In the dishwashers I've seen, the filter is there to filter the water
while it's being recirculated, collecting any particles. Then, when
the pump out begins, water is drawn from BEFORE the filter, taking
whatever collected there and sending it out through the grinder.
I would think hair could present a problem, because unlike the
expected food particles, it might get embedded in the filter so it
won't easily wash out. I guess I'm wondering how any significant
amount of dog hair can get in there to begin with. If you're putting
dog feeding dishes in there, the obvious solution is to wash those by
hand.
Have you called the Maytag helpline to ask them?
