If you pour a cup or 2 of vinegar in to the pump along with 2 cups of vinegar upright on the racks as shown in this video and let the dishwasher pump soak for an hour before starting the dishwasher it will remove the scale that builds up in the pump as well. The mineral deposits form a layer of scale on the pump impellers and other parts that you can't see. This scale is the cause of most dishwasher leaks, drain issues and poor cleaning results. I usually don't recommend having dishes in it, as vinegar can damage some dishes. You can't use too much vinegar and it can soak in the pump for hours, it won't hurt it. Just wanted to share to this already wonderful video.
Thanks for the comment Loretta, yes your plan for deep cleaning is good, a few highlights I agree with and additional options. yes, best not to do with dishes, I would add also do not use any dishwasher powder. If you ever clean a coffee pot with vinegar, use that hot vinegar to pour and soak as you suggested in dishwasher, after you start the cycle, which will drain first then fill, after the fill that is when I prefer to pour in more fresh vinegar in addition to a few upright cups. Thanks. pls consider subscribing to my channel, I have many how to videos in this playlist.I guess my video is more general upkeep. ruclips.net/p/PL1DljfWRzaxDI55VybHntmLjHE_er8j72
Lol funny u all notice the cup gone but obviously as he stated above he flipped the cup over and there is now a cup upside down on the bottom lol I'd do the same thing who wants a cup full of water still in there
@@kd_enterprise3404 Exactly what happened to us State Farm didn't believe me even though I had pictures of our house not just a lot with a coffee mug sitting on it with a driveway leading up to it.
You really need to do this with an empty dishwasher, so the jets can focus on scrubbing the interior walls and corners of the machine that buildup residue overtime. The most effective way to clean your dishwasher is this right here. Empty your dishwasher or do this right after you unload it, empty a lemonade mix packet or any flavor that contains citric acid into the detergent dispenser and fill it to the top, and fill the pre wash compartment with it as well. Close your dispenser, fill a few cups of vinegar and place them upright in the upper rack of the dishwasher, and let her rip. Set it on the longest and hottest cycle possible
Thanks, many good points… probably the only reason I had the dishes in was because they were all coated with deposits… otherwise yes.. empty would be fine!
@@kd_enterprise3404 I’ve heard citric acid works well for removing hard water deposits. I am going to try this because I have terrible city water that leaves white residue no matter what, my machine doesn’t dispense enough rinse agent during the final rinse to combat the untreated water. So I’m hoping this will work using it alongside my regular detergent in the main cup.
@@Goldenwoodz worth a try, do you have a water softener in your home? If not I’d recommend getting one, or make sure the one you have is working… thanks for the comment and good day!
@@kd_enterprise3404 No it’s an apartment complex and they certainly for sure don’t have softeners, it’s the most extreme hard water I’ve ever used and after showers your left feeling as dry as the Sahara desert it’s terrible water. Thanks you too!
@@Goldenwoodz oh that’s terrible, does your hot water come from a centralized location or does each apartment have a water heater? If your place has its own you could install a softener before the hot water heater… otherwise ya, not good…. When my softener failed I know exactly what you mean about the shower…. My water is safe to drink but if I make coffee I use distilled water… a gallon or 4 litres is 1 dollar.. I don’t buy cups of coffee and drinks from stores so I justify the expense…. I don’t think that water is good for you…
lol, good catch! I have identified 3 possibilities. 1.) I never put the cup in.. 2.) it disintegrated.. 3.) I did some poor video editing... lol.. Thanks for the comment. But yes it does work really well, especially for hard water deposits or that white film.. but do please use the cup method.
This is my first time enjoying your RUclips channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Can’t say for sure, only what comes to mind… if you are on a well system sometimes black water and dirt from the pipes break loose, the other thought would be an iron removal system, or carbon filter the was regenerating while you were washing dishes… perhaps someone else has an idea…
@K&D_Enterprise ever since learning your dishwasher hack, I met this gorgeous woman whom I married plus my dishes are always clean. Your hack works so well they put themselves in the dishwasher. Thanks!!
The cup is a nice idea. I'd think you would want to add the vinegar after the pre wash cycle so it has a longer time to act. And not with dishes that need to be cleaned. I have scale on the heater and even direct vinegar and scotch brite pad have little effect.
