Causes of a bad Soil Trap can include accumulation of debris that is not regularly cleaned, leading to clogs or reduced water flow. Over time, the trap can also suffer from wear or damage due to the harsh environment within the dishwasher, such as exposure to high temperatures and aggressive detergents. Symptoms of a bad Soil Trap include: Poor cleaning performance with food particles left on dishes Water not draining properly or standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher Unpleasant odors emanating from retained food debris The dishwasher making unusual noises due to obstruction in the water flow This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.Part Number 5304506518 (AP6036337) replaces 154252702, 4456335, PS11770485.
