Take apart and Cleaning of Maytag dish washer (MDB4949SDZ0)

the cleaning efficiency of the Maytag dish washer (Model number MDB4949SDZ0, type: 577-1) was compromised, so I took it apart and cleaned each part. There is more debris than i expected. Hope this could help you a little bit in any way.

So glad I found this video. You explained every step perfectly and it was easy to follow along. I had my dishwasher taken apart, cleaned and put back together in less than 30 min! Thank you! 🙌

3:42 I love your kid asking if you know what you're doing! 🤣

[@carolyoungdale6500]

Along with all the others, I want to thank you so much for making this video. I really appreciated the close ups of the clips that you did so I knew exactly where to press. Tell your kid you are a super star!! I found a small piece of hard plastic, along with a pretty big chunk of glass, along with all the guck! Done in less than an hour and now the dishwasher is running an empty cycle to clean up the washing I did inside the dishwasher. Again - thank you so much!!

[@rosebud679]

Excellent video & I love your little helper's comments!

[@webjunkie2012]

Thank you very much Yong. Your video is very detailed and lot of help. I was about to spend $1200 on new dishwasher but you saved me the $$$$$. I never knew if my Maytag can be cleaned and was grossed to find out why it wasn't cleaning well. Thanks Again for your help.

The real valuable information is at 5:40 and that little rubber flapper after having my spray arms clogging for over two years this man shows what 4 repair man couldn’t find. My rubber flapper was broken off. Seven days until I get the new part , part #w10591540, so I I am temporarily reattaching the flipper with gorilla glue I don’t know how to work.

[@Katechop]

Thank you for making this! Far more helpful than any other videos on the topic.

[@bobbimackleit8175]

Super easy to follow and I definitely could not have done this without the video. Thank you!

[@nolajoe7053]

Great service you're doing. Especially now with folks trying to survive. Thanks.

[@KelsHoag]

Just a comment to help others: the screen on the accumulator (big circle piece) looks like it comes off to be cleaned inside. Instead it’s glued on so if you try to pry it off like I did, you will need to order a replacement part!

[@ChristopherSpainhour]

Thank you because I was trying to figure out how to take it apart! Thank you!!

[@eileenb3807]

I'll have to order a replacement at some point because mine is nasty inside.

[@maryannnichols1043]

Thank you! You provided a lot of important details! I think I’m ready to tackle mine now!

[@BrillBard]

Thank you for an excellent video with simple instructions and great visuals. You have made the experience of dismanteling and cleaning deris from various parts to access a gunky debris filled filled filter quick and painless!

[@michelletucker5586]

Thank you for making this video❤ I followed the instructions all by myself and my Dishwasher is cleaner than ever. 😀

[@rebeccasmall1551]

Yong, so much gratitude to you for taking the time to make this video. This was so helpful.

[@shelbyhiser7664]

Thank you so much for posting this video with all the details included!!

[@milissarichardson6055]

I love your helpers comments! 😊

[@jaguar515]

Appreciate the info. Just cleaned it and lesson learned. Wife left salmon skin and clogged up filter. Pump made a loud buzzing sound bc it wasnt recieving enough water similar to a pool pump without water.

[@GlitterSpitters101]

Thank you so much for this video!!! Helped me more than any other video to learn how to clean my dishwasher

[@BrigitteWardwell]

Thanks for the video, I have done the filter before but not the other two parts on the bottom. I have a tip for what I do when cleaning the fine screen. I soaked and gently scrubbed and rinsed until is was all released. It took a couple of try's to get it all off. Great video!

[@phyllisscott2343]

perfect! great up close shots - detail is excellent!

[@huddlenan]

Thank you soooooooooooo much!! I did everything you said to do in your video and now my dishwasher is like new again!!

[@noavana]

So helpful! Thank you so much for the taking the time to take this video! I'm saving it for future cleaning :)

[@tonioceans7727]

Thank you so much for this video!! My dishwasher was so dirty. How do I clean the inside of the round filter that has the mesh film on it? I can't seem to get in there properly.

