Alain July 21, 2021 for Model Number MDB4949SDH2 Hi, My dishwasher's upper an lower arms holes often get plugged with food debris recently. Last time it was pepper seeds. Could it be the Chopper that needs to be replaced? If I replace the chopper, is there any other parts I should replace at the same time while being there? Thanks!
1 Answer Alain, The chopper should be the only thing that would need to be replaced for this issue. Clean out the filters as well. Read More...
Jim March 08, 2018 for Model Number MDB8959SFZ4 After my daughter put a ton of food in my dishwasher, I cleaned the inside of the dishwasher, including removing the screen and protector assembly and cleaned everything. I wanted to take a look at the chopper, as in the old kitchenaid, that's where a lot of my cleaning issues originated (vegetables with skins would get caught, along with pieces of plastic, toothpicks ect.). The kitchenaid was simple, as the chopper was accessible from the top. However, it looks like the chopper for this maytag requires me to dig deeper. I found a video for replacing the drain pump, but nothing for the chopper (part #W10591562). Can you explain how to get to and check/clean the chopper?
1 Answer Jim, Unfortunately there is no video for the chopper but you would need to remove the cover and then remove the drain adapter and the outlet cover to access the chopper assembly. Read More...
Lynn February 28, 2016 for Model Number mdb8969 Maytag dishwasher I am getting food debris deposits in the dishwasher. I have done all the usual things - run a cycle with vinegar or citric acid The last time that didn't work, I called the company that sole it to me - it was ayear old. When he removed the accumulator cover, the filter screen was covered with debris. he removed somethin else and there was a bunch of food accumulated in the bottom. I can't remember how he removed the accumulator cover to get to the screen. Can you help? thank you
1 Answer Hello Lynn. Remove lower spray arm. 1. Remove the four (4) Torx T-20 screws securing the soil accumulator from the sump base. 2. The soil accumulator assembly will now lift free of the sump base. Read More...
