When I put bowls, coffee mugs, glass jars, loaf pans, etc. on the
bottom shelf of my dishwasher, facing down, they do not come
completely clean. I ran a square freezer container through on the
heavy wash cycle with the "tough scrub plus" option turned on. A
large area on the bottom and one side did not come clean. The food
was very soft tomato sauce. When I touched it lightly with my
thumb, some of it transferred to my thumb. It was softer than warm
pudding.

I took some pictures of the dirty container. I could upload them to
a photo sharing web site if someone wants me to and he/she tells me
what site to use.

I have checked and the bottom spray arm spins easily. None of the
little holes in the spray arm seem to be blocked. I do not think
the dishwasher has mineral buildup because we have a water softner.
I have had the same problem when I used both Cascade and Finish
brand detergent tablets.

The dishwasher is a Maytag model MDB6701AWWW3. It has three spray
arms, one on the bottom spraying up, one in the middle spraying up
and one on the top spraying down.

Does anyone know why my dishwasher is not getting my dishes clean?
Thank you in advance for all replies.

It sounds like you may have plugged jets or the sprayer arm isn't rotating.

Tablets? You can try the gel or some TSP.

Not sure how to tell if the sprayer arms are turning... Maybe you could put
some small cups, mouth up, under a big spaghetti bowl, mouth down. See how
much water gets into each cup? I still suspect the bottom sprayer arm.

Use powdered dishwasher detergent augment by 10% (by weight or volume) of
TSP.

TSP (trisodium phosphate) is available in the paint section of your big box
hardware store.

Warning: "TSP" is both the name of a chemical substance and a brand name.
Get the red box. DO NOT get the green box that has the big letters TSP on
the front. The green box does not contain TSP.

open door with machine running, look for spray arm turning

Just because the sprayer arm is turning does not mean that the impeller is not slipping. If the impeller threads have worn out and not mating well with the motor drive shaft threads there may be enough friction to get the sprayer arm to turn but not enough to develop enough water pressure to clean the dishes. On some dishwasher with this problem the original plastic impellers have been replaced with metal ones. You may need to access the impeller and check out the threads to see if they’re worn out or access the impeller, put something against it and turn on the motor to see if the impeller is slipping and you need to do this without chopping off the ends of your fingers or having the impeller fly-out and hit you in the eye.

Take a closer look at the bottom spray arm.
Not too long ago I noticed that some paper labels off cans had made
their way into the arm. Took a bit of work to get all the paper
out of the arm.

Also the suggestion about opening the door during a washing
a cycle is a good one. The arm should be turning and spraying.

The bottom spray arm only spins when the bottom rack is out. If I
put the empty rack in, the spray arm stays in the same position. (I
opened the door several times and the spray arm was always in the
same position.)

I put in an old rack from the previous dishwasher (a similar Maytag)
and had the same problem. (The middle spray arm will continue to
spin for several seconds after I open the door.)

The spray arm must be rubbing on the bottom of the rack. The ends
of the spray arms will move up and down quite a bit when I push on
them lightly. I think it must be either the spray arm or what it
rides on.

You have to be quick. I've done it many times when I had suspected
the lower arm. When you open the door, the pump stops but momentum
keeps the spray arm going at least a half turn so you can see that it
was moving.

There is no safety switch for the spray arm.

The arm will continue to turn after the door is opened due to a process I've
labeled "inertia."

The water may shut off, but the spray arm keeps spinning. For a revolution
or two. Then it stops via a mechanism that I have labeled "friction."

Someday, both "friction" and "inertia" will be taught in the schools. If
only I could license these two terms...

I just replaced the lower wash arm support on my 10 yr old washer. the
lower arm spun fine and I could see that it had moved when I opened
the door-- but when I was removing things to do my semi-annual
strainer screen cleaning, I noticed some wear on the little plastic
support. The piece acted as a bearing and a diverter to send the
water out through the wash arm. The worn piece opened up another
path for the water, so only a small bit of water was going through the
wash arm.

I don't see that piece listed here for yours--
http://www.repairclinic.com/Shop-For...01AWWW3-%3d%3d

Maybe it is part of another piece on that machine?

I wouldn't suspect detergent problems if it is only the lower shelf
stuff that isn't getting clean.

I cannot see any debris in any of the spray holes. If I open the
door quickly, I see water spraying out of the holes.

If I turn the spray arm by hand, it binds on the bottom of the rack
almost all the way around. I do not think it is a fault with the
rack because I cannot see any bending of the rack or anything
sticking down. The wheels on the rack seem to be in the correct
location and not worn down. Also, the problem happens with TWO
different racks.

rack because I cannot see any bending of the rack or anything
sticking down. The wheels on the rack seem to be in the correct
location and not worn down. Also, the problem happens with TWO
different racks.

Remove rack,
life arm out and examine how it fits onto it's mount.
Possibly it's not going all the way down.
