So I noticed that there was some gunk around the plastic filter when I opened the dishwasher and started to remove it with my fingers and a spoon. There wasn't much, but I wanted to be thorough. There was a spot blocked by the mount of the spinning blades, so I just removed the whole plastic filter. @!!@!@!@ There was an inch of gunk caked to the underside of it. Gross. I don't know if it was mold or food or just a nice slurry of both. I took the whole thing out and then removed the back filter, which is paper thin, and found the same thing.
I've only lived in this condo for 1.5 years, and I never bothered to check it before, but now I'm going to check it every 6 months.
I cleaned everything with bleach, and now I am running a short cycle with bleach. After that, one more cleaning with a sponge and bleach and then I'll run a regular cycle.
Merry Christmas,
Chris
