Problem is getting worse - we tried running empty w/vinegar, running hot water at tap before starting, using pots & pans cycle - nothing helped. There does not seem to be a blockage anywhere but anything on the top level remains dirty and splattered with sandy residue. Any suggestions?
The first thing I would check is the water level inside the dishwasher.
Normally it suppose to be about 1/2" above the floor in the middle of the dishwasher (around the spray arm support).
If there is not enough water, then the water inlet valve has to be replaced.
If there is nothing wrong, check the pop up tower (center spray arm) for any damages.

The part number for the water inlet valve is AP2039339

The part number for the center spray arm is AP2039812

Crap was sticking to the inside bottom of glasses in beuamark whisper IV dishwasher. When I pulled the subject screen off a lot of crap came out, cleaned it well, reassembled, will have to wait till next wash, but I feel good about what I found…Cheers.
Yes, occasionally, you will find you have to do that. I go a step further, and haul out the shop vac, but pour a bit of wather into it afterwards to keep stuff from drying out.
