Hotpoint Dishwasher Filter
Traps food and debris so they do not clog the pump or return to the dishes.
Signs it has failed
- Gritty residue on dishes
- Slow draining or standing water
- A bad smell from the base
- A cracked or missing filter
Check before you buy
- Remove and inspect the filter for food build-up
- Rinse it under the tap and scrub gently
- Check for tears or a loose mesh
What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).
How to replace it
- Remove the lower rack
- Twist and lift out the filter assembly
- Rinse and clean, or fit the new filter
- Lock it back into place
- Run a short cycle