Thank you for the great comment, I agree if this about a really dirty scaled dishwasher, and understand the cycles it would be best to only use ONLY vinegar, no dishes, and as a matter of fact use 4 times more vinegar and preheat the vinegar in a kettle and put in directly in at the right time for the longest cycle. When I made this video the biggest issue was a white residue on the actual dishes due to the water being too hard or water softener not working the best or low on salt. So the purpose was a kinda general approach to clean the white haze off dishes that did not take much thought or hassle for the standard person.. good points.. thanks...
If it’s contained within the machine you should be fine… but I believe you would have conflict with acidity and alkaline detergent… for example chlorine and a strong acid would make a very bad gas.. 💀…. What I would do, add a few cups of vinegar first. Let it run through…. Listen and wait for it to drain and then add the soap…
I have to admit I was doing it wrong, the good thing is that I normally don't use the dishwasher im old fashion and hand wash but im tired of big pots so im going to start again, thanks for the video I need to get residue out of the dishwasher before i start using it again lol
Thanks for the video! Running hot water is unnecessary and ineffective if your dishwasher is connected to the cold water line as many (most?) are. The element heats the water rather than having the hot water come from the household hot water tank which then has to heat up new cold water.
Dishwashers are supposed to be connected to the hot water supply not the cold. The heating element is only supplemental and is supposed to raise the hot water to 140-160 degrees.
At least in the U.S. most dishwaters are installed on a hot water line but during the first 15 minutes or so for the pre wash the water will likely not actually be coming in hot and the heating element in the dishwater wont be in effect either which is why it is a good idea to run some hot water first, otherwise the pre wash is just using cold water.
If you use 1. dishwasher salt, 2. the anti-stain liquid (don't know the English term of it) 3. a ALL IN ONE TABLET 4. Use a washing cycle without prewashing or whatever you call it Then your dishwasher will be always clean. I mean clean like new.
Lol I just responded to a similar question, basically on the final rinse cycle I dumped the cup because it had a bunch of hard water deposits sitting in it… thanks for asking! I turned it over to clean it also so I did not have a cup of dirty water after…
Keiko Bushnell yes, for sure. When u start it the first cycle it will drain cycle even if empty... once it fills then dump in... .. great point for others...thanks for the comment..
DONT use vinegar. I used vinegar and then after a few washes, dishwasher refused to worked properly. On opening apart the dishwasher i found that magnetic induction motor’s seal wore out and it leaked the ferrofluid inside it. The ferrofluid got out and gunk got inside. On further research i found this is due to vinegar wearing out the seals. Best way is to buy the finish dishwasher cleaner. That thing is mild and especially made for this. Just use it once every once in a while, thats the best maintenance u can do to your dishwasher.
This might be regional, but I've never seen a dishwasher with a hot water intake, though I know they exist. If your DW is hooked up to only one cold water line, no need to warm up your hot water line by running the sink first.
toss about a 1/3 cup tang orange drink powder and run thru a cycle and the inside will look like new......we do it all the time at work at the apartments ..real time saver..
🌞🐒You are awesome I will pass on this detailed information and your video. It’s reassuring when someone takes the time to educate us in the “minor” things of our daily living.🌈
Hi k&d enterprise, thank you for answering my question. So I was thinking the liquid rinse served as a detergent for my dishwasher. This might explain why some did not clean well and why it did not fill up properly in the detergent dispenser thing.🤷🏽♀️ okay so I got that part . Now in this video your cup of vinegar cleaned not only the dishes but also the door so what about the stuff on bottom in the back of the dishwasher wich I just saw l had even after the vinegar. Am I supposed to take out the filters or do all dishwashers have filters?? Lots of questions hope you can help👌🤗
Most dishwashers do not have a filter, just the screen inside at bottom which is visible.. if the dishwasher drains all the water out when done all is good. On my dishwasher the door that opens has the two areas which you put the powder type detergent in. The round thing holds the rinse aid.. If your washer is still dirty,, DO THIS.. but you have to listen to the washer because I can't give a timing.. 1. DO NOT put dishes in. 2. Do not use any detergent. 3. Start the dishwasher, you will hear it fill, wash for perhaps 10 minutes then it actually will drain to put new water in, let it fill and listen for it to start washing again. Pre Heat or heat up about 4-8 cups of vinegar in a tea kettle, open the door during the wash cycle and pour it directly in. close door and walk away let it finish up. If you are unsure about timing, just wait about 25 minutes then pour in the kettle of pre heated vinegar....
