The chopper blade filter gets clogged about every two weeks with grey fibers and food particles. I can't figure out where the fibers are coming from, I think they are more the problem than the food particles. What can I do about this? thanks mickit

Do you have air gap for dishwasher drain installed on top of the sink or the drain hose is connected straight to the garbage disposer?

If there is no air gap, then possible back up from the garbage disposer.

I don't have a garbage disposal, the hose is connected under the sink.

Make sure the drain hose has a loop under the sink to make it go up before it goes to the dishwasher. Otherwise the problem most likely is a back up.

Ok, Thanks I will try that, right now the drain hose is coming through the cabinet wall at a low access hole , I'll move the hose to the higher hole in the cabinet. although, I thought these hoses have a oneway valve, so back up wouldn't be able to go through.
