Hello,

my Kenmore diskwaher leave grit and garbage on my dishes. this is not
from the dishes that are put in it. the arems move ok and are not
clogged.
drain is not clogged. seems to be heating and filling ok?
any suggenstions hot to fix this? is there a buildup of gunk someplace.

thanks


Some detergents leave behind what looks like grit. That happens when the
water is not circulating properly, the water is not hot enough, or the water
is hard and not rinsing properly.

It is also possible that you are suddenly getting grit from your water
source or the hot water heater is about to crap out and is sending mineral
deposits. Take some hot water in a clean glass container and let it settle
out overnight to see if there is any solids.

Do all dishwashers have a way of heating the incoming water, or just the
better ones?

AFAIK All do. BUT a repairman recommended that all users let hot water
run at kitchen faucet till it is really hot prior to turning on DW.

Try running some vinegar in your next load. It will also shine your
dishes.
