Hi Jim, we appreciate your interest in the LG Fully-Integrated SteamDishwasher™ w/ 3rd Rack, Model # LDF8874ST. This unit has 3 filters, a Mesh Filter, an Outer Filter and an Upper STS Filter that all need to be cleaned of any food debris that might cause odors...^IFV

Have to remove it, but it's easily accessible and comes out with a small twist.

Starthru · Answer

You need to clean the filter yourself. Soft foods will get forced through the screening and removed, but hard things will be left in the little basket in the tub floor. You remove it by twisting it in the direction labelled on it and wash it in the sink. Do this weekly and you will not have issues at all.

The dishwasher installer recommended removing and cleaning the screen monthly to remove particles that were too large to pass through to the disposal.

The manufacturer also recommends running the dishwasher empty once per month with a dishwasher cleaning product.

Both of these items seem to be recommended by most manufacturers for suggested maintenance, regardless of whether or not the unit has a built-in disposal or the home has soft water.

No---if you want that feature you have to go with a Bosch but you will lose the heat dry and steam.

No self cleaning filter. You must remove by hand and clean.

You have to clean the filter by hand. It depends on the amount of food left on plates, etc.

Jlex · Answer

It has a filter to clean out. Depending on how you rinse your dishes determines how often you would have to clean it
