I don't know what that brown stuff is, but if vinegar doesn't take care of it, try to find some Lemi Shine Dishwasher Cleaner.  It's a different product than the Lemi Shine glassware additive.   I got a 3-pack of it at Target a while back, but now they don't seem to carry it.

any time you have something foaming in a dishwasher add either cooking oil or fabric softener.

Cleaning Dried Rinse Aid Out Of A DW

combo52's profile picture

The first thing to always use to clean the inside of a DW is a high quality DW detergent, such as the high priced detergent tablets.

 

For the sudsing use cooking oil and put down an old bath towel and let the DW run a cycle or two.

 

Vinegar is ok for mineral buildup, but even for these it is better to use a proper DWer cleaner.
