This is what I’m talking about! This video was short, straight to the point and I learned what I needed to know in a minute…love it!
I'm glad I could help you out so quickly. I do try to make the videos as short and relevant as possible, and feedback like this is greatly appreciated.
My favorite type of videos!
Amen!!!! EXACTLY what I needed to know and in a few short seconds. AWESOME!!
I bought a condo and just cleaned this. It's obvious it's never ever ever ever been cleaned. Omg there is gunk on the gunk 10x over. So nasty. And I paid for a cleaning lady to clean before I moved in. Thanks for your help!
Glad I could help. It is nasty if it's. Ot cleaned regularly. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for getting straight to the point without blabbing for 10 minutes. You’re awesome
Thank you 😊 That's what I'm trying to do. There's no need for waffling on.
Thanks for this video. You saved me a lot of repair-technician costs! I'll also say that once I dismantled the assembly per your instructions, it was a pretty scary scene of all the gunk that was hiding in there from the last 10 years of my dishwasher. Yikes!
Thanks again!
Thank you sir. You didn’t fluff it with bs or say “click subscribe” or advertise yourself. You have quick, concise, perfect instructions. You are the man!
Glad to help. More quick, concise content coming up, that's what my value proposition is.
The one in my apartment is slightly different - a model fbd2400 but your video was a huge help. By seeing that the grey bowl is held by the base sprayer arm unit, I was able to take it all apart.
I pulled off the blue sprayer arm which is very different to this model, and under it was a white disk that held down the gray bowl. I twisted the disk and it unscrewed, then i was able to remove the filters and scrub them clean under running water.
I removed the black grid and the cover plate held with 3 torx-20 screws but they were clean and there was nothing under them to clean.
I did not see any instructions to do this in the owners manual and I had forced the big dish up and couldn't get it back in place.
Thanks so much for this.
I had no idea how to clean out my dishwasher before this. Your clear instructions and follow-along video of the process made it a cinch. Thanks so much, I was kind of intimidated because I never did it before. You made it easy. Also - no kale!
Glad I could help you out and good job for pushing through the intimidation. Thanks for commenting 🙂
Agree with Sarah,( previous comment), straight to the point, clear instructions. Thanks!
You are amazing!!! First time ive had a dishwasher in an apt and oh lord it smelled aweful and had mold
I used a cleaner for it and it still smelled funky
I looked up the exact model and found you liked and saved!!!
You're a life saver
That's sounds terrible, but I'm glad you found my video, and you managed to get rid ofnthebmold and smell. Enjoy your dishwasher, not sure I could go back to life without one. Lol
Clear and straight to the point. Great videos deserve likes. Ty!
The screwdriver needs to be a Torx size 20. Nothing else will fit properly.
So easy when you know how. Thank you very much.
Thank you ! I knew it had to have a filter and your great video helped me find it.
I'm glad that I could help.
thank you!! while an older model, my new apt has this dishwasher and when i moved in it was DISGUSTING but i couldn't figure out how to take out the filter parts. this video was exactly what i needed. it was as if the filter hadn't been cleaned in 20 years. so gross but someone had to do it!!
It was gross bur now it is clean and so will your dishes be. Glad I could help you out. Enjoy your new apartment.
Thank you! After I cleaned the filter I put in some CLR in the soap dispenser as well as a couple of drops of Dawn. The inside of the dishwasher was very greasy. Ran it empty. All spic and span now!
Glad I was able to help you.
Super helpful, thanks for taking the time to make this!
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Your instructions worked for mine. Thanks!
I'm glad they worked and that your dishwasher is now clean.
Thank you so much.. Your video helps me…and can thank you enough have a great day and Good bless you!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much - reset and cleaned and saved myself $600 for a new one!!!!
That's great that you save your current one and didn't have to buy a new one. I 'm glad I could help you out.
This show ed a key bit of information in the first 10 seconds. Thank you so much 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks...I never knew where the drain was after years of using. Thanks to your video it is all new again! 👍😎
Glad to help. Now you have clean dishes that don't smell.
Thankyou for the easy lesson to clean the dishwasher filter
Glad it was helpful!
I was able to put mine back on and put the gray filter arm back at the 9:00 position and turned it to the right. It only went two notches to 6:00 though. Not all the way to the 3:00 position like in the video. Ours appears to be the same Frigidaire model.
Oh my god I had no idea you could remove that!! I just did it and about threw up! 🤢 our dishwasher has reeked for weeks and those dishwasher cleaning tabs weren’t doing anything, thank you so much for this video!
I'm glad that you have a clean, smell free dishwasher now. Have a great weekend. 👍
My Frigidaire dishwasher has a similar interior, it is blocked, this morning.
