Some people think dishwashers do all the work. but in order for them to clean your dishes sometimes you need to clean them. 

So if you're noticing a nasty smell when you open your dishwasher or when you're seeing food particles that are ending up where they shouldn't be at the end of a wash cycle it might be time to clean your filter now.

But how to clean them, the first thing you do is slide out the rack and if it's in your way you can just lift it up and get it out of there.

We're looking at a KitchenAid dishwasher right here and this is fairly typical it's gonna differ a little bit from model to model and from brand to brand but the the process is pretty much.

The same across the board first thing we're gonna do is, remove the upper assembly here the fine mesh filter I'm gonna turn it counterclockwise just a little bit and it lifts straight out.
