IF there's a bad smell when you open your dishwasher and you can't seem to figure out why, there's a hidden feature you might be missing.

An appliance expert has shared the hidden part of your dishwasher that you should be cleaning.


TikTok user Matthew Peech revealed the hidden secret behind your dishwasher's bottom panel.

The appliance expert filmed his own machine to give viewers a first hand look at the handy feature.

Lifting the bottom rack out of his dishwasher, Matthew examined the bottom of his machine.

Underneath the sliding rail, he lifted out a hidden filter, which he referred to as having a "primary screen."

He added: "Both [the filter and the screen] need regular cleaning to prevent problems."

Matthew's followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the secret feature.
