what should i do if my DishDrawer filter plate will not sit flat?
a broad filter plate that sits unevenly may be dirty or incorrectly seated rather than damaged. a warped, cracked or missing plate needs replacement with the correct format.
disconnect power and let the drawer cool before following the manual's rack and filter-care instructions. keep the small drain filter and fastening parts separate, and handle the plate's edges carefully. do not run the drawer with loose or missing filter parts.
the linked guide covers the 524467 type 16 plate with the 608 overmoulded design. it supplies one plate per drawer, without the central drain filter or motor locking ring. an intact plate may only need cleaning and correct refitting. after permitted reassembly, the plate must stay secure and the spray arm must turn freely; unresolved seating or drainage problems need further advice.
first checks
- separate dirt from damage
inspect the cool, disconnected drawer using its care instructions. do not bend the plate or force its fastening arrangement.
