Default Grit in glasses on top shelf
Model Number: GU1500   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 5 - 10 years   

For months, I've found grit in the glasses after a washing cycle. The glasses are on the top shelf. This doesn't happen if I put the glasses on the bottom rack. My husband thought it was because the bottom shelf was overloaded, but it happens if I leave the bottom rack empty. The garbage disposal is always run before I start the dishwasher, and I let hot water run through both sides of the sink.

What is causing this problem? I'm becoming disgusting with this "highly rated" dishwasher recommended by Consumer Reports. I end up washing the glasses by hand, which defeats the purpose of having a dishwasher in the first place. Is there something defective in the upper rack's sprayer?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Default grit on glasses

Have you cleaned the sprayer below the top rack? - sometimes it gets clogged w/ stuff and you can poke it out w/ a toothpick. If it isn't that, you chopper assembly might be bad. I replaced mine a couple of years ago - getting all the stuff off to get to it is a bear, in fact I am trying to check it again and can't get the last cover off - I'm looking for help on that now.

Dishes don't come out very clean, glasswear is the worst, i have checked the screen filter and seems to be clean. How much soap should we use? Do we fill the soap holder only once? Water temp. is about 160
