My motherfucking dishwasher sucks. Not in a good way either. This piece of shit is only like a year and a half old. I've had problems with it since before I can remember. I wash the dishes... AND THEY COME OUT WORSE. They have soap shit ALL OVER THEM. I've tried different detergents, I've tried smaller loads. Ive tried washing and then rinsing after I wash. I've tried praying to god. I've tried mixing some detergent with some other liquid detergent shit. I've tried voodoo. Nothing fucking works. Why the fuck should I have a dishwasher if it doesn't work? It'd just be faster to wash the motherfucking dishes myself What the fuck. I really hope someone here can help me or we are goign to have a fcking christmas murder on our hands. It's me or the dishwasher and I'm bringing a baseball bat. '{

you've tried using less dishwasher detergent? i would suggest using only a very little bit and then if there is no soap residue then add a little more next time.

also, i'm only asking to ensure i cover everything, but you are selecting a rinse cycle in addition to the wash cycle right?

Fire the bitch and hire another one.


How's your water? Hard or soft?

Soft water requires a LOT less detergent than hard water.

Post your dishwasher make and model.

If you have soap residue in the bottom of the machine after it's finished...or if you can start the machine with NO soap...and get soapy residue/water in the bottom, (check the water after you start the cycle) then you've been using too much soap. Try pouring a cup of cooking oil in the bottom of the dishwasher and running it. The oil will help neutralize the soap.

Then, run the diswasher with less soap.

(that tip was from the Kenmore dishwasher repairguy when he replaced an element in out d/w a few years ago and saw some soap residue in the bottom)

Do you have hard water? I think that can leave a soap like residue feeling and require 2 rinses to remove.

Check the drain hose where it goes into the garbage disposal. Sometimes debris from the disposal will siphon back into d/w and impede the drain. Sometimes the knockout plug has never been removed but there would be standing water and it would be recirculating the same water in each load.

I used to hate my dishwasher until I switched from the gel back to powder.

 

[Cuda1447]

I may have hard water, not entirely sure how to tell?

I have tried using very little dish detergent, to no avail. To give you an idea, I just washed some dishes. They came back smeared with detergent, so I ran the dishwasher again just on rinse cycle hoping to get rid of the detergent without doing it by hand. Nope, the shits still there.

I've tried gel and powder. I've also tried goat blood, just in case my dishwater was a deity that required sacrifices.

I have a suggestion that worked for me. My dishwasher would always leave residue on my glassware and gunk that looked like dried up sand. I ran two cycles with a cup of baking soda and 4 cups of vinegar, and it works much better now. the vinegar cleans out the hard water deposits in the lines among other things. baking soda i guess has a cleaning agent in it too.

I found this trick online, but i've always used vinegar to clean household things in the past, such as my coffee maker.

Good tip, I'll give it a try.

I've found that anything in the top rack which can possibly have standing water will ruin all of the clean dishes in the entire thing. Even a 1 cup measuring cup in the top rack will flip upside down, hold water, which somehow splashes around in the dry cycle.

 

[SAWYER]

My dishwasher has started leaking, I'm guessing it is the outer seal but no sure. I did notice standing water in the bottom of mine

Bosch FTW.

This. I have a Kenmore rebranded Bosch. Does a fantastic job. Had it for about three years. Not a single problem. Dead silent too.

 

[Cattlegod]

Try running it with a few clean dishes and no detergent to help find out if it is a soap/hard water/ drain issue

Check the drain...

Yup. Look here first.

this 100%

i had a POS dish washer that sounded like a damn Harley in the kitchen it cleaned well but holy shit was it loud. seriously it was so loud you could not talk in the kitchen. bought a bosch because my sister got one and raved about them so yea bosch rule.

 

[TreyRandom]

I run every load with a half cup of vinegar sitting in the top rack. Works like a charm.

This. Germans got their shit right.

well you can taste it, or see if there's white hard residue on your shower nozzle or other surfaces where the water gets and dries on its own.

 

[Rastus]

Make sure the tower thingy in the center is free. It rises with water pressure and if it's binding you won't get your dishes clean.
