I need to clean the filter in the dishwasher. The guard over it is held in place by screws that look like Phillips head, but a Phillips head screwdriver does not fit. The screw head has a star appearance where the screwdriver fits in. What tool do I need?
You need a torx driver set.
Hey, thanks. I went to Home Depot and they pointed me to a Star set of eight drivers in a single set that did the job. Appreciate the help.
The guy at Home Depot said this was a “security” type screw. Security for what? That I couldn’t fix my own dishwasher? I’m always ready to take things apart and see how they work and try and fix them. “Retired and willing to try anything to fix it myself.”
