Dishwasher

TIPS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR DISHWASHER

1. CLEAN THE DRAIN FILTER

To avoid a clogged drain—and a smelly dishwasher—clean the drain filter.

2. UNCLOG THE SPRAYER ARM NOZZLES

To help maintain the cleaning power of your dishwasher, make sure the nozzles of the sprayer arms are not clogged.

3. WIPE DOWN THE DOOR SEAL

Your dishwasher’s door seal ensures water stays inside the appliance during cycles and cleans your dishes effectively. Routinely wipe down the seal using a vinegar and water solution to avoid mold and mildew buildup.

4. RINSE THE MACHINE

Giving your dishwasher a good rinse can help neutralize odors and wash away grease and grime. Fortunately, it’s quick and easy job—no scrubbing required. Simply pour one cup of white vinegar into the bottom of your empty dishwasher, select a deep cleaning cycle, and run the dishwasher at the hottest temperature available.

5. AIR OUT YOUR DISHWASHER

If you don't let your dishwasher air out after a cycle, moisture can get trapped inside and cause mold to grow.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS KEY

If you want to help prevent a smelly dishwasher from becoming a regular occurrence, a little maintenance goes a long way. Performing the above steps a few times a year can help stop food particles from building up and keep your dishwasher running smoothly. Don’t forget to thoroughly rinse your dishes and scrape off any large pieces of food before putting them in the dishwasher.
