A working filter ensures that your dishwasher can continue to run and wash your plates effectively, as it prevents large food particles from getting to the wash pump. If you find your dishwasher is not draining the water away, it could be due to a damaged filter allowing food waste to collect and clog the drainage channel.
Changing the filter on your dishwasher is fairly simple, but if you’re unsure our article below is sure to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
