β Step-by-Step Guide: Restore Your Dishwasher
1. Empty the dishwasher
Let the cycle finish and remove all dishes.
2. Pull out the bottom rack
Slide out the bottom rack to expose the interior base.
3. Check for leftover food
Look for bits of beans, pasta, seeds, or other debris that may have collected.
4. Remove debris
Use a paper towel to wipe up and discard the food particles.
5. Clean the filter
Locate the dishwasher filter (usually on the bottom), twist to remove, and rinse under warm water to clear food buildup.
6. Reinstall the filter & rack
Place the filter back in securely, then slide the rack back in.
7. Run a cleaning cycle (optional but recommended weekly)
Run a dishwasher-cleaning cycle or add a dishwasher cleaner/vinegar-rinse to remove grime and odors.
