Dishwasher Micro Filter is used for keeping food particles out of the dishwasher wash pump and spray arms with an etched stainless micro filter and coarse cup in the sump. IEC 60436 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What IEC 60436 Means for Dishwasher Micro Filter
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit IEC 60436. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
Dishwasher Micro Filter Dimensions
| Size | Outer diameter (mm) | Length (mm) | Micron rating (u00b5m) | Hole diameter (mm) | Type |

Specifying Dishwasher Micro Filter Beyond the Standard
- Format: Cylinder + coarse cup, or flat sump plate; match the tub sump.
- Rating: Around 400 µm; finer filters clean better but need more frequent rinsing.
- Lock: Specify twist-lock lugs and seal to the sump.
When Dishwasher Micro Filter Is Not the Right Choice
Not a water-softening device; scale needs salt or softener.
