Dishwasher Cleaning and Showing Some Parts.

Now just doing a basic cleaning of the Potscrubber's interior, and showing some parts that I remove in the cleaning process. Still a nice and simple appliance all around!

[@CaritaXoXo]

I was really hoping to see how you actually remove the bolts etc that's holding all those things on, and that's the part you edited out of the video...

[@Sharkie626]

It's very easy, just need a nut driver. :)

[@bluelagoon8142]

@@Sharkie626 not easy for everyone and sometimes people need to see the type of tool and how to use it…

[@billythygoat]

@@bluelagoon8142 That’s what the manual is for! You can also learn by doing things hands on as well. Just make sure to record what you’re doing so in case you forget order you did things in. Also, make sure to organize the parts and screws/bolts. Assume all screws/bolts are different sizes so put them back exactly where they started at when reassembling. Then you get good at it and post it on KZbin with commentary or written description for others that share the issue/maintenance/building task.

[@carlal.9850]

@@bluelagoon8142 , you’re exactly right. And the arrogance of some “tech” in the comments to refer anyone to the manual is asinine. Why that’s why most people view how-to videos, to actually see how it’s done. 🙄

[@thenightporter]

@@carlal.9850 I wish I had known to take Dramamine before viewing the video. Seriously! I mean he could have at least duct-taped his phone to a ball cap and filmed that way.

[@reevaa9522]

thanks, ive lived in this condo (rented) for 5 years and we have the exact same dishwasher, It has been serviced though when it was leaking and I am very particular with food going into it (like none does!)

[@Sharkie626]

Glad it helped ya some! It's always good to get rid of food scraps before putting dishes in, but just that. I never pre-rinse my stuff.

[@rsanford100]

I have the same dishwasher, GE Potscrubber 580. It was installed in 2002 and is still working fine. The 580 must have been the basic model of the line because it does not have a self-cleaning filter in the back. Anyway it is still going strong.

[@Sharkie626]

Yeah that could be the one we had back when. Glad it's still working. Keep it as long as possible!

[@MsJespa]

How do you get those screws off?

[@beejajava2889]

really, skipped that part!

[@joycehuntington7390]

That's where I'm confused... How do they come off.

[@donnaspear8311]

Thank you for this video. It has saved me $185.00. I thought I would have to call a plumber! 😢 Glad for the advice.

[@Sharkie626]

Sure thing! Glad it could be of some help to ya!

[@karenthomas5304]

Do you have to unplug the dishwasher or trip the breaker before doing this?

[@toyota-eh3ub]

I’m really surprised at how clean it is, especially being almost 30 years old. Looks like that “self cleaning filter” does a pretty good job of cleaning itself. I was expecting it to be much nastier, from food and other crumbs that build up over time, but it turned out pretty good. Is this washer similar to the one in the LI house that was replaced with the Triton XL? I love it either way, but it’d just be even better if it was exactly the same. Looking forward seeing the rest!

[@Sharkie626]

Yep! This is very similar to our original one. Only differences was ours did not have the top spray arm, or that filter system.

[@Desibfit4life]

Is there anyway to take of that piece that’s at the front to the left just moved into a town house and there is gross stuff that is coming out of the bottom of the piece

[@jumpercable20]

My old Ge dishwasher looks exactly like that one, the piece you pulled off in the back should have 4 1/4 inch screws in it, mine did. my screens in the back were clean as was the piece you pulled out behind the rotating sprayer. I'll clean everything reachable with a toothbrush and run a cycle of vinegar through it. I don't know how old this dishwasher is but I've been a maintenance man most of my life and I've found just a little bit of maintenance once or twice a year can help appliances last for years and years. If you have one of these dishwashers look in the left and right front corners, there should be a black rubber seal on each side. I believe these seal the front door when closing. I found that mine had disappeared over the years, then I developed a leak, I bought replacement seals and now I'm good to go for another 5 to 10 years.

[@JamesWolfsbane]

Do I need disconnect the machine from power supply? because Its very hard to remove the machine from cabinet

[@jumpercable20]

@@JamesWolfsbane The electrical connection is usually under the dishwasher and should be just behind the bottom panel, to be on the safe side. Turn the dishwasher on and look for the correct breaker in your fuse box, 120 usually won't kill you but why risk it? Have someone scream to you when you've found the right breaker.

[@JamesWolfsbane]

@@jumpercable20 i didn’t know it was under the dish washer machine. Thank you!

[@jaykay18]

Wow, this is great, you're really stringing the dishwasher twerps along! I don't know if you did any testing of it outside, but I most certainly would have before it went in the house. Sure, there's concrete down there, but I mean you could take the hose to the whole thing if you wanted to outside. Like Joe and I did with the washer.

[@Sharkie626]

I wonder if they'll ask me if the neutral drain was fixed. The only thing I really did outside was clean off the exterior the same way I cleaned the interior here. I guess I figured that if I was inside, I didn't have to worry about things like weather and daylight.

[@jaykay18]

@@Sharkie626 Har har! "Ooh, does it have speeds? Like one time, we had a 10 speeder!"

[@beckeebailey141]

Thank you. Was able to clean my machine after seeing how to disassemble.😎

[@Sharkie626]

Glad it was able to help some! It was actually unintended, but hey that's still good!

[@dynatrak]

Should be fine once you fully recap it, oil the motor with the blue can, and replace the neutral drain kit, jk. It cleaned up nicely, looking forward to the test. Haven't heard a GE dishwasher in years!

[@Sharkie626]

Yeah wasn't all that bad inside. You'll hear some of it soon!

[@PeggySimmons-gn2pb]

The video is helpful. It would be good to know the type and size of tool we need in order to remove the bottom drain cover and for you to show that it has to be unscrewed.

[@tessarooker491]

can i run it without these pieces to clean the pump out?

