I have seen alot of these that get a stripped out wash impelle. they have a new seal kit and impellerfor these and it seems to be pretty common.
the kit has the install tools and instructions to do it properly.
take the pump apart from the top and see if the impellers look worn or stripped out.

Try changing the type and brand of detergent. We had similar problems with a Maytag dishwasher which was solved by the above. The glasses in particular seemed to have a sand-like texture in the debris, yet drinking water showed no such problem. Hope this helps!
