I've been having problems with my Kenmore Ultra dishwasher lately. After doing some research, I found the most probable causes were hard water, too much detergent, and screen or filter problems. It seemed to me that the problems were more like filtering issues because I had what looked like dirty water in the dishwasher being applied to the dishes. So I figured I would clean the sump in the bottom of the dishwasher to see if that would take care of the problem.
This video covers removal of the parts in the dishwasher necessary to access the sump in the bottom of the dishwasher. From my research online, I discovered that this type of maintenance should work on Whirlpool and Kitchenaid dishwashers as well.
Before attempting any repair on an appliance, be sure that you fully understand the required steps and that you can safely and competently use all of the required tools. Only use replacement parts of the same size, specifications and capacity as your original manufacturer's part.
It is also always a good idea to have a first aid kit as well as a fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies, be sure you understand how to use both before starting. If you are unsure about any of the steps in the repair procedure, it is recommended you call your local appliance repair technician for your own safety.
In addition, be sure to pay very close attention to any and all safety cautions and warnings posted on the appliance being serviced. Understanding and adhering to these safety advisories can greatly reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself.
