    the dishwasher detergent thing and the bleach

    Reply 29, 32 Dollar tree powder detergent (contains chlorine) worked great for me as well with cooked on soils. However, use it up fast as the clumped detergent portions of the box washed horribly. - cloudiness/soil remnants.

    Dollar Tree Ultra Shine dishwasher powder

    Ultrashine Can confirm this works great, until it clumps! Had cooked on soil still and cloudy dishes upon using the clumped part. Also glass etching takes many many cycles before any glass is dissolved. It won't show up immediately although hard water stains will show immediately.

    How to prepare dishes for the dishwasher..

    Prerinsing #33. A residental dishwasher and a commercial dishwasher cycle are two different beasts all together. A 2 minute commercial dishwasher cycle and a 2 hour cycle on a residential dishwasher are 2 different balls of wax. One thing we can all agree on is a dishwasher is best at rinsing...

    Maytag JetClean Dishwasher Recall?

    Was dw level? Would raising the front feet up a bit keep it from leaking? Omit jet dry to prevent the leak of it falling on wires/connectors.

    Tags have been my frequent find! Rinso and christfr(st. Louis) Thinking rinso had both of these in pic. -found the builtin free 5 years ago on craigslist had very light use to my standards. The portable was just found by a bud in a house cleanout at curb which was virtually BRAND NEW about 4...

    Looking for a new dish washer

    Self cleaning filtering 30+ yo post reverse rack maytag (free on marketplace 5 years ago) - pic below is how clean the filter was after 5 years of use and no prerinsing. Was really expecting a mess as never could see how the old maytag design of the self cleaning filter could actually spray...

    Dishwasher + Eggs = Wet Dog Smell

    Egg Since installing a new water heater 3 years ago - the smell spread in dw from egg has disappeared! Nothing else changed, not even the detergent! The combo of an older wh (or dissolving anode rod) and egg must be the culprit?

    Tide Leaving Funky Odor Behind

    Liquids Might want to read up on liquid detergents becoming bacteria laden. Reports of skin infections have surfaced from.. Would imagine the older a liquid product gets the more likelyhood of bacteria growing in the detergent.

    Rotary Microwave- to good to be true?

    Microwave Had the pleasure at a lake house of using a newer microwave that did operate the fan, light and turntable when the door was opened. At first using and finding this did cause initial internal excitement thinking "the microwave is still running". But after not feeling heat on my...

    Another water heater failure! 6 years

    Anode rods Overly soft water is corrosive (wh anode rod). The trick is to have softner set just to the point of occasional spots on glasses from the dishwasher (w/o using rinse aid). This also prevents glass etching from progressing. I had a brand new wh leak in about a year, of course...

    Spare Maytag belts anyone?

    It was already 98% level Just washed a completely mixed load and the final spin was just as perfect as brand new - the 1st spin was fast knocking throughout as the agitator spun a bit oval. Full speed seemed to be achieved. Just let it go for another 10 years and access? Ha

    Maytag Dishwasher commercial

    Powerclean Dan, your powerclean is identical to mine and had no idea it was as new as 2016 (was guessing late 90s). As John mentioned, cooler water supplied combined with water heat option will give best results. Burned on soils wash 100% in mine with loose powder but my hot water is around 110f.

    Spare Maytag belts anyone?

    Knocking Thanks for replies as each has me thinking more on this. Last i looked a year ago, the damper pads looked ok. The knocking sounds to me sound like the slide plate (also replaced in 2004). Also on full loads, "a tick" sound is heard while washing, different but similar sound during...
