Clean the filter (twist and lift out), then check the drain impeller (the small blades under the spray arm). Remove visible debris.

💬 Save this for the next time your dishwasher backs up.

That standing water + funky smell = a slow drain clog. Here’s the fix in 60 seconds 👇

Grab a dishwasher unclogger (enzyme-based, not acid). ➡️ Remove big chunks from the filter. ➡️ Pour unclogger directly into the bottom drain. ➡️ Run a short hot cycle.

“That’s it. Water gone. Smell gone. Your dishwasher’s back in business.”
