The moment I saw what was hiding under my filter grate I almost passed out
So I'm over at my buddy's place last Sunday helping him figure out why his Whirlpool smells like a dead mouse. He'd been ignoring it for like 2 months. I pop the bottom spray arm off and pull the filter grate and there's this thick layer of grey sludge and food bits packed in there. Like a solid quarter inch of gunk. I scraped it all out with an old toothbrush and soaked the parts in vinegar for 20 minutes. After that the smell was gone and the dishes came out actually clean. I went home and checked mine that night and sure enough same nasty situation. Has anyone else found horror show stuff under their filter after years of not touching it?

You ever think about all the mysterious smells you just accepted in life and wrote off as normal? I had the same thing happen and realized my dishwasher was basically a slow cooker for ancient food particles. Honestly kind of impressive how much gunk can hide in plain sight.
