I had to turn up my water temperature. It simply was not getting a hot enough water temperature. That helped a lot. But the 2nd thing was to abandon the auto dispense liquid dishwasher soap. I don't think it was putting the right amount into the wash and sometimes my dishes would be soapy after it finished washing. I started getting a white film on all my dishes which was hard to get off. I have since switched to the Cascade pellets. I have to put it each time of course, but my dishwasher is finally working after 5 years and I don't have to replace, yet!

I agree, the thing is horrible and leaves big chunks of food all over the inside of cups primarily, but food on plates too. totally unacceptable.

We had a service man out who was useless. he didnt even run the thing.

what i found on my own is that the spray nozzles on the rotating spray arms were clogged. this means that the water the machine is pumping around the system is not being properly screened or filtered. I took apart the arms and manually cleaned the crud out of the nozzles and arms. I was amazed at what came out! I had everything from crumbly white and black crud to pumpkin seeds come out of the arms when I back washed through the spray nozzles. I put the arm in the sink and forced water backwards through the spray openings and watched the junk come out the (in) hole. had to be persistent and took about 10 minutes to clear each arm. I will repost and let you know if it worked. I think it will.

Good luck

Just moved into a home with one of these devilish dishwashers. Relieved that it is not just me (it's been 5 years since I had a dishwasher and thought I must be loading wrong or something), but yeah the dishes (especially pots) come out hideous.

My question is: How do you take apart the arms to clean the nozzles? I don't want to break it just yet.

THANKS!

I was wondering if you ever found out how to clean the spray arms and keep them clean. My spray arm for the upper rack is not rotating.

Thanks,

Did you ever completely fix the problem with the spray arms? My upper one is not spinning and the dishes/glasses on top rack are not getting clean.

Thanks
