I have a Maytag MDB8989 and took off the metal and plastic filter covers to clean the filter and strainer. No problems, except when I went to put the plastic cover back on, it is no longer keeping a tight seal with the rim.
So when the metal cover goes over the top, it is now causing the spray arm to rub when it revolves. So far the dishwasher is cleaning properly. I only noticed it because I gave the arm a spin when I put the cover back on. There's no other way for the covers to go on, so I know they are on properly. But now there's a tiny gap that pushes everything up just a bit, and causes the rubbing.
Is this something to worry about? Any tips on something I may have missed? See pic below.
