I see, fair enough. I’m not sure what’s wrong with the one you had. It could be the way things are being packed, eco mode or not enough detergent etc. But if you’re not using it any more then I guess it doesn’t matter ¯_(ツ)_/¯

When least have you cleaned the filter?

Are you using a European or American dishwasher?

… you don’t need to prep your dishes before putting it in the dishwasher.
