Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel I'm here to save you time and money and today it's
the Bosch dishwasher how to remove the filter give it a good clean and then we'll also check
the impeller the propeller which actually pumps out the water make sure there's no debris in there
right let's get cracking the first thing you need to do is switch it off at the mains and
unplug the dishwasher plug and you're probably going to need your partner's toothbrush for
cleaning [Wife] 'Lurgs have you been using my toothbrush for cleaning the dishwasher?' Um no!
This is the Bosch dishwasher here so just open up the front door first thing you need to do is
remove the bottom basket this literally just rolls out and you can also remove the top basket if you
want to you don't have to do this but it will just make it a bit easier for the access to the filter
this literally just lifts up and off and there's a link above now about
how to adjust the basket height on this Bosch dishwasher okay so the filter is
here and when these two arrows are lined up that means that it's locked into position
now to remove the filter you literally just turn it anti-clockwise about 90 degrees
and then you just lift it upwards now depending on how clean your dishes are when you put them
in the dishwasher depends how dirty this filter is now we're pretty careful with our dishwasher
but that is pretty disgusting if you don't clean off your dishes before you put them in
this will get clogged up on a weekly basis now this filter element just literally just pops off
this makes it a little bit easier just to give it a good clean now don't clean it straight into
the sink otherwise you'll be watching a video on how to unblock your sink so take your partner's
toothbrush and just get off as much dirt and debris and put that straight in the rubbish bin
likewise with the cover here just get as much of that off as you can
this is just general grease and fat pretty disgusting
then fill up your sink with some hot soapy water again take your partner's toothbrush
and just give this a really good scrub so it's coming out sparkling clean
now I don't need to show you all this footage so I'll just cut this footage short but you're
basically just making sure this is in tip-top condition before we put it back
now before we put it back we're going to check the impeller just to make sure that isn't blocked
now this filter just literally just pushes back on and there we go it's in position
now before we put that back in we're just going to check the impeller so take an old
sponge and just get rid of any excess water inside here and just squeeze that into a
bucket while I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to add salt
to this Bosch dishwasher it's really important to add salt if you live in a hard water area
so just drain that out completely as much as you can
and then to get to the impeller or propeller you just need to remove this plastic clip here
so just take a blunt instrument don't take anything sharp I've just got this teaspoon here
and what you're doing is you're gently prizing it outwards until that clip comes out and then you
can just lift it upwards and outwards and then we should be able to see the impeller slash propeller
and there it is at the bottom now the prime suspect for blockages in here is broken bits
of china bits of glass or sweetcorn and bits of food now this one is actually pretty good but
here's another one from another dishwasher that I serviced and you can see here it's got bits of
hair in it and an old raisin so I've just got my partners I think their eyebrow clippers or eyebrow
removers I don't know what they are anyway I'm just using those to get out any bits of debris
if you can't get access to any of the debris try just getting rid of as much water as you
can so it's nice and dry and then just get your vacuum cleaner nozzle and just use that
don't forget to put your partner's eyebrow remover eyelash remover things back whatever
they're called now to put this clip back in it literally just slides down
and then just pops in whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to add
Rinse Aid to your Bosch dishwasher that will keep your glasses and plates sparkling clean
well we can now put the filter back in don't try and force it this should just lay in very easily
there we go
and then to lock it in just turn it clockwise about 90 degrees until those arrows line up
that is all nicely locked in fabulous there's a link above now about how to keep your Bosch
dishwasher hygienically fresh and then don't forget to put your partner's toothbrush back
and hope they don't notice then we can put the trays back in
and we're ready to use the dishwasher again
just going to put the top basket back on and then I think it's definitely time for a cup of tea!
