The dishes on the top rack don't seem to get as clean as the dishes on the bottom. In particular, small bowls and glasses seem to be covered with a grainy scum when cycle is done. Is there anything I can do to help this problem?
Hi If the top rack of the dishwasher
doesn't get clean, check your appliance to see if you can fix the problem. Then check to see if your
dishwasher has clogged filters. Filters generally cover the drain valve area to
catch debris as the water drains from the dishwasher. Many dishwashers have
maintenance-free filters, but your dishwasher may have filters that need
cleaning. Read your owner's manual before you perform any filter maintenance to
avoid damaging your dishwasher. Check your water temperature to
make sure it's hot enough. Water that is under 120 degrees Fahrenheit may not
be hot enough to clean dishes effectively. Turn your kitchen hot water tap on
and wait until the water warms up completely. Fill a cup and measure the water
temperature with a kitchen thermometer. If the water is less than 120 degrees
Fahrenheit, turn your water heater up to 120 degrees. Load the top rack properly. Place
cups and bowls upside down in the rack and don't nest dishes because this can
prevent water from reaching dishes. Don't overload the top rack. Instead,
position each item so the dirty areas of the dishes will receive full contact
with water spraying up from the main spray arm located beneath the top rack.
Prevent items from hanging below the top rack, which could prevent the spray
arm from rotating. Also check this link for more helpful

First
check the spray Arms to make sure the holes in the spray arms are free and
clear of debris. Your dishwasher should have several spray arms, including one
at the bottom of the tub, one under the top rack, and possibly a third spray
arm on the top of the tub. Sometimes food and mineral deposits can block holes
in the spray arms, preventing water from spraying effectively. If this occurs,
warm some white vinegar and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the holes with
the vinegar and dislodge debris with a toothpick or large safety pin.