Kara Kelley sure, add it mid cycle while the water is hot, as long as it gets 10 minutes in there, if you do it that way I’d just pour a few cups directly in.
lol, good catch! I have identified 3 possibilities. 1.) I never put the cup in.. 2.) it disintegrated.. 3.) I did some poor video editing... lol.. Thanks for the comment. But yes it does work really well, especially for hard water deposits or that white film.. but do please use the cup method.
Why is the mug that held the vinegar not in the bottom right corner( where you put it for cleaning) when you open it up for reveal? Hmmmmmmmm..but I do think vinegar works on an empty cycle ...followed by another empty cycle of 1 cup of baking soda.
There has been a lot of speculation and theory about this inconsistency. Check the comments of others for possibilities... Thanks for watching. Subscribe! I have many reviews and how to do's. Have a great day.
You might have noticed my cup disappeared, mine also had grit in it, that’s the buildup of hard water deposits… on the final rinse I dumped the cup out… so very normal and shows the process worked to some degree… thanks for watching….
What is the little round thing on the door of the dishwasher. I unscrewed it easily and it’s full of stuff. Can it be cleaned with a cleaner or is it a sensitive part that I need to do it manually.?
the little round thing holds the rinse aid.(that blue liquid stuff).. you should not have to clean that unless someone has put something in they should not have.
that is interesting, I have never had that issue. I hope someone can help, until then I'd check to see if its just gooopped up for a lack of better words.. open it up and spray vinegar on it and all around the assembly... let it soak and do it again a few times. spray the little lever also where you can manually open it.... I'll do some checking in the mean time.. let me know.. plus after you soak with vinegar do a quick cycle with the cover open....
Bad wax motor if you have a digital control panel, or if it’s fully mechanical from the timer then something could be wrong between the timer and the mechanism leading down to the dispenser.
yes, its just water.. all the vinegar has been replaced with water.. some people notice my cup is not in the washer when done.. that is because late in the final cycle i dump it out so it gets cleaned up.
Poltergeist! Nah, when it was near the end of cycle I dumped it out so the cup would be cleaned... thanks for watching, if your washer is really dirty, let it fill and run for a minute, then just directly pour two cups in the bottom, you could even pre heat vinegar in a kettle..... I did the cup thing because if you put the vinegar in at the start before the washer fills it actually does a drain cycle first = no vinegar... so ya,, let it fill, start washing, open, dump vinegar close and let it continue... thanks for watching...
For this specific dishwasher the filter is not hidden, it’s simply a mesh on the bottom right below the main washer bar.. it’s a big circle below.. no mystery, in full view.... you can just clean the debris off screen, or give it a lite scrub, it does not normally come out..
I'm very allergic to vinegar. Next suggestion? I'm not going to have my throat close just to get a clean dishwasher. I will handwash. Its cheaper than an ER visit.
That’s interesting, so you must be allergic to lemons, or all canned goods like tomato soup etc.. my best suggestion would be to get a whole home reverse osmosis water purification... it removes all the hard water deposits so these type of build ups on dishwashers, coffee, tea and kettles does not occur in the first place... prevention should be your goal... or have someone else clean your stuff and rinse well...
@@kd_enterprise3404 Thanks for your suggestion. Im not allergic to lemons or canned foods that don't include vinegar. I do however have to read every label on foods and know what I'm eating at all times. Its frustrating. Im also very allergic to cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. All are air borne allergies as well as consuming these. I miss yellow mustard soooo much. The only condiment I can eat is soy sauce.
You don't make clear how many times you run the dishwasher. Do you put in the vinegar and run the dishwasher and then follow the next two steps. CLR instructs to pour the CLR into the bottom of the dishwasher.
