Whirlpool WPW10463906 Dishwasher Sump Filter OEM Part

Ordered a new screen and filter. While waiting for arrival, removed wax covered dishes. Carefully removed wax filled filter and screen cover. Stuffed paper towels in hole to absorb water and prevent wax from entering pump. Prayed ????wax had not entered pump. With plastic knife removed visible wax. Wiped out with paper towels. Used entire roll. Used hair dryer to melt remaining wax and wiped every inch of racks, wheels, glides, silverware holder, seal, floor and so forth. Oh yes I did. At 1:30 AM...thought..."hot soapy water might melt that wax". Got out of bed. Boiled a large pot of water and squirted in dish soap. Explained to husband ??why it needed to be done right then. Scrapped clumps of wax out of filter. With tongs dipped in boiling suds. Walla! It worked. Dipped screen and glass dishes. All clean. Threw plastics away. Cooked a bowl of ramen. Ate my snack, returned to bed. Next day, new filter and screen arrived! ?? Installed. Put in soap packet. Ran empty. Checked new filter and screen. Wax ??. Replaced with old filter (cleaned) and screen. New soap packet, ran empty. Checked screen. Pristine! ?? Repair a success. Thanks for the quick shipping. Hope this helps anyone who decides to wash candles in their dishwasher.

Both the filter & screen were completely clogged with old, crusty, food & dry dish detergent. Parts were delivered within 48 hours and were exactly what I needed.

I called Appliance Parts Pros and spoke with Michelle. She was extremely helpful found the parts I needed ordered them for me and I received them in two days. She also provided me a link that explain to me how to remove the screen. It probably took me all of 10-15 minutes and now my dishwasher is cleaning like new again.

Replaced the Sump Filter.

Hope it's the newer bottom filter, the old one melted.
