Symptoms of a bad filter ball include:

• Dirty wash water that fails to fully sanitize dishes
• Cloudy rinse water that leaves behind streaks and residue 
• Excess food debris collecting in drainage areas 

This GE replacement filter ball is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dishwashers.