Well let me say this, if you monitor the process, if using vinegar or CLR. Don’t put it in right away, start your dishwasher and listen, it does a short rinse and drains after 10 minutes, just add after that a d walk away.. if you just pour it in then start a cycle, guess what, the first thing it does is drain your cleaner out and refill. The reason I use the cup.. most people don’t what I just told you and or don’t want to spend time listening to the dishwasher to understand.
If you set up the water softner that is inside every dishwasher you never gona have limescale there! And buy cascade platinum us detergent it even clean your filter!
What happened to the cup that was full of vinegar you set in the front right side face up when you started. It was no longer in the same spot when your cycle completed and you opened the door? Wooops me thinks!
lol, yes many have commented, my bad.. just a hiccup in my video editing.. plus near the end of the wash cycle I have a habit of dumping the cup so it gets a final cleaning so I can use that cup.. lol.. thanks for watching and please subscribe.. I do all kinds of videos...
@@YoMama9021 glass does NOT melt at that high of a Temperature. It melts at much lower dear. 1400 degrees Fahrenheit not Celsius. The temperature you're talking about would be 2500 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, remember Celsius is lower than Fahrenheit
I really did like the video but I just could not resist commenting about the missing cup. I just followed your instructions and the dishes and silverware came out great. I also read elsewhere that a product called Lemi Shine and citric acid work. I ordered the Lemi Shine package from Amazon and it should be here tomorrow. More later. Cheers
Mark Ferwerda lol, yes, many theory’s in the comments, aliens etc.. just my edit, half way through the compete wash I dumped the cup so it would be cleaned and dry... thanks for the comment..
Uhh! I call bullski on the hot water thing! 99% of dishwashers have a heating element that makes the water way hotter than your sink will get! Also they are mostly plumed with cold water! 🤣
Thanks for watching, adding pre heated water will generally result in an overall higher wash temp and save some money on electricity if your main water source is heated by natural gas or alternative energy. I’ve always had better results doing this. You can choose to take the advice or not,. Have a good one.
So you have to babysit your dish washer or you get a cup full of disgusting water? well fairly clean water with food particles in the bottom of the cup. I watched you video hoping to learn something. I have been waiting for the rinse cycle to start and adding vinegar for years but was hoping someone had made some sort of a dosing pump triggered off the rinse aid dispenser to pump a cup of vinegar into the dish washer at the proper time.
hoeman1974 you don’t have to babysit, but yes you end up with a dirty cup, but I usually dump it half way through. Probably the most effective way for now until is babysitting. If you still have build up use more vinegar without using any soap, add after you hear it drain each time.
@@kd_enterprise3404 I plan to use the power that runs to the rinse aid dispenser which I think is 120 volts I am going to run a small 12 volt power supply and power a new replacement windshield washer pump they sell at a local surplus store for 4 bucks. I will run one line though a hole I drill in the cap of a gallon jug of vinegar and the other I will tap into the rinse aid dispenser or through another plastic fitting in the stainless tub. I will test run the dish washer once with the line ran into a bucket to see just how much and when the rinse aid trigger pumps to see how much vinegar will be used. if it too much I may restrict the flow if its not enough I may add a time delay relay to the circuit. Not sure how handy you are but this could be a topic for a real sparkling clean dishes hack.
hoeman1974 yes, sounds like you have it thought out, would be nice to have a “test” dishwasher to experiment with. If you get it working let me know, sounds interesting!
@@kd_enterprise3404 My test dish washer will be my main dish washer. My dishes don't come clean enough for me unless I use vinegar in every load. I have a water softener but it just doesn't work good enough for me. I like my dishes to always be sparkling. So as it sits I babysit my dish washer during every load. if I just put vinegar in at the start my dishes would never be as clean as I like. It has to go in the rinse cycle. I will never understand why the manufacturers don't include a system that adds detergent and rinse aid along with vinegar and and other cleaning additive you would like from multi use containers. I guess that just makes too much sense.
hoeman1974 I do have a series of water softener repair videos..you must be on well water, I am.. and ya when my softener stops working or forget to add salt everything goes white! Darn things are expensive.
