510921 Genuine Drain Micro Filter Kit for Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Dishwashers DD60DCX9 DD60SCX9 DD60DAX9 DD60DI9 DD60STI9 DD60SDFX9

Part 510921 is the genuine Fisher & Paykel drain micro filter kit for DishDrawer dishwashers. It is listed for DD60 and DD24 models such as the DD60DCX9, DD60SCX9, DD60DAX9 and DD60DI9, as well as the DD60STI9 and DD60SLI9. A torn or split micro filter lets grit back onto your dishes, so replace the kit as soon as the mesh is damaged.

DishDrawer leaving grit on dishes or not draining?

The micro filter is the fine mesh in the base of each drawer that catches food particles before the water is pumped away. Water passes through it many times during a wash, so a clean, intact filter stops dirty water being sprayed back over the dishes. When the mesh tears or the frame cracks, you'll find grit and food bits on clean dishes, and debris can reach the drain pump and cause blockages. A filter packed with grease and food also slows draining, leaving water in the drawer at the end of the cycle and causing smells.

Replacing the micro filter

Turn the DishDrawer off at the wall and open the drawer. Take out the cutlery basket and rack if they're in the way, then lift out the old filter and clean the area under it, as built-up grime there causes smells. Seat the new filter so it sits flat and locks in properly with no gaps around the edge. Run a rinse to check it drains well.

Questions about this part

How often should I clean the micro filter?

Check and rinse it under the tap every week or two, or more often if you don't scrape plates before loading. Replace it if the mesh is split, the frame is cracked or it no longer sits firmly in place.
