https://housetricks.netlify.app/ Stop Overaying For Expensive Repair -- Save $5,000+ With Our Complete 👆Handbook With Hidden Features, Pro Tips, And The Money-Saving Hacks Most Owners Were Never Shown Gray water sitting in the bottom of your dishwasher usually doesn't mean it's dying. Often it's a packed filter or a clogged drain hose you can clear yourself with a bottle brush and white vinegar, before anyone quotes you $150 to $350 for a new drain pump. These are 11 things dishwasher repairmen don't want you to know about white vinegar. We cover the five-minute vinegar test that tells you if cloudy glasses are hard water film or permanent etching, the dishwasher filter nobody told you to clean, the blocked spray arm holes that leave food on the top rack, and number four, the standing water fix (filter, air gap, drain hose and garbage disposal) that can save you $300 or more. Then the right way to clean a dishwasher with vinegar, why vinegar and baking soda in the same cycle cancel each other out, the Whirlpool page that recommends vinegar and sells you its own cleaning tablets, what Consumer Reports found when it lab-tested the vinegar trick on cloudy glasses, and the cheap citric acid fix that works instead, plus what's actually inside Lemi Shine. We also go through the grime under the door seal that no cycle reaches, why vinegar doesn't belong in the rinse aid dispenser, what to pull out before any acid goes in, the rubber seals vinegar can damage, and how to tell when a dishwasher is really broken and whether it's worth repairing. Safety note: never run vinegar in the same cycle as a detergent with bleach, because acid and bleach together give off chlorine gas. Read your dishwasher manual first, and if it says no vinegar, don't use it. Never leave vinegar sitting in the tub overnight, and wipe rubber seals with plain water after vinegar. This video is general home-maintenance info, not professional repair advice. #WhiteVinegar #Dishwasher #CleaningHacks
