How to Remove a Sump Filter in a GE Model PDW8280J00SS

Your GE dishwasher utilizes a sump to help clean your dishes. The sump fills with water and dish-washing detergent at the beginning of the wash cycle. The dishwasher pumps the water from the sump and through the spray arms. The water continues to pump through the sump and sprayers during the wash cycle. The sump filter catches food particles from dirty dishes to avoid having the water redistribute the debris. When your dishes aren't as clean as they should be at the end of the wash, remove the sump filter to clean and replace it.
