That wasnt that hard to scrub off with a scrubbing brush
under the cold water tap. That was due to me putting absolutely filthy
and fat coated roasting pans directly into the dishwasher. When
I stopped doing that and heated the pan and poured off the fat
before putting it into the dishwasher, that problem went away.

Presumably you are in a hard water area. What are you doing
about salt for that in the dishwasher ? I'm in a quite soft water
area and only get a bit of salt on the shower head in a year or so.

Why scrub under a cold tap? Surely a hot tap will soften the grease.

It isnt grease. It’s a sort of soft gunk that’s hard to describe
and hot and cold makes no difference with it.

I find giving the filter a spray of Flash or similar
and a rinse under the hot tap does the job.

Doent work with this stuff, its really stuck on.

Too delecate to be scrubbed on mine.

Mine have always been a sllid stainless steel
long rectangular thing with small holes in it.




Mine has a cylindrical corrugated mesh below the long perforated one - it
hangs below into the pump chamber.
