Do you Clean your Dishwasher?
Our 8 year old dishwasher was not getting the dishes clean. I was confident that the dishwasher being equipped with a built in chopper/garbage disposal was doing it's job. I looked in the bottom ,saw a ring of black mold around the seal so I ran a little liquid bleach thru a wash cycle. Black ring was gone but dishes had black flecks on them. The bleach loosened up a bunch of hidden black junk.
I took every thing apart. What a mess. The spray arms were clogged with black jelly like gunk. All the tubes and inner parts were clogged. I soaked them all in bleach. Luckily the bleach dissolved the gunk in the inaccessible parts.
Now I'll run a little bleach thru a wash cycle periodically.
