We just moved in and inherited the Kenmore Quiet Guard 2 dishwasher. Works fine but recently dishes have been coming out dirty. So I went to wash out the filter but can't find it. Dumb question I'm sure but needs answering! kenmore model 665 Dishwasher doesn't drain fully and dishes are soapy. Think there is a clog?
I have a Quiet Guard 4. Same problem so will describe my solution.
1. Remove bottom basket. Remove top basket.
2. Remove bottom washing arm. Unscrew (Gently but firmly) the centre post. Lift arm assembly up and out.
3. Remove overhead conduit. One screw at back, one at top (Philips #2 bit). Rotate whole assembly 45 deg right (Clockwise) and lift off of centre post.
4. Remove centre post (Pull straight up). Remove 4 screws (Star T-20 bit). Lift whole assembly out. Pop off screen and clean.
5. Remove cap over cutter/chopper. There is a single screw at front left (under assembly removed in 4). Remove screw (Star T-15 bit) and cap (Needs some wiggling to free it up). Remove cutter and filter. It is on a spring loaded pin. Pull the cutter blade foreward and then the filter disc straight up. Clean thoroughly as it may be the cause of your problems.
Reassimble. Good luck!

Yes but that only fixes it once. The problem that the poster and I have is that this happens every few months. What is the permanent fix?

Unfortunately I have now replaced the cutter twice in the last 2 months and it still clogs up. It seems like fine threads clogging up the perforated screen on the back of the cutter. I will now pull out the pump and look at the impeller which is expensive. I think it may be coming apart and as the water recirculates these fine fibers of plastci(?) clog the the screen on the cutter. I have already had to replace the control panel, the detergent dispenser, and other parts over the last few years. It is quiet but has not been reliable.
