Dishwasher not cleaning properly, leaving food residue on dishes, or holding water at the bottom of the tub is often caused by a clogged catcher filter

. In this repair case, the dishwasher was struggling with poor drainage and weak wash performance due to heavy buildup inside the filter assembly.
Over time, grease, food particles, and soap residue collect in the dishwasher filter and restrict water circulation. When the filter is blocked, the pump cannot move water efficiently, spray arms lose pressure, and dirty water may remain inside after the cycle ends. This can also lead to unpleasant odors and repeated performance issues if not addressed properly.
Our technician removed the catcher filter, performed a thorough professional cleaning, and restored proper water flow through the system. After reassembly and testing, the dishwasher drained correctly and returned to normal washing performance.
Regular dishwasher filter maintenance is essential for reliable operation and long appliance life. Ignoring filter blockages can lead to pump strain, drainage problems, and additional component failures over time.
