Question

My dishwasher is saying filters need cleaning but it is brand new what could be the problem

Answer 1

Take a look to see if you have a bit of paper or something that is stuck in the filter housing or some thing that could be obstructing the sensor.

Answer 2

Check your owners manual.

Answer 3

A filter can clog in a minute flat. Do you rinse food off the plates before you put them in the dishwasher?

Answer 4

It may be brand new but there may still be food debris in the filters. Perhaps the first set of crockery that you washed was particularly contaminated. Normally manufacturers recommend a pre-rinse if plates or bowls have big stuff stuck to them.

The machine measures the rate of water draining. If this is not good enough then you must remove the filters in the bottom of the machine (usually easy to get to when you take the trays out) and clean them.

Answer 5

Clean the filters. If the problem persists, call the supplier/ maker re fault under guarantee.
