Mike for Model Number 66516034401 for the last couple of weeks the copper screen is plugging solid. The first time it happened we had dumped some cooked rice in the machine and it plugged solid. I removed the chopper, cleaned the screen, and the washer cleaned ok. since then, I've noticed that the washer is doing a very poor job of cleaning, sometimes we run the same dishes thru 3 times. I can tell that it seems to be a water circulation problem. When I clean the chopper screen the washer does an ok job. Do you think we may have a pump problem, or could the chopper be worn, and that's causing the screen to plug? everytime I remove the chopper, the screen is plugged solid.
Answer Mike, What type of debris are you finding in the screen ? You may want to remove the dishwasher, take it outside and flush as much water through the hoses and pump as it takes to flush out any and all the debris. Also check and make sure the check valve area is clear, and the valve is working WP8268375 Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, November 22, 2011
