Hi, for most dishwashers the detergent cup is behind a little door in the door of the dishwasher.. snap open the door and place the detergent in the cup while the door is open and down, then close the little door and then close the dishwasher door...

then you are ready to roll...

Open the cap to the rinse despensor.
There is an arrow in the center that turns.
Turn it a click or 2 toward the dish washer bottom.
The more it faces the bottom the more rinse agent it will despense.
I hope this helps you....

run unit through a clean cycle. turn on hot water at sink til it gets hot then shut off . then tuen ion dishwasher when it starts washing open door and add 2 cups of white distilled vinegar and let it go through a cycle ( no dishes) when done. turn on hot water at sink before you use dish. also fill both soap cups and use rinse aid or jet dry. you should see better improvements. hope this helps..

you need to take the blades that spin out and clean them off they have grime on them, is there water still in the bottom of the dishwasher when done> if so there is a plastic grate in the bottom rear of the dishwasher you need a 1/4 inch nut driver take the cover off and clean the debris out, there is a small stainless steele cutting blade in there be careful, it is to cut up foods that might not be washed off before putting dishes in the washer, also it is pressure that makes the detergent door open make sure you are getting full pressure comming into the waher, if non of this works the pump should be replace or it;s new dishwasher time

ck water level, a few min into wash cycle open door . make sure your water level is just below heater coil

possibly too much or too little rinse aid. check the regulator setting in the dispenser
