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 second dishwasher at the island in Myers Park barely gets used and now leaks. Why?

Dishwashers that sit idle can develop dried door gaskets, sticky inlet valves or pump seals that shrink. Running it periodically helps. The technician will find which part leaks and give you the price to fix it.

My dishwasher in an Elizabeth bungalow backs up into the sink. Is it the dishwasher?

Often the cause is the sink drain or disposal rather than the dishwasher. A clogged disposal inlet, a slow drain trap or a missing high loop on the hose can push water back. We check these first.

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.

Panel-Ready Units and Older Sink Plumbing

Myers Park kitchens frequently hide dishwashers behind cabinet panels, sometimes adding a second unit at an island. Panel-ready designs put the controls on the top edge of the door, and a stuck latch or a misaligned panel can keep the door from sealing. A second dishwasher that runs rarely may develop a sticky inlet valve or a dried-out seal.

In Elizabeth and Chantilly, the dishwasher is often installed beside a sink whose drain plumbing has been modified through several remodels. An older drain trap, a disposal with a clogged inlet or a hose without a high loop can cause backups and odors. A dishwasher fitted into an older cabinet run may also sit slightly out of level, which affects how the door seals.

Clean the tub filter, run the disposal before starting, and check for a kinked hose with the power off. If water appears on the floor, turn off the supply valve. The technician tests the pump, valve, latch and controls and explains the price before work.
