new!
Whew! Very good instructions. Just running a vinegar bath through the reassembled machine to remove some of the harder calcium carbonate deposits. What a bogus design for the Maytag filter!! After maybe 10 years of not cleaning the filters, the glasses were showing foggy spots. it took many hours and several brushes and plastic utensils to scrape the filter parts (sort of) clean. The consistency of the soft gunk inside was indescribable. None of my cleaning fluids made it easier. I've got another cleaning six months from now on my calendar.
I should mention that the thin round tube for the upper sprayer assembly was pretty clogged and required a skinny brush with a very long flexible twisted wire handle to bend around the right angle. I hope it will clean up in the vinegar cycle.
Thank you! I think you just saved me from buying a new dishwasher!!! Going to attempt this. Great video.
Thank you so much for the clear instructions! Successfully cleaned my dishwasher and was pretty impressed with myself lol!
Bless your heart for this, along with assembly instructions at the end! Tip for anyone else. The really small nut and screw fit in the soap dispenser so you won’t lose them during the process.
Thanks for the tip. Have a good day!
HUGE HELP having your video to walk me through this (disgusting) process.
Thank you!
Awesome DIY video, our filter had a lot of food debris. Followed the video and now clean as New. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! My first time trying to fix a home appliance and you made it easy! Thank God I had a star screw driver head on hand. I’ve never had a use for those extra heads. 😅
Both of my dishwashers have built-in food waste disposers, which grind up any bits that get into the dishwasher and flush them out the drain. But the best way to prevent buildup in the first place is to watch what you put in there in the first place. Needless to say, I've opened mine up before and cleaned them out as well, usually after glass breakage which is of course exceedingly rare.
Whatever stuff was left over in your dishwasher didn't look good. Amazing how dirty it can get, then we go and put our dishes in there thinking they'll get clean. The comedian Gallagher once said "Soup isn't even food. Soup is what's left over in the dishwasher after a good meal".
Either way, very nice tutorial on how to take apart the bottom strainer assembly.
Well done...7 years now and still helping folks out!
awesome vid, simple, informative, and thorough. I was ready to scrub the vid backwards to reassemble the dishwasher but you had that at the end ,too. thx so much for the tutorial!
Awesome video! Just did mine today but then afterwords I seen this video. I did it the exact same way. Glad to know I did it correctly!
Followed your directions & got my dishwasher cleaned!! Couldn't believe what I found in there! Thanks!

I could not have figured out the disassembly without this video: THANK YOU!
This was perfect and very doable. Thank you!
Thank you for your clear & visible instructions!
Thank you SO much I am visiting my Son and Daughter-in-law and just did this thanks to your help. I feel awesome to have done this myself!!!!! Old dogs do learn new tricks I'm 52!!
Very informative video, your Sequence of operation of dismantled & reassembled works.thank you. Willie D.
Now I know why the Maytag repair guy is so bored and never gets calls .... your video!!! Thanks, this worked for me 👍🏼
Thank you! Thinking of writing a novella called Journey to the Center of the Dishwasher: a Horror Story :-( Cole // Cole Smith Writes
That'd be a reading that us regular folk who try to do our own work and save money for retirements and rough times could really relate to!
@@librealbedrio367 ". . . save the money for retirements and rough times." Exactly!
This was an excellent video. Thank you for the putting back together portion as well 👍🏼‼️
Success! Thank you for the great instructions. Could not (and would not) have done without this video showing me how first. Thank you for doing it.
Thank you so very much! I didn’t have much hope that our poor cleaning very smelly dishwasher could be cleaned except by a repairman. This is absolutely doable! (As long as I keep all the screws together 😉). We have VERY hard water so really, I should have done this years ago when we moved in to the house. Thank you!!
Great video! Followed your instructions and cleaned my dishwasher! Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you for the clear and detailed instructions. I found one challenge that seems to be peculiar to Canada. All the screws required a torx screwdriver and 2 different sizes were required - #1 and #3. I guess appliance manufacturers want to make it as difficult as possible for us to fix things. Second, getting the dirt and gunk out from between the fin-like protrusions is a job for a small bottle brush. If you don't have one, pick one up before you start. It will save you hours.
This video was so very helpful to me in cleaning my old and disgusting dishwasher. I had no idea that you should clean the filter. The gunk in the bottom and in the components was so gross. Now it looks brand new! Thank you very much!
I'm so glad!
This worked great! My wife was convinced we had to buy a new dishwasher, but your step-by-step instructions made it easy to try cleaning our Maytag washer. The result? Sparkling success. Thanks Tomahawk DIY.
Great to hear!
I tried winging it myself without your video because I didn't think Maytag or any mfg.would produce a machine with so complicated a procedure to get to the filter but that being said... it's been running 10 years now without doing this, so I am not complaining.(Probably not cleaning well for half the time)
Going to try again with your video.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much. Not sure but just a guess you saved me about $100 at least. I love people like you, keep up the good work. Great video.

Great and to the point video, much appreciated and associated with what I might be dealing, I'll keep you posted! But excellent directions!
Thank you! This was super easy to follow instructions.
I have been afraid to try this but easy peasy thanks to your video! Much appreciated!
Excellent video. Thanks. It was easier than I thought it would be...just have to put everything back in the correct order. Cleaning the screen by soaking with Dawn helps get the grease out.
seriously saved my life. thanks for making me feel accomplished!
