LG Dishwasher Filter Replacement, Repair Part # ADQ32598202 

I like how you show the filter assembly coming out so easily! Glad it just lifted right out for you! Not lifting right out for me!

What if you can't remove the lower washer? I've tried pulling hard and it won't pop out, but I'm worried about breaking it. Am I popping it off wrong?

Thank you for the video. 9 screws total if you count the retaining clip. I was able to clean the filter with a brush and found The Works toilet bowel cleaner help dissolve the calcium deposits.

Excellent video. I was able to remove the filter and toss it but forgot to keep the wash arm holder (and the two screws for it). I see the wash arm holder online in a few places but I don't see the two screws for it. If possible, please tell me where to purchase the wash arm holder with the two needed screws. Thanks.

Wish I could give you 5 thumbs up! We've been having issues with residue, esp. on the top rack with our cups and glasses & with no apparent way to clean the filter, were at a loss. Once we followed your tutorial, we realized that the opening to the water supply attached to the top sprayer was completely clogged with gunk. Thank you so much for helping us out with this (and saving us a costly repair visit!)

I find the video pretty accurate, but what it is missing is an apology for buying an LG appliance. I called a guy about my dishwasher having issues, he said "well it's a good thing you don't have an LG oven", which of course I do. The LG oven melted both relays and melted a wire to the bake element.(now main board in oven is toast) Calling about the oven, the guy said "well it's a good thing you don't have an LG fridge", well I do. The board on the fridge went, some $200 to replace because they soldered in a fuse. $8 at the source and I soldered in a fuse holder and new fuse to get the fridge working. Will never buy or recommend an LG appliance.

THIS IS AN INSANE PROCESS TO REMOVE A FILTER. You need to do this often to clean the filter. Most other dishwashers have a filter basket you pop out. THIS ONE YOU NEED 50 SCREWS AND TAKE HALF THE DISHWASHER APART... FOR A FILTER!!! Never again will I buy LG anything.

How often are you suppose to replace these?

Can i just remove and clean the filter rather than relaxing it?

After opening up the filter, I don't see anything that could possible have clogged the filter. The culprit may be a black soft, round rubber cap of about 3/4 inch in diameter positioned inside a rectangular recess/chamber that water flows through and out of the washer. The black rubber cap maybe a part of a check valve, I have not figured it out yet but it was loose and possibly causing an impediment in water flowing out of the washer. Anyone knows what this black soft round rubber thing is?

What do I do if this dishwasher isn’t draining? I’ve removed all of the filter parts but there’s still water collected at the bottom

Is there a way to just clean the filter instead of changing it?

I have this screen filter too, it is filled with debris inside. Can this be cleaned? Can the debris be removed from within? Thx, Randy

Great video, very helpful for this complicated dishwasher. I have a new filter now to install, unfortunately I neglected to keep the wash arm holder that was attached to the old filter. Can you direct me to where I could buy this part please? Thanks in advance.

I just cleaned mine with the hose with the nozzle on the jet setting. 1. Take out the filter. 2. Spray water stream at the filter media (mesh) at a 45degree angle and move the jet around in a counter clockwise direction a few times. 3. Watch all the lint, plastic and food particles fall out the square opening on the back.

How often do I need to do this

Sorry Catherine, we're not entirely sure what you're referring to. We do mention that you have to remove the screws to remove the filter. If there is just minor debris on the filter you can clean it.

Good video. I only want to clean the filter and do not need to replace it. Is there an easier way to do this?

I just changed my LG Water filter and the screws on the very top of the water filter have a hard plastic dowel that you screw the screws into. These dowels, which slide in, broke when I removed the screws and the new water filter did not come with these plastic dowels. Another thing they were tough as nails to get out - I was able to save one. Now I have to go find where I can purchase these plastic dowels because without them the screws attach to air - lol.

Is this necessary if you aren't having any issues with drainage or residue? My dishes are all very squeaky clean after each cycle.

How the H do you get the bottom blade to snap back on? Mine just won't do it, even with me putting my full weight into it... anyone have any ideas?

this video was a lifesaver my warranty expired and my dishwasher wasn't draining water. I'm never buying another LG product in my life.

Too bad this old pos filter assembly can't be cleaned like the new ones. Great vid

is it possible to disassemble the filter to clean the inside of it ?

could someone explain where inside this filter assembly that a clog can occur? is there some sort of sponge like material that "fills up" ?

Awesome video, thanks🙏

For anyone who is getting the HE error if you test the part and its working check your floaters!!! After replacing the part I still got the error and found my floater was disgusting and needed to be cleaned!

at 1:07 there is a white "valve" just above the white impeller. The problem I have is that the dishes on the upper rack get particles on them. I think it has something to do with this "valve" not being in the right place because I tried to mess with it because the dishwasher smelled so bad. If this "valve" isn't in the right place could this be the issue to my top rack particle problem? Or should I just purchase another filter? Thanks.

My dishwasher came with laminated instructions to clean the filter. It said for best results do it every wash. I can't find the filter. I saw a youtube video about cleaning the filter and in this video, the filter is hidden under the bottom spray arm. However my dishwasher doesn't look like this. It looks like the dishwasher filter replacement video (this video). Does this mean that I don't have to clean my filter after each use?

Awesome video, Thanks!

All I want to know is how to CLEAN the filter. Do I have to remove everything just to CLEAN?????

At 0:33 you say "remove the screws". It would have been much much more helpful if it had been "remove the 8 screws". Removing the wash arm required a lot of force. So I thought that would be suitable for the filter too, and I nearly broke the filter before realizing that the "the screws" also included the four screws on top too.

You're a hero!

Great video!

can you just buy this filter? A supplier told me they only sell it with the pump too! $150 dollars.

Thank you 🙏

Thankfully I resigned myself to most likely having to buy a new dishwasher before I attempted to repair this myself. This video is very deceiving as to how "easy" it is to do this. First of all, I absolutely could not simply go to the lower washer and "pull the assembly out". Try as I might, it did not come out, so I had to unscrew the part of the filter to which it was attached (a bit difficult as you had to try to keep the blade from moving so your screwdriver could get a clear shot at the 2 screws). I had no problem with unscrewing all the 8 screws in the filter when it came to that part. Then the upper water guide at the top of the dishwasher I simply could not get out. Try as I might even with wiggling the mounting rackets. I finally decided to give it one big pull, but in doing so broke what ever was attaching the blade to the rest of the assembly. I have no idea what it was, or where it went to, as it went flying and I still have not yet found it. So, I gave it my best shot, but now on to a new dishwasher. This is my shortest lived dishwasher as I only had it for four years, and so I won't be buying another LG. I wish I would have found the AppliancePartsPro.com video before this one as it is twice as long and much more detailed in its explanations and gave a more realistic representation as to the difficulty in doing this. I don't regret that I tried to do this as getting a serviceman in would have cost $200-$300 in my area, so did not even considered that.

Perfect thx!

I’m about to throw this dishwasher away rather than replace the filter 😑

Well it looks like it's never going to get clean. This is way too complicated for me Too much crap, absolutely insane.

Didn't solve the problem with food left over on the plates. $100 pissed away. This dishwasher is a pos!!!! Same as a Samsung fridge, never again lg dishwasher!😢

How convenient of you to leave out having to pick out all the screws un snapping everything! and YOU CANNOT even clean the filter - u have to replace it!! Never again. I am on my way to purchase NEW dishwasher after 4 years and an unless extended warranty!!!!!
