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.

Yeah, mine has too, but its as solid as the long perforated one
and is stainless steal with holes in it too and is just as scrubbable.
