How to Remove a Dishwasher Filter?

Published in Appliance Maintenance 1 min read

Removing a dishwasher filter typically involves simply grabbing it and pulling it up. Here's a more detailed explanation:

The dishwasher filter is usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher, often in an area that might not immediately look like a filter housing.

  1. Locate the Filter: Look for a cylindrical or multi-part component at the base of the dishwasher interior.
  2. Grip and Pull: Once located, firmly grab the filter (or its handle if it has one). It may not be immediately obvious that it is the filter.
  3. Remove: Pull the filter straight up. In some dishwashers, there may be a secondary, smaller filter beneath the first. This can also be removed for cleaning.

Once removed, the filters can be washed before being replaced.