Lala Lo by the time the wash is in progress the vinegar is replaced by water, many noticed the cup “disappeared” by the end of video.. it did not disappear I simply dumped it out later in the cycle so the cup would be clean and not full of dirty water..
at the beginning i saw the cup with vinegar in the dishwasher but when you open after the end of washing the cup is not there. So....what is the trick?
just some bad video editing on my part... I'm use to dumping the cup out near the end of the final cycle so I have a clean cup.. my apologies for that.. just leave the cup in.. it works...
yes it will work with plastic, its especially helpful if your actual cups and plates have any hard water build up.. please subscribe to my channel.. I'd appreciate it, I have a lot of how to videos and stuff.
I just took mine apart ans looked. I think the new draining systems are much weaker than the old ones. They do not dry worth a damm as well. No more coil at the bottom. Now it's a blow dryer. What a pos, Samsung failed on the washer i have, takes forever to be crap. If you get an appliance and it sucks from the beggining, unless it's a vaccum, sent it back. I didn't and thus partially to blame for this new crap product base.

Good analysis. The pump is the critical mechanism that must function properly.
Exactly, Loretta.
Did anybody notice the cup of vinegar vanished when he opened the door..THAT,S CLEAN

Instructions unclear, my house is gone
the soap door didn't open when he ran the dw. it seems to be stuck shut -- same problem that I have
My dish soap cup will not open. Were you able to fix your cup
If you use
1. dishwasher salt,
2. the anti-stain liquid (don't know the English term of it)
3. a ALL IN ONE TABLET
4. Use a washing cycle without prewashing or whatever you call it
Then your dishwasher will be always clean. I mean clean like new.

The white cup with vinegar you left on the bottom just disappeared after the cycle? What happened? Are you showing us only partial cleaning process???
Vinegar is not the best for rubber gaskets, so you might get leaks after a few months. Better with citric acid. You only need about 1 or 2 teaspoons
Very good. Clear concise and to the point. Thanks

🌞🐒You are awesome I will pass on this detailed information and your video. It’s reassuring when someone takes the time to educate us in the “minor” things of our daily living.🌈
Thanks.
Hi k&d enterprise, thank you for answering my question. So I was thinking the liquid rinse served as a detergent for my dishwasher. This might explain why some did not clean well and why it did not fill up properly in the detergent dispenser thing.🤷🏽♀️ okay so I got that part . Now in this video your cup of vinegar cleaned not only the dishes but also the door so what about the stuff on bottom in the back of the dishwasher wich I just saw l had even after the vinegar. Am I supposed to take out the filters or do all dishwashers have filters?? Lots of questions hope you can help👌🤗
Most dishwashers do not have a filter, just the screen inside at bottom which is visible.. if the dishwasher drains all the water out when done all is good. On my dishwasher the door that opens has the two areas which you put the powder type detergent in. The round thing holds the rinse aid.. If your washer is still dirty,, DO THIS.. but you have to listen to the washer because I can't give a timing.. 1. DO NOT put dishes in. 2. Do not use any detergent. 3. Start the dishwasher, you will hear it fill, wash for perhaps 10 minutes then it actually will drain to put new water in, let it fill and listen for it to start washing again. Pre Heat or heat up about 4-8 cups of vinegar in a tea kettle, open the door during the wash cycle and pour it directly in. close door and walk away let it finish up. If you are unsure about timing, just wait about 25 minutes then pour in the kettle of pre heated vinegar....
The vinegar cup is disappeared 😵 wow. It's great magic
Thanks for the comment.. it is magic! Subscribe for more how to's and product reviews!
Oh wow I didn't expect it to actually work....10/10
Thanks... have a good one!
Omg it's really worked thx a lot u save me money
Yea nice try man..but where is the cup when you open it at the end?😂🤣
Thanks for the video.
Welcome! thanks…
I found that pouring the vinegar did not work for my dishwasher, so I will try your method
Just curious but couldn’t you just wait until the cycle is almost done and then pour in a cup of vinegar at that point?
Kara Kelley sure, add it mid cycle while the water is hot, as long as it gets 10 minutes in there, if you do it that way I’d just pour a few cups directly in.
The upright cup is missing when you open the dishwasher...
lol, good catch! I have identified 3 possibilities. 1.) I never put the cup in.. 2.) it disintegrated.. 3.) I did some poor video editing... lol.. Thanks for the comment. But yes it does work really well, especially for hard water deposits or that white film.. but do please use the cup method.
