Overview

The GE WD49X24057 Ultra Fine Filter Kit addresses one of the most common causes of declining dishwasher performance: a clogged or damaged filter that allows fine food particles to recirculate through the wash water and redeposit on dishes. The Ultra Fine Filter sits at the base of the dishwasher tub and captures debris before the wash pump sends water back through the spray arms. When it degrades, you notice it in your results — gritty film on glassware, food residue on plates after a full cycle, and the general sense that the machine is working hard without actually cleaning. Replacing the filter with a genuine GE OEM part restores the water filtration quality that the dishwasher was designed to operate with.

This kit includes both the Ultra Fine Filter and the Base Plate, which means you're replacing the entire lower filter assembly rather than patching one component while leaving a worn base in place. Genuine OEM construction matters here: the filter material, mesh density, and mounting tolerances are matched to GE's specifications, ensuring a proper seal in the filter housing. The WD49X24057 supersedes eight earlier part numbers, making it the current-generation replacement for a broad range of GE dishwashers. Confirm your dishwasher's model number against GE's compatibility data before ordering — and once installed, budget a monthly rinse of the filter under running water to maintain peak performance between full replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Ultra Fine Filter do inside my GE dishwasher?

The Ultra Fine Filter traps fine food particles and debris in the wash water before it recirculates through the spray arms. When the filter becomes clogged or damaged, that debris gets redeposited on dishes during the wash cycle — resulting in gritty residue and reduced cleaning effectiveness.

What does the WD49X24057 kit include?

This kit includes both the Ultra Fine Filter and the Base Plate, which together form the complete filter assembly. Replacing both components ensures the filter seats correctly and seals properly in the filter housing.

Which part numbers does the WD49X24057 replace?

This part replaces WD12X10416, WD12X20107, WD12X20340, WD12X20549, WD12X21676, WD12X21976, WD12X22560, and WD12X23736. If you have one of those part numbers from your existing filter, the WD49X24057 is the current replacement.

How do I know if my GE dishwasher is compatible with this filter kit?

The WD49X24057 is compatible with select GE dishwasher models. Check your dishwasher's model number — found inside the door frame on a label — against GE's parts compatibility list, or enter the part number on GE's parts site to confirm fitment before ordering.

How often should the Ultra Fine Filter be cleaned or replaced?

GE recommends cleaning the filter monthly under normal household use — more frequently if you run heavy loads with starchy or greasy foods. Replace the filter when it shows visible damage, deformation, or when cleaning no longer restores full drainage and wash performance.
