Check/Clean the Filter System
This dishwasher has a filter system that consists of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter 
assembly and a Fine Filter. Select models have an additional Micro Filter. The filter system is 
located on the inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily accessible.
During normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it for 
foreign objects and clean it when necessary.
