How to Troubleshoot & Replace Bosch AP7232451 / 17008311 Dishwasher Micro Filter Assembly

Looked on line and found AppliancePartsPros. Thought I had the right part when looking at inventory but used live chat feature to be sure. Part came quickly and is the perfect match. 

Ordered a new micro filter and replaced the old one. The bad filter was allowing debris to plug up the outlet so that the dishwasher could not drain. 

Easy 

The quick fix was to epoxy the screen for a few days until the new one arrived. I ordered the assembly and it arrived mid-week, and the part was the correct item. Replacing the pieces in the machine took less than 5 minutes. 

Tried to order the screen only from Bosh, They wanted to sell me the screen and filter with the bottom plate. This was more than I needed and pricy. I had to get one extra piece from AP and it was less expensive. The install was no problem. I wish they would sell the screen only as the top plastic piece looks like it will never need replacing. 

Replace manually
