Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. Burned on food should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils. Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting the dishwasher.

If your
dishwasher has worked fine in the past but, suddenly, your dishes
aren't clean after the dishwasher completes all cycles:
1) Check your water heater's temperature dial to be sure it hasn't been changed recently.
2)
Be sure dishes haven't prevented the detergent dispenser from opening
properly during the wash cycles or kept the spray arms from turning,
the lower arm from rising, or the spray from reaching the upper rack's
dishes.
3) During the
wash cycle, listen to the spray arm spinning inside. If it seems to be
spinning poorly, clean out the spray holes in the spray arm(s) with a
stiff piece of wire; wait for the machine to cool, and then remove the
spray arm(s) by unscrewing the hub cap and lifting the arm(s) off.
Hi,
I
have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained
about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain
to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed
them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also
found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess
things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out
the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that
will help you with the online buying...
