Thanks for the tips, Vlad.

By the way: never try to use strong cleaners not designed for dishwashers, such as CLR – this may damage seals in the dishwasher, I’v seen it quite a few times.

As for the filter, mine’s in front now (I love my Asko!), but I still forget to clean my filter probably as regularly as I should…

But I NEVER skimp on rinse aid. That’s my key to good performance.

It worked pretty good. The key to our (cheap) dishwasher has been to be sure to clean the food filters. Why oh why did they put it in the back where it’s nearly impossible to reach is beyond me!