That is the first thing i noticed.
Where you put the cup that was full of vinagre? 🤔 is noy anymore in your video ….
Best guess it’s in my cabinet…
3:48 Cup with vinegar has magically disappeared.
So where’s the cup of vinegar?
I tried to put a cup of vinegar inside my dishwasher and now she won't talk to me anymore.
Yikes...! 😝
Is there a hack for keeping a stainless steel sink clean?
LindaLoo vinegar...
A lot of spot-a-hidden-animal geniuses are asking repetitive questions, you should probably have some subtitle on regarding that missing cup. ha ha
ha ha ha.. thanks for the laugh.. you hit it.. :)
Why is the mug that held the vinegar not in the bottom right corner( where you put it for cleaning) when you open it up for reveal? Hmmmmmmmm..but I do think vinegar works on an empty cycle ...followed by another empty cycle of 1 cup of baking soda.
There has been a lot of speculation and theory about this inconsistency. Check the comments of others for possibilities... Thanks for watching. Subscribe! I have many reviews and how to do's. Have a great day.
My cup that held the vinegar has grit in it.why?
You might have noticed my cup disappeared, mine also had grit in it, that’s the buildup of hard water deposits… on the final rinse I dumped the cup out… so very normal and shows the process worked to some degree… thanks for watching….
What is the little round thing on the door of the dishwasher. I unscrewed it easily and it’s full of stuff. Can it be cleaned with a cleaner or is it a sensitive part that I need to do it manually.?
the little round thing holds the rinse aid.(that blue liquid stuff).. you should not have to clean that unless someone has put something in they should not have.
The "dirty" dishwasher looks cleaner than some I've seen in a showroom. Real deposits are immune to vinegar
After 300 thousand views you are the only person to say it does not work… kinda like you never tried it.. 😂 … ps.. what is a “real” deposit?
What happened to the cup you had vinegar in? It miraculously disappeared. Did you forget to put it back after you cleaned your dishwasher?
bad editing.. lol.
I have a build up of hard water and dishwasher it is so bad it’s about an inch thick
Both are correct. Where's your cup?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Apparently a singularity was formed and it got sucked in before it collapsed.
I like your videos.This one was great! Do you have one about when your soap dispenser stops opening during the cycles?
that is interesting, I have never had that issue. I hope someone can help, until then I'd check to see if its just gooopped up for a lack of better words.. open it up and spray vinegar on it and all around the assembly... let it soak and do it again a few times. spray the little lever also where you can manually open it.... I'll do some checking in the mean time.. let me know.. plus after you soak with vinegar do a quick cycle with the cover open....
Late to the party but if you're still having the issue, let me know
Bad wax motor if you have a digital control panel, or if it’s fully mechanical from the timer then something could be wrong between the timer and the mechanism leading down to the dispenser.
Damn what vinegar did you use ??? Cleaned the entire cup so much it’s invisible !!!
Criss Reznor it’s amaaazzzin isn’t it! Thanks for the comment.
Hello, I did this the other day. Is there suppose to be liquid left in the cup when the cycle is done?
yes, its just water.. all the vinegar has been replaced with water.. some people notice my cup is not in the washer when done.. that is because late in the final cycle i dump it out so it gets cleaned up.
ok, ty for your reply :)
The music made this video 😂😂
How did the cup you put in get turned over?
Poltergeist! Nah, when it was near the end of cycle I dumped it out so the cup would be cleaned... thanks for watching, if your washer is really dirty, let it fill and run for a minute, then just directly pour two cups in the bottom, you could even pre heat vinegar in a kettle..... I did the cup thing because if you put the vinegar in at the start before the washer fills it actually does a drain cycle first = no vinegar... so ya,, let it fill, start washing, open, dump vinegar close and let it continue... thanks for watching...
Where is the cup with vinegar?
I placed 2 cups one on each side . Now all my dishes disappeared! 🤔
I should have warned you.
Does anyone know how to change the filter on this dishwasher?
