Run the washer on some empty cycles with the cleaning solution/powder/tablets you usually use. Also rinse the dishes etc before you put them in the washer
Residue on your dishes can be caused by inadequate drainage of the machine. Most new machines are pumping the gray water through 6+ feet of hose to an air gap,(that chrome thing next to your faucet) and then on in to a disposal or right into the sink drain plumbing. The problem is occurring when the pump finishes and then all of the gray water remaining in the 6 feet of hose flows back into the machine!!! So in a nut shell you are never getting all of the dirty water with its associated food particles(which tend to collect in the bottom of the machine due to this feature of gravity ) The ONLY way to fix this problem and get your dish machine to drain everything all of the time is to re-route the drain connection to a point lower than the pump in the bottom of the machine.
Also the problem can be caused for hard water and there is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. it actually filters the water going into your dishwasher and leaves your dishes spot free. after the first load i was amazed that the white film was gone and my dishes were sparkling. you can get it atwww.dishwasherfilter.com
Also its possible you have a low water fill problem or maybe a water temperature problem. The water should be at least 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit to start with. Gel soaps can cause a lot of problems with scum and leaving a white residue, mostly when there is not enough water in the dishwasher. After it fills there should be water almost up to the heating element. Please accept the solution if it's helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.
Hello there If your dishwasher's cycle times are too long,
check these:Water
pre-heatingCycle
not completingWater pre-heatingYour dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and
if the water entering the dishwasher is cool, the heater may take up to
half an hour to heat the water. To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water
temperature before turning on the dishwasher. Do that by running the
kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the
temperature of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water
heater.Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set
the hot water heater temperature higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
I fiked my problum of the Control light staying on...on the inside door it says press and hold the no heat button for four seconds. I did that and it fixed the control lock light and washer is now fine and working. Save myself some money
Check that the door is closed, and ckeck the door sensor. if the door sensor is OK, you may need to replace the cycle timer. See also suggestions here.
If it is not overfilling, and then leaking, the whirring noise can be a defective water inlet valve, that stays stuck on open, see here : It's overfilling
If it is not overfilling, the two problems may be unrelated, and the noise can be froma foreign object inside the object trap.
YOUR MAN WAS OF ABSOLUTLY NO HELP IN SOLVING MY PROBLEM. I ENDED UP CALLING SEARS AND THEY SENT A TECH OUT. YOUR MAN SAID TO TAKE THE DISHWASHER OUT AND TURN IN ON IT'S BACK AND I COULD ACCESS THE PUMP. THE TECH SAID THIS WAS NOT TRUE. YOU CAN ACCESS THE PUMP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DISHWASHER. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT YOUR TECH HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE MACHINE. AS IT TURNED OUT, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DISHWASHER. IT HAD A KINK IN THE DISCHARGE HOSE.....P
If it is doing when it is washing, then it likely to be a problem with the pump, but it might just be 'hunting' because the filters are partially blocked. There is the filter that you can see easily, but there is a fine filter underneath that blocks with fine grey lint.
Water left in the bottom can be caused by that because the drain pump is past the filter and is on a timer.

To open the Kenmore World class dishwasher, follow these means:
Press-and-hold down the "Sani-Wash" button for somewhere around three seconds until the showcase screen counts down from three to nothing. The red "Lock" Drove ought to now douse and you ought to now have the option to get to each of the buttons on the control center.
If you're experiencing an ERR code and flashing lights on your Kenmore dishwasher model 587, it indicates an error or fault in the dishwasher's operation. Unfortunately, without specific details about the error code or which lights are flashing, it's challenging to provide a precise solution. However, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check the owner's manual: Refer to the dishwasher's manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. It should also provide troubleshooting steps specific to your model.
2. Power cycle the dishwasher: Turn off the dishwasher by unplugging it from the power outlet or shutting off the circuit breaker that supplies power to it. Leave it disconnected for a few minutes to ensure a complete power cycle. Then, plug it back in or switch the circuit breaker back on.
3. Check for obstructions: Inspect the dishwasher's interior, specifically the spray arms, filters, and drain pump, for any obstructions such as food debris or foreign objects. Clean or remove any blockages that you find.
4. Run a diagnostic cycle: Some dishwashers have a diagnostic mode that can help identify the cause of the error. Refer to the manual for instructions on how to initiate the diagnostic cycle.
5. Contact customer support: If the issue persists or you are unable to determine the cause of the error, it's recommended to reach out to Kenmore customer support or a qualified appliance repair technician. They will be able to provide further assistance and help resolve the problem.
Remember, the specific steps and options may vary depending on your dishwasher model. Consulting the owner's manual is always the best course of action when troubleshooting appliance issues.
Unfortunately, that sounds like a control board issue, although if you are lucky, it is just bad connections _to_ the control board.
They are expensive so need correct diagnosis by a tech. Then you get warranty on the parts and the job.
