Clean Filters On GE Dishwasher Model: #GSD3360K55SS

GE Dishwasher Filter-Cleaning Guide

• Model: GE GSD3360K55SS
• Tools: Flathead screwdriver and 1/4-inch nut driver

Disassembly

The hardest part is releasing the rear shaft latch. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the notch on the right and pry the tab to unlatch the assembly. Remove the two 1/4-inch bolts securing the screen, then remove the additional 1/4-inch bolt below it.

Filter Removal

Press the filter’s latch and lift the filter out. The latch can be a little tricky to release.

Inspection and Cleaning

Check inside the dishwasher for debris. A ball sits against the opening to help prevent backflow. The rear screen is difficult to see, so check it by feel for blockages. The presenter finds no obvious blockage and wipes the accessible part of the screen with a rag. Debris is visible in another screen, which he attempts to flush through the opening.

Reassembly

Refit the screen, pulling it forward until it snaps around its latch. Then press the filter assembly down until it clicks into place.

Experience, Pros, and Cons

The process is manageable with basic tools, but releasing the rear latch and removing the filter require some care. The rear screen is difficult to see and inspect, and the presenter avoids disturbing an unidentified part he feels near it.
