Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Filter

This fine screen is the small mesh filter that sits in the dishwasher sump to catch food particles and help protect the pump and wash system. It keeps debris from circulating so dishes rinse more effectively. What it does:

• Traps food and debris in the sump to prevent clogging and pump damage
• Helps maintain proper water flow for consistent wash and drain performance
• Reduces risk of food redepositing on dishes during cycles
• Commonly replaced when torn, heavily clogged, or missing

• One fine mesh sump screen

• Turn off power and disconnect the dishwasher before servicing
• Remove the lower dish rack and access the sump area to replace the screen
• Inspect surrounding seals and housing for damage while servicing
• No special tools typically required; handle mesh gently to avoid deformation

This pump sump screen filters lint, debris and small objects from wash water before it reaches the drain pump, helping prevent clogs and pump damage. Replace a cracked or clogged screen to restore proper draining. What it does:

• Captures lint, coins, hair and small debris before the drain pump
• Helps prevent pump blockages that cause poor draining or standing water
• Reduces wear on the drain pump by stopping larger debris
• Improves overall drain performance when the existing screen is damaged or clogged

• Disconnect power and water before accessing the pump area
• Remove the washer access panel or cabinet per your model's service instructions to reach the sump
• Inspect and clean surrounding areas and the pump inlet when replacing the screen

This filter assembly is the water-filter housing that secures and connects the refrigerator's replaceable cartridge to the water supply, helping deliver filtered water and ice for everyday use. Fits inline with the fridge's dispenser/ice system. What it does:

• Holds and seals the replaceable water filter cartridge so water is routed through the filter media
• Enables filtered water to reach the dispenser and ice maker, improving taste and clarity
• Prevents leaks at the cartridge connection when properly installed and sealed
• Can cause no water from dispenser, reduced ice production, or leaking if damaged or worn

• Shut off the refrigerator's water supply before removing or installing the assembly
• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance when accessing internal components for safety
• Check and replace O-rings or seals as needed to ensure a watertight connection
• After installation, turn water back on and flush per filter manufacturer's instructions to clear air and loose carbon fines

The Filter Screen is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. Located inside the sump area, the durable mesh screen captures small food particles and debris before wash water is recirculated through cycles.

Symptoms of a bad filter screen can include clogging obscuring openings over time, degrading mesh no longer inhibiting passage, or dislodging from mounting points allowing bypass.

Causes involve the normal accumulation of soils requiring periodic cleaning. Mineral buildup may eventually cement sections together reducing effectiveness. 

Symptoms of a bad filter screen include:

• Dirty or soiled wash water unable to fully circulate  
• Filth dispersing throughout the wash cabinet interior
• Reduced cleaning and unsatisfactory dish results

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore dishwasher models. Replace to maintain built-in wastewater filtration protecting major components.

• Filters chlorine taste and odor and common particulate contaminants to improve water flavor
• Helps ensure clearer, better-tasting ice and drinking water
• Restores reduced flow caused by a clogged or expired filter
• Matches factory fit and flow path for proper sealing and performance

• Turn off the refrigerator water supply before removing the old filter.
• Follow the refrigerator manufacturer's instructions for filter removal, insertion, and priming/flush cycles after installation.
• Check for leaks after installing and flushing the filter; tighten fittings as needed.
