Filter fuzz too often

Dishwasher Repair
1

Despite thoroughly rinsing off dirty crockery before use, (we’re questioning the use of the DW at all !!) our KA DW’s filter keeps getting clogged. I cleaned it about 2 months ago, and before that it was cleaned by a technician about 12 months ago.

The filter is getting blocked by a “fuzz”, (maybe an algae?), not by particles.

What could be wrong ? Hard/soft water ? Wrong type of detergent ? Not enough rinse agent ?

Thanks

Very likely this problem caused by a wrong detergent. You can learn how to choose right detergent from the article How To Improve Dishwasher Performance.