[@caroljahnke8263]

Great help, I didn't even know those two things you turn counterclockwise came out. Thank you

[@qdmaryyin3612]

THANK YOU! Most detailed step by step cleaning!

[@fyrfytr9925]

Leaking dishwasher fixed! Thanks VERY much!

[@KirchemBlog]

Very well done tutorial. I love the detail.

[@alinagershuny-jadduroy7452]

Really helpful. Thank you! I love your little helper in the background too. Just think of it this way, next time you can get her to clean it too since she knows so much about it now.😊

[@forrest280z]

Thanks for this, made my dishwasher repair and cleaning much easier.

[@LastWordExisting]

Great video! I just took mine apart (same model!) It is a pain in the butt to take it apart/put it together when I WASN'T trying to record the process...LOL GREAT JOB! GREAT VIDEO!

[@ph36061]

Wow awesome video most detail on Maytag Dishwasher I have ever seen. Thanks so much

[@noneyerbidness]

Wow, thanks for really getting down into it!!! Great video. Now, I'm afraid what I'm going to find when I do mine. hahah

[@maryannnichols1043]

Thanks to your excellent video, I was able to clean mine out! Thank you!

[@LuckyNancy7116]

Thanks for making this video, mine is older than yours but looks very similar.

[@Bahahahahaha._.ahhh_sigh]

Thank you soooo very much! Just a few pieces of stuck shredded chicken can really kick up a stink! We don’t eat a lot of stringy beef but I bet it would do the same. Like other commenters, I struggled but never really got the non-removable filter/screen clean.

[@melissaadams007]

Thank you so much saving a single mom at least 400$

[@rogercaouette6248]

THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU YONG LIANG.

[@sonys-dq2yo]

Thanks for this video! I was able to take mine apart and omg it was GROSS!! 😆

[@GolfGuns]

Very helpful Yong. Thanks for sharing.

[@marie-andreemongeau7045]

Thanks for the vidéo! I just dont get how you clean the mesh thing… it does not open dans gunk is still stuck inside

[@cchat3491]

Thanks for this video. I have this exact model. Does it allow the upper rack to be adjusted down to a lower position?

[@yongliang3397]

I double checked and can confirm it couldn't be lowered. First there is no mounting point, second if it lowered the water inlet for shelf/rack will be off the position.

[@donnahasler6636]

Does anyone know how to get the fine fabric filter clean?? There’s debris trapped inside but it doesn’t seem to come apart.

[@yongliang3397]

I just use high pressure spray tap water blowing it back and forth. It took some time, but works

[@donnahasler6636]

Thank you!!

[@rewilderlife4942]

Thank you!!! Helped so much.

[@simplieshine]

Darn! I just put mine back together then saw your video. I had zero i dea of those two parts on the bottom😢

Excellent review - Maytag doens't address any of this in their manual :(

[@emilymoline]

Vary helpful video. Thanks

[@scottcarlberg7417]

Great video! Thanks!

[@PoutinePete]

Great job! Thanks 👍

[@kylacb]

😊

[@donnahasler6636]

Please help! 😬 When I put the fine screen disk back in then the water pipe, the pipe presses down on one side of the disk, lifting up the front side of the disk from the pressure of the pipe. This causes the water spinner to rub on the metal cap. What am I doing wrong? All the small tubes are lined up correctly

[@yongliang3397]

If i understand correctly, Two things i could would check. First, is the base properly installed? Check video at 4: 38. It need a twist to fully secure in the position. Second. Is the tube completely plugged in and all the clips are working properly. Hope it helps!

[@donnahasler6636]

I’ll check it all again thank you!!

[@andreawieczorek1860]

Omg THANK YOU!

[@NicholasT-f9n]

You need water softener, your municipal water supply is hard.
