Talking What tool do I use to unscrew the screws to clean filter
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: GSD5130DO2WW
Age: 5 - 10 years

At the end of the dishwash cycle there is 1" of water left in the tub. I would like to clean the filter but the cover is held on by 2 hex type screws. I have tried conventional socket wrenches but none seem to fit right and I don't want to strip the screws. What is the correct tool to use to remove the screws so I can try cleaning out the filter to see if that helps to drain the remaining water. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

Thank you sooo much for your help. I just unscrewed the screws with my 1/4 socket. This forum is a great thing!
