This filter works with the water pump in your dishwasher. It prevents debris from entering the pump and causing damage. As a result, the filter can occasionally become clogged or damaged, and will need to be replaced. A good indication of a damaged filter is if your dishwasher is not draining or cleaning the dishes properly. This filter has a gray plastic top and bottom that are approximately 5 inches in diameter. This is a genuine OEM part that comes directly from the manufacturer. To replace the filter, simply turn it counterclockwise to unlock, and then screw in the new filter

Would have cost a lot to buy new dishwasher
I was concerned about repairs to a major appliance (dishwasher) when Sears left town and Kenmore parts were not to be found. Luckily, I came across Partselect online and got a different brand of dishwasher filter which was advertised as compatible with my Kenmore. I put the filter in myself- it fit perfectly. The site is easy to search, and customer service is quick and effective.

My filters had completely clogged up with hard deposits and food left on the dishes after running the dishwasher.
My filters had completely clogged up and had not cleaned my filters at all which was a no-no.I had lots of food left on the dishes after running my dishwasher, so I took bothp filters out and replaced them no tools required. I won’t be using powdered or liquid detergent for my dishwasher anymore only pods and promise to clean my filters
... Read more once a month, so hopefully that’ll help keep them clean. Very easy replacement even for an old woman.
After bailing out the unit, filled filter hole with a moderate amount of Dawn dish washing detergent. Ran dishwasher twice to remove all Dawn from the unit. Had to bailout the water (and suds) from the washer both times. After the dishwasher finally drained I inserted the new filter..

How to remove the filter?
For model number KDFE304DBL1
Hello Jim,
Thanks for your question. Unplug the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher door. Reach in and pull out the lower rack until it is resting on the door, and then remove it and set it aside. Push down on the filter and twist it counterclockwise. Turn the filter until it stops moving, with the tabs released. Pull the filter out of the dishwasher.
Put the new filter in by setting it into the opening, possibly turn it a bit. Then turn it clockwise to lock it in. Put the lower rack back in by setting it on the door and sliding it in. Close the door, plug in the dishwasher again.
I hope this helps.

Doesn't drain all the water. Some water it retains at the butter of the dishwasher.
For model number WDF520PADM3
Hello Mike, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: drain hoses, drain pump, filter, the sump and also make sure that there are no clogs where the water drains into the sink/disposal. Check for any obstructions around the pump and sump system, and also clean the filter. Hope this helps!

After the washer fills with water the arm spray and rotate for 3or 4 minutes then the arm stop and do not start again. Any idea on the cause
For model number 665.13099N412
Hello Terry, thank you for inquiring. This is most likely due to a faulty Inlet Valve, part number PS12578165 for your model. You may also want to consider the Overfill Control Switch, part number PS11750031. Good luck with your repair!

Dishwasher always has a bad smell if i dont run it right away
For model number WDF320PADB3
Hello Glenn, thank you for your question. We would recommend cleaning the spray arms, and manifold tube, as well as the filter under the lower spray arm. It would be a good idea to run a mixture of water and vinegar or a dishwasher cleaning solution. That should help take care of the smell. If it does not, you may have to disassemble the unit some, and clean the discharge tubes, and sump. I hope this helps!

Kenmore dishwasher #665.13173k702, replaced filter ps11759673 and screen filter ps11746785. Ran dishwasher and noted that although the bottom surface of the dishwasher no longer had water remaining, there was about 1 2" of water remaining in the well into which the filter is inserted. Is that normal?
Hello Gary, Thank you for your inquiry. Anywhere around 1 cup of water leftover after a cycle is normal. It's there to keep the seals from drying up and your dishwasher will pump it out immediately before you get started on a new load. However, if it does not, you may want to check your drain pump and drain hoses. Hope this helps.
Hi there. My Kenmore elite dishwasher keeps coming up with a slow drain code. I've replaced the drain hoses, the drain pump, even changed the type of detergent. All to no avail. I've reset the the control panel and everything seems fine. Until i run another load and the code comes back on. Not always mind you, as sometimes we have had a complete cycle go through with no problems. I'm stumped. Any advice? Control board maybe? Thanks for your assistance.
For model number 66513153K701!
Hello Steve, thank you for inquiring. This is caused by a block or clog in the drain path. This could be the Sump, Pump, or Drain Hose. From what you have mentioned, you will most likely need to replace the Sump, part number PS2329328 for your model dishwasher. Good luck with your repair!

Lower rack of dishes do not come out clean, top rack is fine.Have removed and cleaned filters, have removed and cleaned out lower spray arm, no hard water build up
For model number KUDE48FXBL6
Hello Jim, Thank you for your inquiry. I would test the circulation pump and motor assembly as this is what forces the water up through the spray arm to clean the dishes, if any one part of it is not working, the lower spray arm won't turn. You can test it with a multimeter. Hope this helps!

I clean the filter regularly but the screening has a 1/4" black mark all around the center. After each wash, i find a lot of black grime in the tub near the bottom of the door. What might that be from? Thanks.
For model number KDFE104DBL1
Hi Lewis, thank you for your question. It is likely a build up of debris from the wash and depending on how hard your water is that could also be the cause of something like that. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
