A Samsung dishwasher generally has two filters, a primary filter, and a fine filter. Keeping them clean is necessary to keep the machine working efficiently. They can get clogged causing them to perform poorly. In order to clean them, you will need to remove them and perform the maintenance steps listed above.

Some models are self-cleaning. Others require you to manually clean them. You should also check your owner’s manual for instructions to see what model you have and what the filter system is.

If your filter is stuck in place, you should remove it as soon as possible. After removing it, it is important to inspect it for signs of clogs.

The second filter, the water drain, helps to purify the water and ensures that the circulation is free of any obstructions. If the filter is clogged, it usually starts to get noisy during the cleaning cycle.

Besides preventing clogs, the dishwasher filter can help to prevent bad odors from escaping, you’ll notice it more when you first open the door when the cycle has finished.
