Dishwasher problem is universal, they've reformulated every detergent to not contain phosphates.

Ooh, sorry I missed this last night, that does explain a lot -although not the disparity between the top and bottom rack that has appeared. Glad we haven't forked out for a new one yet.....

Explains a lot, I noticed the Palmolive detergent we had said "eco friendly, no phopshate" I knew this was a bad sign.

The interior of the door is caked with a white crust, the top spinner was compeletly clogged too, I expect that there is build up inside somehwere harder to reach .

In the article one woamn has bought Phosphate fromt he store and is adding it back in, might be wortha try.

white crust sounds like mineral deposits. Hard water? Try running a cycle with mineral remover or vinegar. Obviously you'd have to wait for the pump out cycle to be done, then pop it open and dump a bunch of vinegar in. That might work, it seems to work for coffee makers which are essentially dishwasher running in reverse, right?


I highly recommend this site for all things appliance related:

I was gonna suggest buying some TSP and adding it in, but it's getting hard to find real TSP too.
