BALL FILTER-ORANGE WD12X10408

Hello David, thank you for your question. The filter ball goes into the inlet sump. the filter ball blocks the path to the fine filter during the drain cycle. If its missing or jammed it can cause incomplete draining. Pull out the dish racks from the unit so you can access the bottom section of the dishwasher. Remove the spray arm and the filter cover from the bottom of the dishwasher. Remove the ball from the round tube that sits towards the back of the opening. To remove the filter, use some chewing gum, or sticky tack on the end of a straw and insert it into the tube to grab and remove the ball (if its still in the hole). Simply drop the new ball into that hole and reassemble. I hope this helps!

Hi Leonard, thank you for your question. This part goes directly underneath your sump filter. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello David, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking and cleaning out the filter PartSelect Number: PS1765973 and sump PartSelect Number PS1765981. Make sure there is no damage or blockage. You can also check the Drain Solenoid,PartSelect Number PS1481923 to see if the plunger is moving up and down properly. If everything checks out good, you may need to replace the pump. Hope this helps!

Hello Brad, thank you for contacting us. The filter ball goes into the inlet sump. The filter ball blocks the path to the fine filter during the drain cycle. The filter ball is in the correct location. If the middle arm is not spinning and there is less water coming from it, it is due to the clogged spray arm. You may need to check the spray arm, part number PS16542477, to fix the issue. We hope this helps!