Clean it thoroughly, replaced, added one cup of white vinegar, took out dishes almond with the carrier, and running a regular load all options to highest.
Will check around 12 PM. Need best wishes 😃
This video is helpful for me. Thanks
Glad to hear that
Thank you so much!! Great explanation!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Exactly what I needed
Glad it helped!
Just used this video, thank you.
Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I've read the book but the movie is so much better! Ima Visual and we learn differently then the book worms!
Bruh thank you for this video. I haven't taken mine apart yet and had no idea if I was going to bust it or not
Taking things apart can be a bit nerve-wracking, but hey, the satisfaction of fixing something is worth it! Have a great day!
Great instructions - just be sure to firmly push the washer arm down when everything is clean! Mine flew off during the first cycle after cleaning and landed on the heating element - part of it melted and I had to replace it 😅
Super useful, thank you!
Glad you like the video.
Thank you so much, this is awesome!!!!
Glad I could help you with this video.
Thank you.
LOL, I saw this video after I tried to clean my filter, exact same filter in my dishwasher, I managed, but this video will help a lot next time I have to clean it.
Glad you found the video useful.

Glad I was able to help you out.
I had broken glass in mine! Be careful when cleaning this out! You never know what you're gonna find!
Thank you so much!
Glad I could help you out.
Thanks
Mine ain’t got the black thingy you raised up that latches it in place? We just moved here about two weeks ago & the dishwasher stopped cleaning my dishes & not drying them either how can I get it off without the black thingy it comes up but the grey pad thingy doesn’t come off with it.
Thank you
No problem, glad I could help
This was so helpful, took mine apart I think whoever did it before did not screw back in the piece (hopefully that’s where all my issues are stemming from)
Glad I managed to help you out.
Thanks, solved my issue with this video!
I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you bro !!
No problem!!
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Glad I was able to help you out.
Same I just cleaned mine and at first I was like it not moving
Been there, done that. Thank you though. Frigidaire dishwashers just seem to be bad products overall. I have to keep babysitting mine. The _single_ spray arm somehow stops spinning mid-cycle, but I din't know why (not catching on anything). And its door pops open several times per cycle ike there's built-up pressure inside. It's super weird. But I'm through with it. It's only five months old but is a bottom-of-the-barrel model that came new with this place. Replacing it with a midrange Whirlpool tomorrrow.
Thank you for not wasting a second of my time
Good to hear.
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks for the tutorial, dude! It helped me out a lot. I took the drain and spinning arm assembly apart completely, but I didn't pay attention to how to put it back together. Oops! I fumbled around with the draining mechanism for a little bit and through a process of trial and error I figured it out. I just could not for the life of me figure out how the spinning arm connected to the drain. Apparently it _twists_ back into place, rather than snaps back into place. You saved me the humiliation of my wife making fun of me.
Nobody needs that humiliation, so I'm glad that you found my video and it helped you out. Have a great weekend!
Mine is slightly different, it doesn't have that dark grey nob thingy, and the propeller thing has some platic bits in the center that shoots up when water goes through it.
I tried turning it to the left but nothing is happening.
I keep hearing a eeeeeeeee sound that just started popping up two days ago and my dishes are not cleaning well now. I wonder if this could be a fix.
Life and time saver right here. Thank you.
Mine is missing the black piece, is there a way to still take it apart without it?
Awesome 👏
Thanks 🤗
i put it back and its no longer snug fit even if i lock it (going to the right) it doesnt clean it as it was before, is there a step i missed when putting it back?
My dishwasher does not have that black bracket that you took out now what. I guess I have to look up the part number. Already found here so maybe circulation pump is bad
My glass filter rotate back and forth. Does that mean it needs to be replaced?
Thanks for jumping to the point
I'm glad you liked the no fluff style. Trying to do more videos like this. Enjoy your weekend 🍺
Q: @ 0:28sec, is there a clip or something we need to lift or unhook in order to remove the larger filter circle and the filter cup? My dishwasher looks like yours but the circle and the cup don't seem to come out easily at all.
Not sure, the larger the filter on mine is held in palace by the center piece, no clips. Maybe it's a newer model or older.
So my lower spray arm just fell over and melted to the hot metal piece on the bottom I guess because it wasn't locked in. I took it out and am getting another piece but I also found a medium sized black o ring along with it. Any idea if that's part of the inside of the dish washer bc it wasn't for any of my dishes
Not sure where that would have come from but sounds like it would be the dishwasher if it isn't from any dishes.
Mine doesn't pop off like that
Hey man I got the same washer. It drains I can hear it but doesn’t drain it all. Cleaned all that and it still leaves water. Any suggestions?
