Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today the Beko dishwasher how to remove and
clean the filter right let's get cracking first thing you must do is switch off the dishwasher
at the mains and unplug it then make sure you put the kettle on so you can have a lovely cup of tea
and then you're going to need your partner's toothbrush for cleaning [Wife] 'Lurgs have you
been using my toothbrush for cleaning the dishwasher', this is the Beko dishwasher
here and I've been asked to have a look at this because it wasn't draining water and there's a bit
of a flood on the floor so open up the door and the first thing to do is remove the bottom tray
that literally just wheels out nice and easy just place that somewhere on the floor oh
hello Daisy we've got a bit of an audience wondering what I'm doing you can see we've
got a little bit of dirt in here in the bottom but we'll get to that in a minute then you can
remove the lower spray arm that literally just unclips and pops out then to remove the filter
you're turning it anti-clockwise now this might be a bit stiff if it's got lots of dirt in it
so just turn it anti-clockwise about 45 degrees and then lift it outwards
that can then be put in a washing up bowl in the sink ready to be washed now this one's actually in
pretty good condition but that can be absolutely disgusting and covered in dirt and grease and
blobs of fat this filter mechanism has also got an inner filter this just easily removes by just
lifting it outwards then just fill up a washing up bowl with hot soapy water ready to give it all
a good clean there's a link above now about how to keep your washing machine hygienically fresh
and this is the locking mechanism at the bottom so as you turn it it locks underneath and I'll
show you that later on when I put it back in next thing we need to do is just remove the gauze layer
here so just lift that up and if we turn it over you can see there's lots of dirt and fat on here
and lots of dirt underneath so we need to give that a really good clean
so take the dirt from this gauze layer first of all just get that into the dustbin you don't
want to wash that in the sink because then you'll be unblocking your sink
so just get as much dirt off as you can you might want to wear some rubber gloves for this procedure
so just some hot soapy water and just get rid of all that dirt and debris
there's a link above now about how to defrost your freezer in under 15 minutes
after a good clean this is what the items should look like next thing we'll do is get rid of all
the dirt and debris inside the dishwasher here I'm just using my fingers for this
that might be easier just with a small teaspoon or something
to just get as much dirt as you can then take your partner's toothbrush again
and just use that to dislodge any bits of dirt and grime which are wedged in
so what you're basically doing is you're just getting rid of as much dirt as you can
so this is nice and clean ready for the next wash now you can see in the middle there there's lots
of standing water where the filter came out from and we'll get to that in a few seconds
what you need now is a sponge and you're putting that sponge in there and soaking up all the water
from where that filter came from so you're basically draining this off if you've got a bigger
sponge that will obviously be easier to just keep going until all that water is out of the drainage
area there's a link above now about how to fix your sticking curtains on the curtain rails really
good tip now you can see already we've got lots of dirt down here and there's a it looks like there's
a bit of plastic in there as well so you can see why this dishwasher has not been draining properly
so this will affect your dishwasher cleaning and you could get flooding in your kitchen
I'm just going to pick this out now this is one of those rubber feet that's come off of
a plate stand or something like that so that's not going to do the dishwasher any good at all
and that could easily block the impeller now in the bottom here we've got lots of dirt and debris
I'm just going to use my partner's toothbrush again but it might be easy to start with
to just use a long teaspoon in here or two teaspoons wedged together just to get as much
dirt and debris and fat balls out as you can now I'm going to try and get my fingers in
here but I've got quite big hands and it's very difficult with my sausage fingers to try and
get out any bits of dirt so whatever tools you can get in here to get out that
fat and dirt just use whatever you've got at your disposal to just get as much as you can out
you've got a small hole in here that's where the impeller is which does all the drainage
so you put your fingers in there see if you can get any more dirt out of there
or any bits of debris which might be blocking the impeller sometimes you get bits of glass
or bits of china or sometimes bits of sweet corn or any bits of food
so you're basically just making this as immaculate as possible so it's really sparkling clean there's
no dirt left there's a link above now about how to clean your uPVC guttering so it stays clean
hot soapy water
giving it a good clean
it's already smelling a lot fresher
and what we'll do is after we've put the filter back and everything
we'll run a hygienically fresh washing programme that's where you put in a dishwasher cleaner
I'm just going to clean the inside of the dishwasher here just get rid
of any other bits of dirt which are laying about
now I'm going to put the gauze back this is really simple it just literally just lays in there
we'll just put the inner filter into the outer filter now the inner lugs here clip into the
outside of the outer filter here so you just push that down and it should just clip into place
this one seems to have shrunk a tiny bit and won't clip in but it should clip into place
and hold that filter in place, and the locking grooves are just here so you're letting that just
push down and then you're turning it clockwise until it locks in under those grooves so just let
it settle down you'll notice that inner filter has worked its way loose again I'll try to clip that
back into position before I put the basket back in and you should feel it grip and then just tighten
it in and then as soon as those arrows are lined up that means it's locked into position fabulous
then we can put the lower spray arm back in now these very rarely get blocked but you
can check this just by running some water into the hole there in the middle there
and turning it upside down at either end and the water should just pour out nice and freely
so put that back in just pop it down spin it round there we go then take your dishwasher cleaner
there's lots of different ways of doing this and different makes on this one we just take the label
off the top remember to plug the dishwasher back in and switch it back on so we're laying
the dishwasher cleaner in the plate tray and it's just got a bit of wax on the bottom so as it heats
it up all the dishwasher cleaner comes out and cleans your dishwasher inside you should run the
dishwasher clean about every couple of months but obviously depends how much you use the dishwasher
and all dishwasher cleaners will remove grease fat and lime scale from your nozzles from your
filters and the spray arm and help clean the water pump and the drainage and it will help clean those
hard to reach places that you cannot reach makes it more environmentally friendly and extends its
service life so we're just going to put this one on number four setting which is the intensive wash
obviously there's nothing in it apart from the dishwasher cleaner now when it's doing the wash
it's definitely worth going outside when it does the drainage just to make sure that the water is
draining out the dishwasher properly this one is looking absolutely fantastic and when it's
finished a couple of hours later oh you can just smell the difference brilliant nice and clean in
here and then it's ready to actually do a proper dishwash filling it with your plates and cutlery
and also all that hard work has definitely made me thirsty for another cup of tea I
know I had one at the beginning but you just can't beat having a cup of tea oh
