Throwback UA-cam video. No ridiculous music in the background overshadowing your voice. No wasting our time with a 5 minute introduction babbling. Straight to the point. Thank you sir.

This is the kinda video that makes UA-cam great.
Thank you, I appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
What a great video! Gets to the point shows you how to do it none of this talking on and on and on about nothing… Boy was my filter gross! many thanks!!!
Thank you, and thank you for watching! I try to make my videos without any fillers...please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I agree with so many others. Great video! Straight to the point. No excessive babbling and introduction. No annoying music. Clear instructions. I’m going to do this right now to my dishwasher. Thank you.

Short and to the point. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this great video, straight to the point and no rambling! My dishes were coming out of the dishwasher with a fishy smell and it turns out the issue was the filter was dirty - problem resolved promptly after I cleaned it out.
I’m glad you were able to clean your filter and get those dishes smelling fresh! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks for making this video. It shows that getting rid of the awful smell in my dishwasher is going to be much easier than I thought it would be. 👍
I never realized the filter was removable. I cleaned over 7 years of grime and food particles out of it and oh my GOD the smell was something else. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you! This was super helpful! I kept turning the filter clockwise because that’s what was in the manual. It probably didn’t help that it was covered in slippery goo. I can’t believe I’ve never cleaned my dishwasher filters before. It was like something out of a horror movie 🧟♀️😱- I wore gloves. Setting a monthly reminder to clean this thing 🤗
Thank you for watching! They can get pretty nasty fast! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Will the dishwasher cleaner get rid of said grime? We have something very similar on our filter... A thick goo, but ours isn't slippery it's more sticky? Like caked on or baked on oil+dirt+grime.
Recommendations?
I know this video is older, but it was sure helpful tonight. I live in an apartment and I doubt the filter has ever been cleaned. It was caked really thick with sludge. But got it all taken care of with your help of this easy video! Thank you so much!
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Perfect. I wondered how. Glad you could post with just the instructions and not 10 minutes of fluff.
Much appreciated.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you appreciate my short-to-the-point style!
This couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I didn’t know there was a second filter besides the little one and you taught me that! Thank you. I was so excited thinking maybe if I cleaned 2nd filter my dishes wouldn’t taste like chemical grime anymore but they still do sadly. I’ve changed detergents & no luck. Back to handwashing I go…
Thank you for watching! Did you happen to try the Glisten dishwasher cleaner amzn.to/37sMBrY I found that it worked pretty well, also try running an empty cycle at the hottest setting. Hopefully those will help out. Thank you again.
I'm in the same boat!
Great info, thanks. Yours is the cleanest dirty dishwasher I've ever seen!
Thank you so much! I never dreamed it was this easy to clean that filter! No wonder my "clean" dishes smelled so funky!
Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
You (and your calmness) are my hero. Food Filter...who knew? Didn't have to call for a repair!
That’s great! Thank you for watching and for the compliment! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already, thank you!
Thanks man, my landlord put in a new dishwasher without any directions! Now I finally know where the filter is!
My first time ever cleaning my dishwasher. Same model as yours. Thank you so much for this vid.
Thank you for watching! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My dishwasher was exactly like yours and was easily removed and cleaned. Disgusting is truly not a strong enough word for what I found.

Yes! That Glisten dishwasher cleaner is awesome! Also, my plumber friend recommends Finish Jet-Dry and Finish Quantum Max tabs!
Thanks!!! Just what I needed to know. Clear and concise, without a lot of extra jabbering. Great video.

@@5MinuteFixit It was so easy. Exactly like you said and sure needed it. I can't believe I did not know to do that. Definitely a thumbs up!
Thank you for posting this! I just cleaned the dishwasher in my apartment. Looks as if it’s never been cleaned before.
Thank you for watching!
OMG! Great video! Right to the point! I just tried to watch one that took forever to even show where the filter was! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching! I try to make my videos short and too the point...so I appreciate the compliment! Glad you found it helpful and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank you so much, I had no idea there was a filter inside LOL and I was afraid it would be so difficult. My dishes go into the machine clean but I can see sediment.
I just liked and subscribed. Thank you so much.❤
This video is just what I was looking for! Thanks for informative easy-to-follow directions! I liked & subscribed!
Love this! Thank you for watching, liking and subscribing! I truly appreciate it!
This video was perfect at explaining how to get the filter out and clean it. Especially when I first looked at the Whirlpool page and it said to turn the filter clockwise to remove it! Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and for the kind words! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up as a thank you if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I had no clue dishwashers had two filters! They seem to have never been cleaned. Thank you for the video!!

5 Minute Fix it oh I did. Super helpful. I wasn’t raised with a dishwasher and honestly my dad passed when I was 20 months old so I learn a lot from people like you on UA-cam. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful and Thank you again for watching...also I have some other DIY/Fix videos on my channel if you are interested!
Great, and to the point. I have a different whirlpool and it has the same drain system. Saved me a call to repairman. Took me longer to drain than to clean.
That’s great I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this >$100 tip. We noticed the dishwasher was not rinsing all the soap and food debris from our 5-year-old Whirlpool dishwasher. Your tip just saved us a visit from the curse of the "TRIVIAl&EXPENSIVE SERVICE CALLS"😩
Thats great, glad it was helpful! All I ask is that you give the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! I appreciate it and thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit I did and in all my wisdom can't understand how anyone can give this a down. It has to be those "PLUMBER TROLLS" who charge $100+ for such "REPAIRS (should I say RIPOFFS)
Thank you!!! My filter was awful! And I’ve ordered the cleaner.
This was great video. Easy to follow and simple. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I couldn't find the info on the sheet that came with my dishwasher on how to get this out. Plus, I didn't know anything about the dishwasher cleaner thing. Again. Thanks for this video.

