What Makes Whirlpool Dishwasher Repairs Different
Whirlpool uses a removable two-part filter, an upper assembly that twists out a quarter turn and a lower filter beneath it, and some models instead use self-cleaning filters that rely on water pressure. Source: Whirlpool - How to Clean the Dishwasher Filters
