The Dishwasher Filter Screen is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As a key filtration component, the filter screen traps food particles and debris to prevent clogs and ensure optimal water circulation during wash cycles. It is responsible for filtering out contaminants and protecting internal pump components from damage.
Symptoms of a bad filter screen include:
- Reduced or uneven water pressure during wash cycles
- Puddles or pooled water inside the dishwasher
- Food debris caught in the pump or other areas
- The dishwasher fails to fill or drain properly
- Unusual noises emanating from the dishwasher
Causes of a bad filter screen can include clogging over time due to accumulated food waste and mineral deposits or damage such as cracks or tears in the screen material.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dishwashers.
