Is there standing water in the filter area?

It is normal for there to be a small amount of standing water in the dishwasher filter area (about half way up to the top of the filter area). You may notice this water when you remove your dishwasher filters for regular cleaning. The water is there to keep the seals in that area from drying up. This small amount of water is drained when you start your next cycle and is replaced with fresh water.

The picture below shows the normal amount of standing water in the dishwasher filter area.

Does the filter need to be cleaned?

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
There is degradation in cleaning performance (soils still present on dishes).
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
Smell or odors coming from the dishwasher.

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. Regular maintenance of your filters will sustain peak cleaning performance. We recommend cleaning both your upper and lower filters and rinsing them under running water at least once a month.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the dishwasher, do not operate it without properly installing the filters. Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
