A dirty dishwasher cannot clean dishes properly. Grease, food particles, and mineral deposits build up inside over time.

  1. Remove and rinse the filter at the bottom – this is the most important step.
  2. Wipe down the door gasket and interior door edges.
  3. Place a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot cycle empty.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and run a short hot cycle.

Do this monthly. If dishes are coming out with a film or odor, the filter or spray arms need attention first.
