A:Answer Hi there. Thank you for reaching out with your questions about the LG LDPH7972S Dishwasher. We understand the importance of keeping things simple and effective.
Yes, the filter at the bottom of your dishwasher is removable and can be cleaned. Regular cleaning helps maintain peak performance and prevents odors or drainage issues. Here’s a quick guide:
Remove the lower rack to access the filter.
Turn the inner filter counter-clockwise to remove it along with the stainless steel mesh.
Separate and clean the inner filter under running water using a soft brush or sponge.
Reassemble and reinstall the filter, ensuring it’s properly secured.

Regarding app functionality, rest assured, the dishwasher is fully operational without the need for a "smart" connection. The app is an optional feature that provides additional convenience, but the core functions can be managed directly from the dishwasher.