[@JamesWolfsbane]

Do I need disconnect the machine from power supply? because Its very hard to remove the machine from cabinet

[@alyssadelgado8232]

I did find a single piece of broken glass in the plastic filter above the hole, however the hole has no glass in it but it is completely filled with water

[@Sharkie626]

If you mean the sump, that should have water in it, that water prevents the seals form drying out.

[@heather_bee]

Do I just need a Phillips head to remove the screws?

[@melindaakin88]

What about the one on the inside of the door? How does that come off? Mine really needs cleaned!

[@Sharkie626]

Hmm? What one on the inside of the door?

[@34LOLWTF]

I'm 25 and my folks bought a potscrubber 900 a month after I was born. It just recently quit, and with doing a continuity test I think all it needs is the water inlet valve. Fingers crossed.

[@Sharkie626]

Hope it’s nice and simple!

[@carlykemp772]

Hi! I have a dishwasher similar to this and I recently took some of these parts off looking for how to clean it. When I took off the white basket cover and then pulled the plastic piece out it was full of dirty water. What does that mean? Do I have a clog somewhere?

[@Sharkie626]

That sounds totally normal. There will always be some water in the sump to prevent the seals from drying out.

[@mariewagner5283]

Ours I think is older or less flashy than this model bc we don't have the screened filter against the back wall. Or any part .... There is some sort of screen under the spray arm axis though??? Any ideas????

[@rsanford100]

I have the same model as you, I believe what you are seeing is the opening where the water is pumped from the dishwasher. I dont think our model has a filter, I've never cleaned one for over 22 years!

[@tex.45]

What size socket takes the bolts to the cover off?

[@mikemulligan5001]

Should be 1/4 inch

[@yosef8377]

Can anyone please help me find the filter for the hotpoint hda2000g02ww dishwasher??

[@bartskid9235]

That's the one..Thank you so much,!!

[@RukhShariq]

I just opened mine. Had a mini attack. I was screaming 😱

[@Sharkie626]

Pretty dirty inside?

[@saragale8699]

That’s what I’m about to do 😩😳

[@michaelremillard2215]

The inside of my GE portable looks exactly like this one on the inside, same detergent cups, and very dated door latch. It's only 4 years old. With a manual timer too. It's like they went and scrounged a bunch of outdated parts and wrapped a cabinet on wheels 😳

[@Sharkie626]

I'm sure it'll work well though!

[@michaelremillard2215]

@@Sharkie626 it does! I bought 2 , one for me and one for the apartment upstairs, a little pricey tho.

[@jonb3201]

I'm cleaning the dishwasher filters in my apt dishwasher and noticed I don't even have that larger back "self clean filtering system" piece and I'm having trouble finding a replacement. Would you happen to know the part number for that bad boy?

[@Sharkie626]

Your model might not have it. Some lower ones didn't have that system.

[@mariewagner5283]

Same situation here 😢

[@daniellemartell386]

Ok so the little thing poking up in the back filter in the middle of the circle I was cleaning the grit and paricles around it it pushed down ..... 🤦 Now what ?! does it go up and down or did I screw it up am I going to be getting water all over the floor when I turn this thing on?

[@Sharkie626]

I don't quite understand what ya mean.

[@gman9035]

I still have the potscrubber 600. Is it normal for some water to be at the bottom after a wash?

[@Sharkie626]

Yep! That water is there to prevent the seals from drying out.

[@JessicaBundy93]

The issue I'm encountering is not knowing how to "unscrew" those pieces?

[@gymnasticseditss813]

this was the legitimate hardest part, you have to use a ratchet!

[@princessaz79]

Thanks for the video. I learned on TikTok that dishwashers have filters. I’m going to be cleaning mine now.

[@Sharkie626]

Sure thing! Good to keep those maintained!

[@undisputedfxchamp4003]

@ Princessaz79 Do you have IG?

[@jumpercable20]

I believe one is for water in and the other is for water out, but I don't know which is which.

[@diegofouche]

My dish washer machine have dirty water there, but its very difficult to remove th machine from inside the cabinet becuase its small tight apartment, Do I need to disconnect the power supply to do this?

[@Sharkie626]

Yeah, you should disconnect that and possibly the water supply as well.

[@williamcornelison4721]

So why would water be resting at the bottom of washer after a cycle?

[@Sharkie626]

It just does naturally, plus it is there to prevent the water seals from drying out.

[@augdawg66]

Thanks

[@humairaziauddin5382]

I have same dishwasher and I feel water is not draining fully so I open to clean it but there is nothing no gunks when I clean it and put the things back and start it water start coming out the I open it aging but everything is fine nothing wrong I don't understand why this happened? Do anybody have any clue please let me know?

[@Sharkie626]

There will always be just a little water left in the sump, but you want that, it prevents the seals from drying out.

[@gamingwithjaylenofficial2265]

how come the spray tower doesnt sit in the inside of the arm all the way?

after you opened the filter that was bolted down, theres like a tub of water. is that supposed to be full? Further, can you take it out to clean it? mine wont seem to come out after ive peeled the suctioned perimeter

Do you mean that sump? There should be water in there so it prevents the seals from drying out :) It is a bit tricky to take it out.

What if it just isn't draining

[@Sharkie626]

Drain valve solenoid might be bad, or there could be a blockage in the drain hose.

[@petermaz701]

Really coming along, I’m sure it will work for you. They sell Dishwasher cleaning tablets once you know it works. You could run a couple of cycles with them to clean out inner workings.

[@Sharkie626]

Oh yeah I was considering that actually! Once everything is all set, I'll see about getting something like that.

[@tallboyyyy]

I fully expect it to work perfectly. Probably another case of someone swapping out older appliances because they don't have any blue ErrEeeDees.
