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.
Instructions
Glass Trap Models
1. Locate the filter under the bottom spray arm.
2. Pull out the glass trap by the handle and empty the contents.
3. Rinse the trap with water to remove any excess debris or shards.
4. Slide the glass trap back into position.
Cylinder Filter Models
5. Disconnect power to the Frigidaire dishwasher.
6. Pull the bottom rack out of the dishwasher. Turn the cylinder-shaped filter under the spray arm counterclockwise and lift out.
7. Empty out the filter and rinse it with water.
8. Unscrew the bottom spray arm and remove the spray arm from the dishwasher.
9. Lift out the filter housing. Rinse the filter housing with water.
10. Reverse the above steps to replace the filter housing, spray arm and cylinder filter.
