I had no idea these filter systems were so effective.
There's a lot of physics and hydrodynamics going on there: large holes, strong upward thrust of water, powerful oscillations--and, Hey!-- it's a Norge, Baby! Have had a lot of luck with a gallon of white vinegar and a gallon of water heated for other problems, but it's worth a try. If you have the extra-low water level available, heat up some vinegar and water, and let her agitate and/or if you can't or don't have enough solution to achieve agitation, let the drain hose squirt the solution into the holes. With relative ease, you can hold the rim of the tub to keep it from spinning. On second thought, the drain method probably won't be so effective, but the agitation with scalding vinegar and water is worth a try. I was able to loosen a stuck spindrier in an Easy after dozens of failures; nothing else worked except the hot vinegar, etc. Hope it helps. | ||

HAHAHA! I bet a pipe cleaner would do the trick, but I can't come up with one that is that flexible. The gunk is pretty stuck in there, I don't know if air would blow it out. Bobby in Boston | ||