For this specific dishwasher the filter is not hidden, it’s simply a mesh on the bottom right below the main washer bar.. it’s a big circle below.. no mystery, in full view.... you can just clean the debris off screen, or give it a lite scrub, it does not normally come out..
Hmm. That cup with the vinegar is Gone. Talk about a good cleaning ....
I'm very allergic to vinegar. Next suggestion? I'm not going to have my throat close just to get a clean dishwasher. I will handwash. Its cheaper than an ER visit.
That’s interesting, so you must be allergic to lemons, or all canned goods like tomato soup etc.. my best suggestion would be to get a whole home reverse osmosis water purification... it removes all the hard water deposits so these type of build ups on dishwashers, coffee, tea and kettles does not occur in the first place... prevention should be your goal... or have someone else clean your stuff and rinse well...
@@kd_enterprise3404 Thanks for your suggestion. Im not allergic to lemons or canned foods that don't include vinegar. I do however have to read every label on foods and know what I'm eating at all times. Its frustrating. Im also very allergic to cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. All are air borne allergies as well as consuming these. I miss yellow mustard soooo much. The only condiment I can eat is soy sauce.
ya but the cup is gone from were you put it?
It actually vanished.
Where did the cup go in the corner that was full of vinager at 3:50?
That's a nice clean dishwasher.
You don't make clear how many times you run the dishwasher. Do you put in the vinegar and run the dishwasher and then follow the next two steps. CLR instructs to pour the CLR into the bottom of the dishwasher.
Well let me say this, if you monitor the process, if using vinegar or CLR. Don’t put it in right away, start your dishwasher and listen, it does a short rinse and drains after 10 minutes, just add after that a d walk away.. if you just pour it in then start a cycle, guess what, the first thing it does is drain your cleaner out and refill. The reason I use the cup.. most people don’t what I just told you and or don’t want to spend time listening to the dishwasher to understand.
Where is the upright cup you put inside initially?😂😊
If you set up the water softner that is inside every dishwasher you never gona have limescale there! And buy cascade platinum us detergent it even clean your filter!
What happened to the cup that was full of vinegar you set in the front right side face up when you started. It was no longer in the same spot when your cycle completed and you opened the door? Wooops me thinks!
lol, yes many have commented, my bad.. just a hiccup in my video editing.. plus near the end of the wash cycle I have a habit of dumping the cup so it gets a final cleaning so I can use that cup.. lol.. thanks for watching and please subscribe.. I do all kinds of videos...
Where is the cup with the vinegar 🤔
Not sure, but in other comments by people they had the cup of vinegar but the house was gone... serious magic going on..... thanks for watching...
LoL... Exactly Dj Samson - that cup must have melted due to the hot water washing cycle. SMH
But it’s glass. Glass melts at 1700 degrees Celsius.
@@YoMama9021 glass does NOT melt at that high of a
Temperature. It melts at much lower dear. 1400 degrees Fahrenheit not Celsius. The temperature you're talking about would be 2500 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, remember Celsius is lower than Fahrenheit
I tried this, went for a walk, and when I returned the house was gone and only a cup for of vinegar was left!!!
😂 sometimes that might be preferable...
@@kd_enterprise3404 during these times, so true!
I really did like the video but I just could not resist commenting about the missing cup. I just followed your instructions and the dishes and silverware came out great. I also read elsewhere that a product called Lemi Shine and citric acid work. I ordered the Lemi Shine package from Amazon and it should be here tomorrow. More later. Cheers
Where's the cup that you put in the corner gone
The Cup dissapeared? You like playing games with us...l ol lol
Interesting how you didn't show us the cup of vinegar standing in the corner of the dishwasher at the END of the cycle!
Mark Ferwerda lol, yes, many theory’s in the comments, aliens etc.. just my edit, half way through the compete wash I dumped the cup so it would be cleaned and dry... thanks for the comment..
Uhh! I call bullski on the hot water thing! 99% of dishwashers have a heating element that makes the water way hotter than your sink will get! Also they are mostly plumed with cold water! 🤣
Thanks for watching, adding pre heated water will generally result in an overall higher wash temp and save some money on electricity if your main water source is heated by natural gas or alternative energy. I’ve always had better results doing this. You can choose to take the advice or not,. Have a good one.
