Mine is a 4 year old mid range model Kenmore. It just doesn't do the job even if I put the stuff in there half washed.

Better tablets then?
I haven't had a problem with dishwashers not washing clean in at least 5 or 6 years.

Are you on a well? Could be soft water, though more than likely there is something wrong with the pump or impeller or something like that. I have had to dismantle a couple of dishwashers to find an impeller not seating properly, or a gunked up pump or something like that.

I'd settle for a dishwasher that actually cleans the dishes.

Ba dum bum psssht! ;D
I've torn this thing apart 3 times already. The problem is likely low water pressure. It's on a timed fill and it's not getting enough volume during the fill cycle. I open the thing up and the water level is only halfway up to the heating element. The frustrating part is that the old one we had worked on a float switch so it always filled up nicely. The only reason we replaced that one is because it was 25 years old and the metal tub rusted out.

Has it always done this or did it just start one day? I'm going to assume then that during one of those tear downs you tried replacing the timer. I'm also assuming that when ever you do the dishes you have to resort to filling the thing the rest of the way up with a bucket of water. It sucks when your appliances go on the blink.
