# How to Remove the Filter in a Frigidaire Self-Cleaning Dishwasher
Frigidaire self-cleaning dishwashers have a filter that removes food residue from dishes that might otherwise block proper cleaning or draining. Some dishwasher models have a glass trap within a filter to catch any pits, broken glass, bones or straws that fall into the bottom of the tub. Other models have a cylinder-shaped filter in the bottom of the tub.
