Micro Drain Mesh Screen Cage Filter - Grey

Its primary function is to catch food particles and debris from dishes during the wash cycle, preventing them from recirculating onto clean dishes and protecting the dishwasher's circulation pump from damage.

It is recommended to clean the filter regularly, ideally after every few wash cycles or as indicated in your dishwasher's user manual. Frequent cleaning ensures optimal performance and prevents drainage issues.

No, this is a premium quality compatible replacement part equivalent to Bosch part numbers 00645038 and 645038. It is designed to fit and function similarly to the original part.

This refers to the measurement across the inside opening of the filter. It's a key dimension to ensure the filter will properly fit into its housing within your specific Bosch dishwasher model.

Check your Bosch dishwasher's model number and compare it to the compatible series listed (SBV, SGE, SHE, SHV, SHX, SMI, SMS, SMU, SMV, SPS). Also, verify that your current filter matches the equivalent Bosch part numbers (00645038 / 645038) and has a 75mm internal diameter.

If cleaning the filter doesn't resolve drainage issues, the problem might lie elsewhere in the drainage system, such as a blockage in the hose, the pump itself, or the waste pipe connection. Consult your dishwasher's troubleshooting guide or a qualified technician.

Check if the micro drain filter is clogged with food debris. Remove and clean the filter as per the care instructions. Also, inspect the main filter and pump area for blockages.

This indicates the filter may be damaged, improperly seated, or needs cleaning. Remove, inspect, and clean the filter. Ensure it is correctly reinserted.

A blocked filter or debris in the pump area can sometimes cause noise. Clean the filter and check the pump intake for obstructions.

Ensure you have ordered the correct filter for your specific Bosch dishwasher model. Double-check the part number and the 75mm internal diameter specification against your needs.
