    Its a wire mesh type. The fan isn't working and the screen has lots of grease on it that has maybe changed into more of a wax. I have a small steam cleaner, but this seems to mostly just move it around.

    Any suggestions for a product that could help? I saw a YT vid for some kind of spray, but I think it was a US product

    I want to clean the screen before I investigate changing the fan.

    It won't fit in my DW, I'll give it a try in a box lined with plastic

    I managed to get it in the DW by removing a plate rack and inserting it diagonally. All squeaky clean now! One part I tried with 2 DW tabs, it started overflowing suds over the floor, wouldn't recommend that. Maybe there's a door seal issue tho.

    Thanks CH

    Glad to help!
    Just to add when I was in charge of domesticques here for a 3 month period I used to put the enamelled cash iron pot supports that were on the gas hob in the DW.

    When the OH returned she was not best pleased as it had removed the shine off the enamel :)
