Key Features

• Pump Protection:Acts as a primary barrier to keep large particles from entering the drain pump and wash motor, reducing the risk of internal clogs and mechanical damage.
• Precision Molded Frame:Constructed from high-temperature, food-grade plastic to maintain its shape and seal integrity through hundreds of high-heat wash cycles.
• Improved Flow Design:Engineered to facilitate optimal water passage while maximizing debris retention, ensuring consistent spray arm pressure.

When to Replace

• Torn Mesh:Visible holes or fraying in the fine-mesh screen, which allows debris to bypass the filter and clog the spray arms.
• Odors:Persistent foul smells coming from the dishwasher, indicating that food particles have become trapped in a degraded filter frame.
• Poor Cleaning Results:"Grit" or sandy residue left on glassware after a cycle, caused by recirculated debris.
• Cracked Housing:The plastic frame is warped, cracked, or no longer sits flush in the pump housing.
• Slow Drainage:The dishwasher fails to drain completely or leaves standing water due to a heavily restricted or collapsed filter cup.

Installation Tips

• Safety First:Ensure the dishwasher is powered off before reaching into the bottom of the tub.
• Accessing the Filter:Most models require removing the bottom dish rack and rotating the center spray arm or filter assembly counter-clockwise to unlock it.
• Deep Cleaning:While the filter cup is removed, inspect the sump area for large debris like glass shards or toothpicks that may be blocking the pump inlet.
• Correct Seating:Align the tabs on the new filter cup with the slots in the pump housing; push down firmly until it clicks or locks into place.
• Maintenance:To extend the life of your new filter, rinse it under warm running water once a month to remove grease and mineral buildup.
