How to Deal With a Dirty Dishwasher!
Make sure you rinse dishes before you put them into the dishwasher. Put a cup of vinegar on top shelf & put the detergent in as usual. Run cycle without dishes.
I usually empty the dishwasher, pour 1 cup of white vinegar in the bottom and run it. Then run it empty a second time. Much like you do a coffee maker. Don't forget to clean the food catcher at the bottom of the dishwasher first.
Lemon shine makes a citrus product just for this purpose. If I have to rinse my dishes I would not have a dishwasher.
Empty out filter............and clear dishes before putting in the machine (Do not use as Waste disposal)
If the white vinegar does not do the trick for you in eliminating the dirt at the bottom, I would consider looking elsewhere for a drain blockage.
I wonder why a dishwasher would have to be cycled to do the task it is engineered and built to do and then re-cycled with vinegar, how efficient is it to do dish-washing twice? Twice the volume of water, electricity, and then heat.
place a cup of vinegar on the top rack and run a full cycle with very hot water. Wipe inside with paper towel when cycle is completed.
