There's always that bit of water that the spin cycle can't eliminate. I wonder if that is normal or if the washer is just going kinda kaput.

I was gonna suggest buying some TSP and adding it in, but it's getting hard to find real TSP too.

In the article one woamn has bought Phosphate fromt he store and is adding it back in, might be wortha try.
white crust sounds like mineral deposits. Hard water? Try running a cycle with mineral remover or vinegar. Obviously you'd have to wait for the pump out cycle to be done, then pop it open and dump a bunch of vinegar in. That might work, it seems to work for coffee makers which are essentially dishwasher running in reverse, right?


I highly recommend this site for all things appliance related:

For cleaning the inside of the dishwasher, we love this stuff. Of course with the new dishwasher, this won't be relevant to you for awhile...
