I've had this GE dishwasher for a couple of years, and things have been fine. A few months ago, it started leaving dishes dirty. I can't figure out why.
By "dirty", I mean the dishes (mostly the glasses in the top rack) are coming out with crumbly gunk stuck to them (basically baked-on from the heat drying). Otherwise, the dishes are mostly getting pretty clean. So, maybe what I should be complaining about is that my dishwaster is not rinsing properly.
I've ensured that
- it's getting hot water (run water hot first, also use 'pre-heat' wash)
- I'm running 'pots & pans' heavy-duty cycle
- I've cleaned the spray arm of any lodged gunk
- I've tried different soaps
The last thing I can think of is that my water has gone hard, and the soap is not activating properly.
Any further things to try?
