    Definitely pay attention to the door seal, especially the part you can't see. Mine accumulates a lovely (not!) grease & food debris combo, which has to be seen to be believed. Eeeuuuwwww

    Mine does to & your right it's gross!

    I wipe down seals, rinse filters & (not very moneysaving but) I use a Finish dishwasher cleaner on an empty but hottest wash.

    Oooohhhhh!!! I had this EXACT problem and put it down to the weather :o, but I'm guessing now that it's because I only EVER use the 40c economy setting. I'll get some vinegar today and do a long, hot programme tonight.

    God this place is awesome...:j
