The fine mesh micro filter, genuine part H012G1040014, sits in the sump of Fisher & Paykel and Haier dishwashers and catches small food particles before the water is pumped around again. It is listed for 27 models, among them the Fisher & Paykel DW60CEX1, DW60CSW1, DW60CDW2 and DW60CDX2, and Haier machines such as the HDW12-SFE3, HDW9TFE3SS, HDW100SST and HDW201SS.

Gritty dishes or water left in the bottom? Check the micro filter

Dishwasher filtration usually works in layers, with a coarse filter catching bigger scraps and a fine micro filter stopping smaller debris from being sprayed back over the dishes. When the mesh tears, cracks or gets bent out of shape, grit ends up on glasses and plates and can block spray arm jets or reach the drain pump. A filter clogged with grease and food also slows the flow, leading to poor wash results, standing water in the base and unpleasant smells. If cleaning no longer brings it back, or the frame is broken, a new filter protects the pump and spray arms.

Fitting and looking after the filter

Turn the dishwasher off and remove the lower basket. Lift the filter set out of the base of the tub, noting how the micro filter sits and locks in. Fit the new one so it lies flat with no gaps around the edges, then lock the filter set back in place. Rinse the filters under the tap regularly to keep the mesh clear.

Questions about this part

How often should the micro filter be cleaned?

Your user manual gives the recommended interval. As a rough guide, a rinse under running water every few weeks keeps the mesh open, more often if plates go in heavily soiled. Avoid wire brushes, which can damage the fine mesh.
