An epiphany came when we were cleaning our dishwasher, after almost 10 years of blissful neglect.<\/p>\n
GE engineers failed me. To clean the dish washer, I needed to remove the top rack first. That required two plastic stoppers with the instructions from a YouTube search. After the top rack, I needed to remove a feeder pipe, the bottom sprayer, and the main water conduit. Then, I needed to pry out the waste basket which is also the locking mechanism for the mesh. I wouldn’t be able to do this without consulting the internet multiple times. And the taking apart was the easier part.<\/p>\n
Underneath the mesh and sprayer was gross stuff matching the TV show “The Dirtiest Job.” There were brown greasy clumps, brown-black caked layer on surfaces, and hard mineral fused on whatever. An hour or so of hard scrubbing later, the reassembly process started. That took only 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n
We trial-ran the dish washer with a cup of vinegar on the top shelf, facing upward. Then re-ran it with glassware and mugs. They were spotless. Yay!<\/p>\n
Life is full of filters. Wherever a filter exists, there must be a way to clean or replace it. You can simply spray clean your screen window. You will discard your coffee filter. You drive to a mechanic to replace one or several filters in your car.<\/p>\n
I sincerely hope you have a better dishwasher than my 10-year old GE Profile<\/em>. I urge you to check it today, and wish you the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An epiphany came when we were cleaning our dishwasher, after almost 10 years of blissful neglect.
