Keeping your Samsung dishwasher filter clean is essential for optimal performance and sparkling dishes. Fortunately, the process is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Steps to Clean Your Samsung Dishwasher Filter
Cleaning your dishwasher filter helps remove food particles and debris that can clog the system and cause poor washing results or odors. Here is a straightforward guide based on the provided instructions:
- Remove the lower rack: Begin by pulling out the bottom dish rack to gain easy access to the filter area, usually located at the base of the dishwasher.
- Unfasten the filter compartment door: Locate the filter handle, typically in the center of the filter assembly. Rotate the handle counterclockwise. This action unfastens or unlocks the filter compartment door.
- Remove the filter components: First, remove the filter door (the top part you just unfastened). Then, remove the filter that is located underneath this door. The filter assembly usually consists of two parts: an upper filter and a lower micro-filter.
- Clean the components: Take the removed filter and the filter door to a sink. Carefully wipe away any trapped dirt, food particles, or other remains from both the filter and the filter door. You can use a brush or sponge and rinse them under running water if necessary (though the reference specifically mentions wiping).
- Reinstall the filter: Once clean, place the filter back into its position at the base of the dishwasher. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Reinstall the filter door: Place the filter door back on top of the filter. Rotate the handle clockwise until it fastens securely.
- Replace the lower rack back into the dishwasher.
Regularly cleaning your filter helps prevent buildup that can hinder drainage and spray arm function, ensuring your dishwasher runs efficiently.
