Did you know that your dishwasher has a filter and you need to clean it?


Is your dishwasher failing to clean your dishes? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Can’t remember or didn’t know there was a filter? You are not alone, many people don’t know that they should clean the filter periodically to keep their dishwasher running well, but it's easy and doesn't require any tools, this video will show you how. After cleaning, inspect the filter for damage and replace if needed, otherwise you may end up with a much more expensive problem like a failed circulation pump. If you need a new filter, these are too common replacements:

Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Roper dishwashers: GE, Hotpoint, Cafe, Profile, Monogram, and Haier dishwashers: Be sure to check your model number to verify that you are getting the right part (instructions in this video).

KitchenAid Advanced Clean Water Wash Dishwasher Filter Replacement and Pump Replacement

Image
Some KitchenAid dishwashers, like the mine in this video, use the Clean Water Wash System instead of a normal filter. You may think that the Clean Water Wash system doesn't have a filter, but it does. The advanced microfiltration is performed by permanently installed metal screen inside the pump. The dishwasher is supposed to automatically clean the filter and keep dirty food particles from recirculating in the wash. Unfortunately, these filters can become plugged or even develop a hole like mine did, which allows food particles to recirculate and leaves the dirty dishes at the end of the wash cycle. If you are wondering why are my dishes coming out dirty, check out this video. In this video I will show you how to replace the filter in a KitchenAid Clean Water Wash System dishwasher. You can do it yourself (DIY) and save money by not hiring a repairman. This video also shows you how to replace the KitchenAid dishwasher circulation pump completely. No more dirty dishes. Her...

Installing Large Format Tile Over Self Leveling Underlayment

Image
Part of our kitchen remodel project was installing a new floor.  We selected Heritage Cognac tiles from Porcelanosa .  These large format tiles measure 32 inches by 32 inches and weigh nearly 40 pounds each.  While this is not an easy tile to install, it can be DIY.  When installing large format tiles, which is any tile that measures more that 12 inches in one direction, there are some additional steps you need to take.  First is making sure that your sub floor is absolutely level.  My plywood subfloor was out of level by over an inch between the high and low spots.  I used Custom Building Products  LevelQuik RS to level the floor. What I love about LevelQuik RS is that you will be able to install tile directly on this surface in four hours as long as you pour at least 1/4 inch thick and use metal lath. This saves you the time and expense of installing Hardibacker or Schluter System Kerdi or Ditra. Here is a video shows you how to set leveling...

Honda Key Fob Battery Replacement

If  your Honda keyless remote battery is low, you will get a message on the dash that looks like this: Luckily it is easy to change the key fob battery yourself in just a few minutes. However, there is one trick you need to know to keep the circuit card and all of the buttons from falling out and giving you a real puzzle to put it all back together again. I will show you the trick in this video: Here is a link to where you can buy the exact same 2032 batteries that I used in this video on Amazon: I made this video with the key fob for my 2019 Honda Ridgeline, but the process is the same for any Civic, Pilot, Odyssey, Accord, Passport, CR-V or other vehicle made by Honda with a push-button start (keyless entry) in recent years.
