Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dishes may not clean properly when the filter is clogged or heavily soiled.
• Food residue or odor may develop when debris remains trapped in the filter.
• Drainage issues or standing water may occur when filter debris restricts the drainage path.

Check Before Replacing

• Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower rack for access.
• Visually inspect the installed filter for heavy food buildup, warping, cracks, tears, or other damage.
• Rinse removable filter components under warm running water and use only a soft brush or non-abrasive sponge.
• After cleaning, reinstall the filter assembly and confirm it is fully seated and secured before operating the dishwasher.
• If drainage problems remain after the filter is clean and correctly installed, inspect other drainage components or consult a qualified technician.
