How To Maintain Maytag Dishwasher Parts

By Marie Patterson


Not many people think about cleaning and maintaining their dishwashers. There is always the assumption that the system cleans itself up when cleaning dishes. This leads to the washer getting small minor complications that worsen over time. When these problems are not fixed, the device gets ruined altogether. Here are tips and guidelines to help you maintain your Maytag dishwasher parts.

Regular cleaning of the system is essential. After you are done with the dishes, make sure that you remove them from the device and clean the washer. The process is quite simple. You just need to pour a little vinegar at the bottom of the washers and allow them to run. For the vinegar to be completely effective, stop the running for a few minutes and let the vinegar soak in the soap scum. You can then drain the washer and run a rinse cycle.

The second way to keep things working with the machine is washing with compounds that contain citric acid. Here, you simply replace the detergent holder with powdered lemonade. Another effective alternative here is tang and crystal light. You then run the dishwashers on low and rinse afterward. The citrus wash keeps the inside of the washer clean and fresh. It also can remove any mineral deposits stuck inside the system.

Another part of dishwashers that gets complications is the arms which handle the washing. To protect your washer from this, you need to keep removing all of the debris and dirt which blocks the tiny holes. This can be best achieved using a toothpick or a needle. Handle the eyeballing process with a lot of care as it can ruin the arms of the dishwasher.

The filter is another element in the device that is prone to breaking down. Most dishwashers have a detachable filter at the bottom. A great way of ensuring the filter stays in proper working condition is cleaning out all food particles from plates before loading them in the appliance. You can also detach the filter from time to time and clean it using water and soap. After rinsing the filter, place it back in the device.

Another machine part that collects a lot of gunk and is prone to get ruined is the rim around the door seal. To clean this part, you will need a combination of water and vinegar. Wipe the area every time you do your dishes. Ascertain that it is dry and free from dirt.

Mold is another common problem with dishwashers. This is because of the moisture and the warmth found inside the system. To handle the mold, you have to use bleaching substances. Fill the detergent holder with the bleach and allow the washer to run. Regular cleaning with bleach will keep mold away.

Those are the top maintenance tips that can help in extending the life of your dishwashers. If there are changes to be done, always look for genuine parts online. Also, only engage professionals in the repair process.
