The Removal of a Drain Filter on the Whirlpool DU800DWGX1

The Whirlpool DU800DWGX1 dishwasher catches food particles in a removable perforated strainer built into the bottom of the appliance. The part helps prevent clogged drains and keeps the Whirlpool running smoothly. If you notice that the DU800DWGX1 isn't draining normally or at all, check the strainer for clogs, cleaning the part if necessary. No tools are needed to remove the drain filter.
