How Whirlpool Dishwashers Are Built
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
A float switch tied to the drip tray senses leaked water, and water in the tray sets code F8E4 so the owner should check the water connections. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher Error Codes: Reading
