Cleaning your Frigidaire dishwasher may not be something that you think about but it is a task that you need to consider doing every time you unload your dish-washing unit. Most people assume that the inside of the dishwasher stays cleaned because it is constantly running through a wash and rinse cycle, sometimes at high sterilizing temperatures. However, in reality, the food that is washed off of the dishes and utensils end up clinging to the inside of the dishwasher or at the drain. The result is a buildup that over time can restrict how clean your dishes get and how thorough it washes. In fact, those particles of food that come off the plates or utensils may get stuck on the side of the dishwasher wall and then peeled off again the next time you wash a load and washed right onto a plate where it will stay…yuck! Because regular cleaning of the Frigidaire dishwasher is mandatory in keeping a clean dishwasher, it is important that you learn the proper way to clean your dishwasher. Here are a few tips to help you do that.

Wash Regularly

You want to prevent the build up from inside the washer. If you use your Frigidaire dishwasher on a regular basis, you will be preventing any buildup from occurring. Each time a cycle is run through the dishwasher, it flushes out the debris and keeps it from hardening on the bottom and sides of the washer.

Empty the Frigidaire Dishwasher

Before you do any work on your dishwasher, run the washer through a cycle and then empty all dishes inside. This will help you to work on the dishwasher more efficiently and perform necessary maintenance.

Inspect & Clean the Spinning Arms

The sprayer arms have an important job to do during a cycle. They are in charge of distributing water in a rapid pace all around the dishwasher, getting areas that are hard to reach with just a simple spray of the water at the beginning of the cycle. If the arms are not spinning the way that they should be, you will want to clean the debris that may be trapped inside blocking the water from coming out of each of the holes. An appliance repair technician in San Diego County can clean these holes by using a wire or a toothpick.

Clean the Edges and Exterior

The dishwasher can develop a smell that can be very offensive if it is not dealt with. The smell can also end up on your dishes that you just cleaned. The smell however, could also be coming from the outside as well. It is important that you take a wet dish cloth and go around the door of the dishwasher after each cycle. Wash all the buttons on the outside as well as the front of the door. Doing this after unloading the dishwasher is a good habit to get into.It is a good idea to get into the habit of washing up underneath the door, the flatware basket, the rubber gasket, and the detergent dispenser as well.
