Default Kitchen Aid Dishwasher not cleaning as well as before.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my three year old KitchenAid
Diswasher doesn't clean as well.

Things I have verified are the water is hot enough, I cleaned the
sprayer arm from broken glass and other trapped food particles. I set
the water sprayer to 5 from a range of 1 - 5, 5 being the highest spray
pressure.

Something I did notice is that the motor used to be louder when it
cleaned really well and now it's not as loud...

Could be the motor is on the way out and not turning as fast to pump the
water as well as it should.

Is it getting enough water? If not, check float switch and the fine
mesh filter where the hot water pipe connects to the dishwasher.
