Tavycal,

There are several things you need to check, for a washability problem.

You may want to refer to your User's Manual for more information and clarification.

Check the pump cover, for debris in the slotted openings on the outside, and inside around the center of the interior pump plate.

Check the water ports in the spray arm for debris, also white calcium deposits in the port.

Check your hot water temperature,( 120 dgrs in the tub, on the first fill).

Check the age and condition of the detergent you use, could be too old, if it is separating in the bottle, or clumped up in the box, Buy new.

There are other possibilities, but these checks are a good place to start.

I just noticed that I dont have a over pressure filter in the dishwasher and also I just cleaned a bunch of gook/grease from under/inside the water level float. do I need to buy an over pressure filter and will that help with the cleaning

Tavycal,

No, you don't need to purchase an additional filter.

But based on your float description, My guess is your, hot water temperature in the dishwasher is not high enough, gook and grease in the unit tells me the water temperature is low, or the detergent is not breaking down and removing the debris from the dishes etc.

You may also have a rinse agent build up, due to an improper breakdown and foaming due to low water temp,as well.

Joe, thanks for your help. When I took apart the pump area under the bottom sprayer I found what looked like chicken or fish all along the drain path, clogged. Nobody in the family rinses their dishes , I do it. lol So I guess I was rinsing with dirty water and little pieces of fish/chicken.

I did raise the water temp, also.
