Why do the filters on an IDF125 need to be cleaned so often? Despite scraping food debris off before dishwashing, the fine filter soon becomes thick with nasty grey stuff. What is the point of having a dishwasher if you have to do half the job first by hand, and then all this stuff gets stuck on the filters?

The filters on an Indesit IDF 125 dishwasher need to be cleaned frequently because blockages in the mesh filter or sensor hose can prevent the dishwasher from functioning properly. If the filters are slimed up or blocked, they can cause issues such as flashing error lights (e.g., lights 1 and 3) and may disrupt the cleaning process. Regular cleaning ensures proper water flow and operation.