The waste hose to your drain may be clogged. It's normally a pretty thin pipe and can get pretty gross. I assume the main drain isn't clogged, or your sink wouldn't be draining.
Totally would hav been helpful had you mentioned that the dark gray filter had two screws holding that filter part down!
Mine didn’t
How do we clean the part that requires a screw removal? There’s definitely gunk under there
use a screwdriver to undo the screw and pull the part out.
Can a dirty filter prevent the water from filling the machine? My dishwasher runs, but VERY minimal water gets in. Dishes SLIGHTLY wet, but still dirty. Soap pod is barely dissolved. It pops out the compartment, soaps gone, but plastic sits at the bottom by the door.
If there is a water in the bottom of your dishwasher then that could be why, which is normally due to a dirty filter or clogged waste pipe. Other than that the jet holes could be clogged, I have had that happen too and the dishes come out with food splatters on them
How do we clean it if it’s clogged and water is sitting there after taking off the parts?
Use a carpet cleaner, wet vac, or another method to get the water out and remove the debris stopping it from draining. If there is t anything in the bottom, look at the drain pipe as it may be clogged or the drain pump is bad
I did this today and found an o ring sitting on the bottom, not sure where it came from, was hoping to see if this video would show it. Is there a rubber seal in those parts anywhere?
I don't see any o rings in mine and don't see anywhere that should have on but could be wrong. Mine may be missing it.
There are no o-rings anywhere in that model of dishwasher that can fall out. Probably came from something that was washed earlier. I have the same washer as in the video.
That’s what I am looking for
Help cant put it back😊
I was able to disassemble like you instructed, but having a difficult time replacing the fan-like thing back😢 it keeps coming off. Help please.😊 Thanks 😊😊😊
sounds like the base isn't quite lined up. Make sure it is seated before turning and this should lock it in place.
Can someone please do a vid on Frigidaire Mdl # FGHD2455LFOA Because there is a third set of fine filters which have screws and there is a rear plastic tube which prevents the filter from coming out. I dont want to break anything by forcing it out.
Send me a picture at contactdiywithcam@gmail.com and I will see if I can help you out. I'm not familiar with the model, but may have some suggestions.
Just what i needed, but the dishwasher smells so bad im scared at what i may find....
Needs to be cleaned though...
Is there some water in yours? When I took the parts out, I noticed there is some water in the gutter/cavity. Is that normal or is that a sign that my dishwasher is not draining properly. Anybody has the same experience?
@diywithcam
A small amount is common in the cavity under the filter. If there is water visible above the filter, then you may have a problem. Hope this helps.
the washer arm piece wont lock back in for me
i have the same dishwasher, and after running it, there's a smell after a few days. i took it everything out that you did, but there's standing water. is that normal, or could that be the cause of the smell after a few days?
I believe that is normal! Once you run it again you’ll get new standing water.
Removed the screen like you showed and it was like a horror scene. Had no idea.
it's not pretty the first time, but when you get on top of it, then it isn't as bad. Thanks for watching and glad that I could help you out.
why is mine not snapping back into place? its loose now no matter what i do :( i did not break it though.
Did you line the washer arm back up with the top of the slot. It can only fit in one direction because of the t shape on the shaft.
Where do you put the salt
I don't add salt or any drying aid to mine, just the detergent.
It's funny how companies like #Finish tell you Not to Rinse the dishes off Before you put them in. The food has to go Somewhere...
So true
What do you do when it won’t turn to the left?
Maybe you have a different model or it is jammed.
Your screen is warped and could allow junk to slip under the edge. So is mine, and looking for a DIY fix.
I don't think there is one. It's just a thin piece of plastic in a hot dishwasher. It makes sense why all the junk gets caught underneath the screen and not on top.
Why can't I twist it off?? Every video is so easy but not mine lol
Something could be jamming it or you have a slightly different model.
The end got cut off! I needed to see how the arm got put back on. 😢
Line up the pin with the washer arm and turn.
I have water sitting in the space under the filter :(
Mine sometimes does that. Try clearing any debris out that may be preventing the water draining fully. Some kale or lettuce could be stuck in the bottom.
@@DIYwithCam Turning the dishwasher on and off helped drain the water. The drain hose, however, seems that little dirty; I’ll probably have to drain it, and clean it out someday
I had the same issue. I used a turkey baster to suck the remaining water out.
Anyone else here because of that reddit post on tik tok?
What reddit post on tik tok? Can you share
@DIYwithCam it was a thread of r/askreddit about little known facts that you are supposed to know. One of the posts said that you're supposed to clean your dishwasher filter regularly.
umm just rented a home the the dishwasher didnt have that racket i think? Am i screwed?
You can probably find one online or maybe your dishwasher doesn't have one.
Thank you!
