DISHWASHER REVELATIONS

Learnt this the hard way , after a $150.00. call out fee for a professional to remove a half teaspoon of gunk from the drainpipe causing dishwasher blockage last week .  Thank you Cooper for your visit and the helpful tips !  ( Would have preferred a price-reduction but ....  😄😄 ) 

1. Use the dishwasher at least once a week to avoid particles from drying and hardening in the pipes.  Time for a mindset change semicentennials.  You are NOT wasting water !!
2. If there are no dishes even a 10 minute  "stop-start, spin-drain -dry"   cycle is effective.  
3. Instead of a rinse aid , throw in baking soda and vinegar to run and clean (when empty)
4. Rinse dirty plates and utensils before hand in a basin of water .  All it takes is a small amount of food over time to clog up pipes and prevent free-flow draining 
5. Switch between cycles to kickstart an instant drain effect.   
6. Feel free to open when in use , stop-start , even add in more plates if needed . No , the water will not come flying out , in most DW models .  
7. After use , keep the dishwasher slightly open, buffered by a thick towel , to dry out completely.
