How to Fix a Clogged Filter Screen on a Maytag Dishwasher
- 1). Disconnect power to the Maytag dishwasher and remove the bottom rack.
- 2). Unscrew the smaller cap on the filter, which is located in the middle bottom of the dishwasher. Lift out the coarse filter screen.
- 3). Clean the filter cup with hot water and wipe clean with a sponge or cloth.
- 4). Rinse the filter screen with the hot water, running a sponge over the filter if necessary to remove any residue or debris.
- 5). Reset the filter into the cup and place the filter cup in the bottom of the dishwasher. Turn it slightly in a clockwise motion to secure. The cup should be flush with the filter plate.
