I've owned a piece of crap Maytag dishwasher for just over a year.
I've had 4 service calls so far because it doesn't clean well. I
leave residue on dishes -- particularly on glasses on top shelf.

Each time the service man found dog hair in the filter that covers the
grinder. He says that's to blame. It makes no sense to me. Yes we
have a hairy dog but we aren't the only ones who do. So I'm left with
the following questions.

1. Why do that have a very fine filter BEFORE the grinder. It's so
small that nothing of substance could ever be ground.

2. Would it hurt to remove the filter? What's the worst that could
happen -- the impeller gets matted up with hair?

3. Has anyone else had this problem.

4. Is their a cure other than just getting rid of it -- the
dishwasher, not the dog.

I see no reason to wash dishes BEFORE putting them in the dishwasher
go get everything off of them that's bigger than a grain of sand.

Residue is from water quality, try different soaps or a softner. Dogs
should not be washed in the dishwasher, plates should not go on the
floor and should be rinsed of food and dog hair first. How do you get
hair in a dishwasher, I have 3 that shed like falling leaves and never
had that issue.

In the dishwashers I've seen, the filter is there to filter the water
while it's being recirculated, collecting any particles. Then, when
the pump out begins, water is drawn from BEFORE the filter, taking
whatever collected there and sending it out through the grinder.

I would think hair could present a problem, because unlike the
expected food particles, it might get embedded in the filter so it
won't easily wash out. I guess I'm wondering how any significant
amount of dog hair can get in there to begin with. If you're putting
dog feeding dishes in there, the obvious solution is to wash those by
hand.

Have you called the Maytag helpline to ask them?

Our El Cheapo GE washer does the job just fine.

i can't imagine how the rest of the house looks if your actually getting DOG
HAIR in the dishwasher. Jeeeezzzeee.... shave that MF!!

Gotta be a troll. Imagine putting dishes with dog hair on them in
dishwasher. There's a joke about the dog called Cold Water, where old
man said dishes were washed by cold water.

I'm sure I'm not a troll and you're a moron. I've been on-and-off
hold for about an hour with Maytag. They say you should completely
rinse EVERY dish that goes in the dishwasher. So why bother to have
the darn thing? I have no idea how dog hair gets in their -- one
piece here and one piece there. 25 or 30 loads later the filter is
matted. I'm about to send the thing out the door with a big crash.

Gad to know that Maytag things you should rinse EVERYTHING first, then
wash in dishwasher, then re-rinse when they come out. What a waste of
time/water/energy. Every other dishwasher I've seen has handled hair
okay.

Now you know why Maytag is considered a POS.
Try escalating to THE sales manager. Tell he/she you are going to make
them famous via the Internet unless they give back your money.

We've had dogs for 30+ year and never had a problem with the DW and hair.
Nor have I ever heard of anyone else with that problem. I can only imagine
your house is a hairy mess or you get a slobbering hairy dog lick the plates
clean first and hair sticking on them. Thank you for not inviting me for
dinner at your place. Find the real problem and quit blaming Maytag.

Thank you. At least I dont have dog hair clogs in my dishwasher and i have
a dog and a cat (medium to long hair) and have had cats for neigh on 20
years now (long hairs) as well as maytags for diswashers. I do not
pre-rinse my dishes unless its pet bowl stuff.

What "gross"?

If I had a dishwasher that needed rinsed dishes I'd get a new one. My
2000-ish whirlpool isn't quite as 'hungry' as my 1970's Kenmore was-
but I've seen it eat lots of solubles like mashed potatoes, squash,
etc.

The trouble is dog hair is not soluble in water, or any common
household chemical, for that matter. I would just rinse dishes that
were around the dog to get any loose hair off before putting them in
ths dishwasher. I don't see how hair could getinto the machine unless
the dog crawls in at night to find a nice warm dark place to sleep.

Um, is the filter that's getting clogged something he could just take care
of himself, say, weekly?

As for pre-rinsing the manual says nothing about that except if you don't
plan to wash for a long time you should run a rinse cycle on the machine.
All it says is:

"Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before
washing."

This is from this manual. Not the most expensive Maytag.

....and that is done by PRE-RINSING the dishes off into the garbage
disposal in most areas. Dog hair counts as a hard item.

bull****. i've never (and will never) wash a dish before putting it in a
dishwasher. If you're going to do that, you might just as well dry it and
put it away.

Pat, Pat, Pat. Do we gotta tell you everything? Stick your bald head in
there. Close the door. Turn it on, but don't forget the soap and stuff to
make the dishes shiny. Your head bald head will act like a magnet and take
the hair out instantly.

Geez.

Steve

BTW, you only have one more chance to actually ask a relevant question, or I
will personally stick you in MY dishwasher and leave you there.

I'm sure you tried this already, but I usually run the faucet till hot water
comes out, then fire up the dishwasher. We have two shedding pooches, and
haven't had a problem with our mid-level Maytag.

Shave the dog.

I have a dog & a Maytag & don't have any of those problems. However, the
detergent you're using may make a difference. Get something where it lists
"enzymes" as an ingredient. Such detergents clean better.
