I get some patches of soap that sticks to the dishes on the bottom rack. It seems to work fairly well if I set it to pots and pans but then I'm faced with a 2 1/2 hour wash cycle and all my plastics are shrinking. I thought it was because of cheap soap but even the expensive soap sits at the bottom. What do I need to do?:confused:

Could be a low fill problem most units fill to just under the heating element. Often if it is a low fill issue, you can hear it, the pump will growl because it is sucking in air. You can check this by adding a quart or two of hot water after each fill during a cycle. If it now washes OK then I would check the screen filter on the input side of the water valve for a partial plug. If dirty clean it. Do not permanently remove it from the valve as it is there to keep crud out of the valve which could hold it open and cause a flood. Just be careful to not over fill it. Also check/clean the filters in the unit and the pump for debris.
