John March 28, 2013 for Model Number Jenn Air JDB 5 Dishwasher is not draining completely after washing. There is approximately 1 inch of water left in bottom. Repair man came and says he thinks the filter, which is a very fine mesh, is clogged with detergent. He recommended cleaning with a mixture of hot water and white vinegar. Does this sound correct? I was thinking the pump was going bad. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer John, If the mesh filter is clogged up then yes the hot water and vinegar will help to clean it. It may be necessary to remove from the unit and clean. If the build up is too bad then it may need to be replaced. Read More...
Larry March 14, 2012 for Model Number Maytag MDB6000AWW DISHWASHER My upper and lower wash arm holes occasionally get clogged with bits of plastic or candle wick or metal foil that didn't get rinsed off dishes before they were put in the dishwasher. I thought it might be holes in the filter so I removed it but it looks good, intact, no clogging. How can I block such material from getting into the wash arms? Once a month I remove both arms and pull out the debris from the holes.
1 Answer Hello Larry. As per manufacturer instruction, scrape the excess off of all dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. If there are children or elderly in the house, have them put dishes in the sink or on the kitchen counter to assure they don't get anything in the unit that isn't recommended. Maybe this will help. Have a great day! Read More...
Bob January 27, 2012 for Model Number DWU9200AAX Filter AP4112901 is getting cloged up a white materail, this has happen now three times in the last year, never been a problem before. Using SAMS Member Mark dishwasher gel
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like the gel is clogging the filter WP99001791. Make sure the water is turned on and is getting hot at the sink before, you start the dishwasher. This will help break the gel down inside the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Pat January 11, 2012 for Model Number MDB6550AWB My Maytag dishwasher is not cleaning very well lately. Could this be the filter? If so, will this AP4112901 filter fit?
1 Answer Hi Pat. This is the filter screen that is right below the top filter hsg. You will do yourself a large favor by using a shop vac, towels and pick tools to clean the entire unit. Remove the racks and the wash arms. Use a pick tool to flush out the wash arms under the sink. Get all the debris out from jet holes. Then you will need to remove all sump hsg screws aside one by one with all the parts so you can reassemble them correctly. The filter screen will be clogged. Going further down into the unit then you will remove the staggered thin washers and get into the rinse arm assy. Expect this to be clogged altogether. You will need to use the pick tools to remove all the debris out from the side vertical slots. 3 more parts from this is the impeller assy. that will need to be checked for clogged or broken vanes. This is part # WP6-915435 . Below this is the chopper blade assy. part # 912310. This may be chewed up and need to be replaced. Thank You. Read More...
