How to Replace a SPT Dishwasher Filter

Before replacing your SPT dishwasher filter, you need to know what makes up this filtering system. For a detailed section on dishwashers please check out our dishwasher buying guide. 

SPT Dishwasher Filter Components

  1. The main filter traps food and solid particles which are then pulverized by the lower spray arm’s special jet before being washed down the drain.
  2. The coarse filter traps large items that can cause clogging (e.g., bone or glass pieces.) Items caught in the SPT coarse filter can be removed by squeezing the tabs on top of the filter and lifting the items out.
  3. The fine filter is used to hold food and soil residue in the sump area of the SPT dishwasher and prevents it from being redeposited on dishes during a cleaning cycle. 

Replacing SPT Dishwasher Filters

To properly replace your SPT dishwasher filter, please follow the 5 steps below:

  1. To remove the SPT filter components, turn the whole filter assembly anti-clockwise. 
  2. Lift the entire filter assembly upwards to remove it from the SPT dishwasher.
  3. Switch out which component of the filter needs to be replaced and clean out the other parts of the filter assembly with a cleaning brush. Otherwise, prepare your SPT’s new dishwasher filter assembly for insertion.
  4. Afterward, reinsert the brand-new or partially replaced filter assembly into the SPT dishwasher.
  5. Position the SPT filter assembly into its seat, press it downward, then turn it in a clockwise direction to lock it into place. 

Final Thoughts on How to Clean a SPT Dishwasher Filter

Sometimes cleaning SPT dishwasher filters alone cannot remedy your dishwasher situation. You might need to replace your filter. And if your dishwasher still is not performing its cleaning function well, then please seek professional help from a SPT company representative.
