I've never found CLR to work that great on heavier deposits of mineral
buildup. What's better?

What are you trying to clean?
At the moment the mineral buildup on the bottom of a dishwasher but as
a rule I don't find CLR to work that well.

Run the dishwasher empty a few times with LemiShine.

Try "LemiShine" for Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Disposals. I don't
know what is in it as I don't see an ingredient list. My dishwasher
was really cruddy and nothing I tried including the real TSP wouldn't
touch it. One dose of lemishine and it was showroom clean. Wal Mart
had it in their cleaners section. Small boxbox

Probably what a parts store or the manufacturers recommend. Don't they have a
cycle they have to be put through and then rinsed several times? Ice is a food.

Vinegar...but Danny's Q as to what are you trying to clean should be
answered first.

After reading about, and then trying, readily available pool grade
muriatic acid; I'm convinced the only way to go!

About $5 per gal at HD, beats CLR which was like nothing, a total
waste of time and money

Muriatic acid was intantly, then didn't have to do again for about a
month. Keeps everything looking like new.
