I've got a kenmore dishwasher that came with our house. I estimate it to
be under 10 years old....its a reasonably modern piece.

the machine seems to cycle properly, and does all the things it usually
does. however i've noticed a decline in clean quality. glasses come out
spotty and mucked up....sometimes certain dishes dont' get clean at all.

i've been using cascade with pure-rinse powdered detergent with Jet Dry
brand rinse product ever since we moved here....no changes in soap or
anything...

is there something simple to look at? its almost as if the jet dry isn't
being released....is there a way for the mechanism that releases the rinse
aid to get clogged? anything else to look at that would be an easy fix?

Could be a couple of things. Easiest to check is the spray bars. Be sure
they are not clogged and can turn freely. While you are at it, check the
filter and behind the filter where the water goes back to the pump. It
could be the pump is not pumping as well as it should too.
