Cleaning your dishwasher filter will be different for each model, but this style is prevalent in many Samsung models. The white residue can be caused by a few things, including lower quality dishwasher detergent as well as calcium, magnesium, and lime build up. I used vinegar to wipe it down, but next time think I will try some CLR or other calcium removers to see if it helps. Much of it came off the filter a scrubbing, but plenty of it didn't. Since I got the majority of the clumps and our dishes haven't really been affected, I left it alone.