oh wow ..lol I NEVER knew I had a filter..this should be fun
..thank you
Thank you 🙏 I never knew you needed to clean the filter. Actually never thought about it ever having one. Now my dishwasher works like new. It’s about 15 years old. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Can’t wait to try this - and get rid of the fishy smells! Thanks for the video and how to clean my dishwasher. I feel much better now.😊
Thank you for watching and hopefully it gets rid of the problem for you! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank you for the short, concise video! Dishwasher in my apt sat filthy for months🤢 and tried this today. Used a natural cleaning combo of vinegar and baking soda. Worked wonders; gonna stay on top of this going forward!
That's great, I'm glad you were able to get your dishwasher back to pristine condition! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Did you just put vinegar & baking soda in the machine, or were they in a container?
@@heatherjackson155Hi! I sprinkled a small amount of baking soda covering the bottom and placed a dishwasher safe plastic bowl with about a cup or so of white vinegar in the middle of the top rack and ran it as suggested in the video. I hope this helps! Apologies for the 7 mos delay in replying😅
Thank you. It was perfect description on how to clean
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the compliment! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Seriously, I could not BELIEVE what was in the filter and the side pan. I'm now on a monthly basis for cleaning. Thanks for the great video.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks. I just cleaned mine and it really wasn't that bad. It is 8 years old and never been done. We do rinse everything off before we put stuff in.
Best how to guide ever, thanks ♥️

Thank you so much, first to do it myself, it used to be my late husband assignment, and now I have to do things by myself. You are a God send.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks for the video! I found even 1 more step - the top domed part of the filter piece actually pops out of the filter basket part to reveal even more nooks and crevices that catch gunk!
That’s great thanks for the tip! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks!!!! You solved a long term problem. 😊

Thank you. My husband usually takes care of stuff around the house but he had been busy then went through cancer so things wasn’t done. I didn’t even know there was a filter & ours was beyond disgusting but now I know so I can keep up w/it. We are having trouble w/ours draining so hopefully this works
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank you! I
Your straight forward advice offered the solution. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I’m glad it was helpful!
I have now idea how you muster the courage to do that with bare hands and exposed wrists. When I cleaned out my parents' dishwasher, I used long-cuff nitrile gloves, disposable sleeves, an apron, a faceshield and a shower cap, simply out of sheer terror of that gunk splashing into me.
Brave man! LOL
Thank you for this video. After three years I just cleaned mine for first time. Luckily the filter was very cleaned. I always wash the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher.

Thank you. I just found out the previous owners installed this 12 years ago and I don't think they ever cleaned it. I tried to clean it but it was too far gone and just ordered replacement parts.
Thanks for the video... what is the knob shaped thing in the bottom right corner? I always thought that was the drain access on my old washer but on my new one it doesnt unscrew...
Very simple, easy to understand thank you 🙏🏼

Excellent video thank you!🐊
Thank you so much - so grateful for this information when those who brought us up didn't teach us anything about any of this -- I read the manual back to front and it didn't even teach us how to do it! 😊 I am curious - when you put the dishwasher cleaner in there and you use the Finish liquid dishwasher sachets for washing regular dishes ... do you put one of those in the container for the regular dishwashing liquid as well? If you don't do that, will the dishwasher run with * just * the dishwashing cleaner in it?
Thank you! Super simple instructions

I used a toothbrush and some dish soap to clean the filters and then I ran the machine empty with some CLR.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Washing that filter is essential. My washer stops working during the first 10 minutes. Goes into Cancel mode and drains. Found out the filter was clogged with calcium build. Soaked it in CLR and used a brush to remove the build up. Washer completes the wash cycle now.
Thanks for the tip on the CLR! Also thank you for watching!
thank you so much. this was a great video

I live in 99347 where water is hard and white buildup occurs easily due to water hardness.
Before watching your video: I heavily hand-washed the two parts with detergent. But still due to the awkwardness of the filter, I threw both parts into the washing machine with protective bags wrapping around them. Now I realize there is a thing called dishwasher cleaner. After the washing machine cycle, I shall put both parts back and use the dishwasher cleaner as well!
Thank you so much. My husband was saying he had to take the dishwasher apart to clean it so l am happy l came across your video now l have a nice clean dishwasher 🙂

That’s great! Thank you for watching! Can I ask what Fauna is? Thanks again!
@@5MinuteFixit Ceres Fauna is a streamer who mostly just plays videogames, but the topic was brought up that not many people know (me included) that dishwashers have a filter which has to be cleaned, so I got curious and went to look for mine
And so I looked up how to find the dishwasher filter, and this video was very useful, many thanks!
That’s great, thanks for the reply and I’m glad the video was helpful. I also have some other appliance maintenance videos on my channel if you are interested! Thanks again!
@@5MinuteFixit will check them out, thanks!
Thanks for the informative and to the point video. Question: when you removed both filters, did you have retained water in the part where you removed the first cylindrical filter? I had standing water that had debris floating in it. I'm wondering if that "well" should be dry? Thanks again.
Thank you for watching! Yes there typically is some residual water in the “well” area. Thanks again for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already!
Thank u so much! I had no idea how to do mine and lemme tell ya it was nasty!
