ICK - what I found in the dishwasher

My washer isn't broken, but I did have rust on the tines of the bottom rack.
I used a product called ReRack to touched up the spots.
Second time I have done this in  2 years.
ReRack cost me maybe 6-7 dollars
A new rack is hundreds.
Touching up tines on dishwasher rack

BUT, while the rack was drying I decided to clean the filter.
I had never done it before so I was sure it needed it.
Took about 10-15 min online to research.
Then about 20 minutes to clean and put back together.
Umm, ICK
I found a candy wrapper and lots of stuff I couldn't identify.
But I now have a clean filter and hope it will extend the life of my dishwaher.
Removed sprayer arm to reach filter
Filter
ICK, stuff I found in the filter



The door had a filter too, more ICK found


Savings:  ReRack vs new rack = 100 to 200 dollars
Clean filter myself vs whirlpool tech 75.00 to 100.00 an hour
