| Instructions from an expert on the internetAndrew Mandel St. Paul Appliance RescueIf your Maytag dishwasher is not cleaning as well lately, the filter may
need to be cleaned. Consult your owner's manual for specific directions
on your dishwasher. The filter in a dishwasher is important because it
collects small food particles and keeps them away from the drain pump.
This article will help you locate the filter in your dishwasher. 1. Remove the lower wa  sh basket from the dishwasher.  2. Remove the lower spray arm cap by turning it counter clockwise and lift the spray arm off of the pump.  3.
There are (6) T20 screws to remove that hold the pump cover to the
discharge pump housing. Note that the pump cover must be reinstalled the
same way so make a mark to help you line it up when reinstalling.  4. The filter can now be lifted out and cleaned with a brush under the hot water faucet.  5. Small particles of food can clog the screen and impede the water flow through the pump.  6.
Before reinstalling, use a tweezers to remove any food particles that
may be clogging the lower wash arm. After reassembling everything back
together, start a wash cycle. You should now be able to hear the water
being sprayed inside of the dishwasher with a stronger force than before
the filter was cleaned. |
