How do I clean the filters in my Maytag dishwasher?

Remove the lower rack, twist out the lower filter and lift out the upper filter. Rinse both under warm water with a soft brush, then reinstall them firmly. Doing this every month or so prevents many problems.

Our Peachland dishwasher leaves a gritty film. Is it broken?

Not necessarily. Grit usually comes from well sediment or a clogged filter. Clean the filter and check your whole-house filter first. If the film continues, we can check whether the inlet valve screen is restricting water.

Rust stains appeared in our Polkton dishwasher. Is the tub rusting through?

Usually the color comes from iron in the water, not from the tub. Stainless and plastic tubs do not rust that way, though chipped racks can. We inspect the tub and racks and tell you plainly what we find.

Maytag Dishwashers: What We Check First

Maytag dishwashers are sold on cleaning muscle, with names like PowerBlast for a high-pressure, high-heat cycle and Dual Power Filtration for the two-stage filter in the tub floor. Under the badge they are Whirlpool-platform machines: a wash motor driving lower and upper spray arms, a separate drain pump, a heating element, a water inlet valve and a door latch with switches that tell the control the door is sealed. Some Maytag models add a stainless steel tub and a third rack, and older pre-acquisition Maytag dishwashers use completely different parts.

Dual Power Filtration screens packed with grease, gritty glassware
Drain pump impeller jammed by a pit or glass shard
Door latch switch failing, controls light up but cycle never starts
Heater or thermistor failure leaving PowerBlast cycles cold and wet

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Maytag dishwasher repair guide.

Sediment, Iron and the Dishwasher Inlet

Well water around Peachland and Polkton can carry fine sediment that settles in the dishwasher's inlet valve screen. As the screen clogs, the dishwasher takes in less water and dishes come out with a gritty film or food left on. Iron may leave rust-colored stains on the tub, racks and dishes, even when the dishwasher itself is fine.

Start with the parts you can reach. Turn the dishwasher off at its switch or breaker, remove the bottom rack, and rinse the filter at the base of the tub. Check whether a whole-house filter is overdue for a change, since a clogged one can lower the pressure reaching the kitchen. If the house has a water softener or iron filter, confirm it is working.

Our technician measures the fill, inspects the inlet valve, tests the drain pump and wash motor, and looks for leaks under the tub. If the valve or a pump needs replacing and is not on hand, we tell you the timing and the price before ordering.
