# How to Take the Vent Screen Off a Kenmore Dishwasher
When the washing cycle is complete on your Kenmore dishwasher, the inside of the unit is full of steam, and much of that steam is vented out of the dishwasher through the vent screen located on the top of the door. If the screen becomes broken or clogged, this could cause problems inside your dishwasher. You can remove the vent screen at any time from the dishwasher door to see if the part needs to be replaced.
