I have fixed the pump that drains the washer. Completely dissembled and cleaned the whole dang machine. Replaced the the food disposal. Faucet replaced as well. I feel a little versed on this matter as I know my way around a kitchen. As long as it is not too dirty you can chuck that shit in the washer. Just clean the filter between washes. Use the cheep detergent tabs and get the cheap knock off jet dry and you are golden. If the shit stinks check the hose that connects to the disposal and clean that shit.
