There is a waste filter in the bottom under the lower spray arm that needs to be cleaned periodically. If you are not cleaning it, it may be redepositing food particles on your dishes.
remove and clean the filter, and see if that helps.

Depending on the machine you have it will have a filtering system to filter out food waste as it washes. This stops the food from being circulated by the wash process as water is cycled through the pump, internal plumbing, and washer arms. Your unit is failing to filter the water.
On the base of your unit in the centre on the floor will be a drain. Some have a visible filter and others have "soft food disposal" system. They are meant to be opened and cleaned from time to time and yours sounds like it is time.
Visible filters will lift out. Some you turn or there will be a catch holding it in place. Others will have obvious screws holding the filer. Open yours and take a look for food waste or debris clogging the drain and filter. Clear out anything you see there.
The washer arms also clog over time. You can remove them also and clear away anything from inside. The holes in the arms can be cleaned with a bamboo skewer or piece of wire. This often makes on old tired machine perform like new again.
While you are in there, check under the float valve. It looks like an upside down tea cup on the floor of the machine usually near the front. Make sure nothing is stuck under it and that it lifts up and down freely.
