I had the same problem with mine a couple years ago. Take apart the bottom section under the jets. I found a ton of grease and crap caked in there that cleaning wouldn't get. Has worked fine ever since.

I've always had the habit of rinsing all my dishes off in the sink, getting 99% of food residue off before putting in the dishwasher. Kind of defeats the purpose of the dishwasher, but it's just a habit from back when I had a horrible old dishwasher.

I had to snap apart the rotating arms that spray the dishes. The small holes in them had many years of mineral build up from well water, and were mostly plugged. Mine snapped apart pretty easy for cleaning.

How old is your dish detergent?
I made the mistake of stocking up on a good sale once, and ended up throwing the last 2 away, as it would leave basically sandy grit on many dishes. I did the same as you with vinegar and cleaning the machine. New detergent solved my issue. |

Look
There is nothing wrong with your dishwasher. About 12-15 years ago they removed phosphates from all sorts of detergents. Phosphate is what cleans your dishes and other stuff. Add TSP (tri sodium phosphate) to soap or try different soap as some work pretty good now. |

Does it drain into a garbage disposal? Mine didn't have a "high loop" in the line when we moved in, and it would backwash into the dishwasher and not clean the dishes very well.
Also, do you guys not clean the food off your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher?? |

If it's not an issue with your actual machine (filters, caked on junk, ect) then make sure you use those Cascade Platinum Pods. Those things are a million times better than powdered detergent.

If there are "little bits of food are deposited everywhere, but especially on the top rack," then cleaning the spray arms isnt the problem.
Its recirculating dirty water by the sound of it. See if the chopper/strainer is broken or clogged. Its pretty common. Biggest problem that i see with dishwashers is that the drain line is not routed to have a proper loop. This causes siphoning and then food from the previous wsshing cycle is being dumped back into the sump. Does the dishwasher smell? https://www.structuretech.com/blog/dishwasher-drain |

If it drains through the garbage disposal check the opening where the dishwasher drain line goes into disposal. Sometimes coffee grounds, rice, potato skins, etc. will restrict that hole so the water doesn’t drain out. This leaves used water with all that food and crap inside the dishwasher.
I add a shake or two of lemishine in the bottom of each load. Keeps the lines clear and doesn’t leave the white spots on glass. |

I removed the spray bars. Didn't disassemble, but they had free, easy flow.
I checked the drain line into the disposal. The line had a loop, but it was not much on one. Just duct taped it higher. |

Lemi Shine dishwasher cleaner... Its like a laxative for dishwashers. Vinegar is good but too weak. Remember to put the cleaner in both the soap dispenser and the pre wash or sprinkle on the bottom.

make sure you run hot water in the sink until it's as hot as it gets.
If you don't do that your dishwasher may see only a very small amount of hot water during its cycle. It needs hot water. |

I have been battling this as well in our Maytag. It was a combination of things:
The filter in the bottom was full of mineral deposits and what appeared to be paper towel pieces. The top arm, under the basket had a couple clogged holes, so I cleaned those out. Then I realized that there was a ‘connection’ in the back of the dishwasher that fed water into the top spinning arm... we had a habit of letting the dishwasher door push the top rack closed and I realized by doing that, the rack wasn’t being pushed back enough to connect with that water port. |

Is it plastic lined or stainless? If you wash a lot of plastic disches you will get a static charge in a plastic lined dishwasher.
Then everything sticks. They make a product that cleans and takes the static out. Various compasnis make it |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You need that phosphate additive Exactly this. Trisodiumphosphate. Available at Home Depot and Lowes in the paint department. Get the real stuff, not the "phosphate free" shit. Add a teaspoon or tablespoon to the detergent, or as much as will fit in the reservoir. Use the detergent pods. |

STPP is what I use and cleans super well. If you don't overdo it with TSP it won't be an issue. I've used TSP for over two years since buying this house and never had an etching issue. TSP is also much easier to get than STPP. When I've got a load of nasty dishes I use both along with the detergent pod. |