So you have to babysit your dish washer or you get a cup full of disgusting water? well fairly clean water with food particles in the bottom of the cup. I watched you video hoping to learn something. I have been waiting for the rinse cycle to start and adding vinegar for years but was hoping someone had made some sort of a dosing pump triggered off the rinse aid dispenser to pump a cup of vinegar into the dish washer at the proper time.
hoeman1974 you don’t have to babysit, but yes you end up with a dirty cup, but I usually dump it half way through. Probably the most effective way for now until is babysitting. If you still have build up use more vinegar without using any soap, add after you hear it drain each time.
@@kd_enterprise3404 I plan to use the power that runs to the rinse aid dispenser which I think is 120 volts I am going to run a small 12 volt power supply and power a new replacement windshield washer pump they sell at a local surplus store for 4 bucks. I will run one line though a hole I drill in the cap of a gallon jug of vinegar and the other I will tap into the rinse aid dispenser or through another plastic fitting in the stainless tub. I will test run the dish washer once with the line ran into a bucket to see just how much and when the rinse aid trigger pumps to see how much vinegar will be used. if it too much I may restrict the flow if its not enough I may add a time delay relay to the circuit. Not sure how handy you are but this could be a topic for a real sparkling clean dishes hack.
hoeman1974 yes, sounds like you have it thought out, would be nice to have a “test” dishwasher to experiment with. If you get it working let me know, sounds interesting!
@@kd_enterprise3404 My test dish washer will be my main dish washer. My dishes don't come clean enough for me unless I use vinegar in every load. I have a water softener but it just doesn't work good enough for me. I like my dishes to always be sparkling. So as it sits I babysit my dish washer during every load. if I just put vinegar in at the start my dishes would never be as clean as I like. It has to go in the rinse cycle. I will never understand why the manufacturers don't include a system that adds detergent and rinse aid along with vinegar and and other cleaning additive you would like from multi use containers. I guess that just makes too much sense.
hoeman1974 I do have a series of water softener repair videos..you must be on well water, I am.. and ya when my softener stops working or forget to add salt everything goes white! Darn things are expensive.
what happened to the cup its gone
Still looking for it!
Where did the cup go that had the vinegar in it??
Then Enterprise beamed it out!
What happened to the mug of vinegar? The mug is gone...hmmmm
No one has figured it out, one guy said he started a load, went out shopping, came back and his house was gone. But the mug was still there.
@@kd_enterprise3404 bahahahahahaha I needed that. 😂😂😂😂😂
Could I reuse the cup of vinegar over and over again or do I need to pour unused vinegar in every wash?
Lala Lo by the time the wash is in progress the vinegar is replaced by water, many noticed the cup “disappeared” by the end of video.. it did not disappear I simply dumped it out later in the cycle so the cup would be clean and not full of dirty water..
@@kd_enterprise3404 oh haha i would of never guessed that it gets replaced by water good info thanks for letting me know!
at the beginning i saw the cup with vinegar in the dishwasher but when you open after the end of washing the cup is not there. So....what is the trick?
just some bad video editing on my part... I'm use to dumping the cup out near the end of the final cycle so I have a clean cup.. my apologies for that.. just leave the cup in.. it works...
I will try. It work if my dishwasher have an plastic interior?
yes it will work with plastic, its especially helpful if your actual cups and plates have any hard water build up..
please subscribe to my channel.. I'd appreciate it, I have a lot of how to videos and stuff.
What happen to the cup on the right hand side that u put the vinegar in. Just disappears after the cycle just like MAGIC 😂😂
It's magic! or a video edit.. or I usually dump the cup out when the last cycle is almost complete so i have a clean cup.
I just took mine apart ans looked. I think the new draining systems are much weaker than the old ones. They do not dry worth a damm as well. No more coil at the bottom. Now it's a blow dryer. What a pos, Samsung failed on the washer i have, takes forever to be crap. If you get an appliance and it sucks from the beggining, unless it's a vaccum, sent it back. I didn't and thus partially to blame for this new crap product base.
Welcome to Letterkenny. ...... how are ya’ now?
Good!
Wtf what happened to the cup with vinegar it disintegrate Holly shit....lol you are feeling id.....
No one has figured that out, including me…
