Speaking of gross, it is amazing how nasty the drain cover and "inerds" of the Natulis get. You would think it would stay clean with the detergent but nasty crap builds up in and around there and needs to be cleaned monthly. Maybe your WP has similar areas. | ||

this may help
My friends whirlpool was doing similar, it was because the top rack had a connector at the rear which fed the upper spray arm, and even though the top rack pushed in normally it was not connecting with the outlet on the back wall of the machine, if you jiggled the rack up and down and pushed hard the rack engaged correctly and and correct pressure was resumed in top rack. This had to be done each time it was used, they had put up with the poor cleaning by always using the intensive wash and under loading it assuming that was what needed, and therefore the lower wash arm was probably doing most of the cleaning. This may be worth checking as well as all the other suggestions

Ran into that problem a while back when using the Cascade All-In-One packs - always seemed to be the glasses in the back corners of the upper rack ended up with dried-on crud inside them that wasn't there when they went in. Switched over to the (at the time phosphated) Finish Quantum Powerball pacs and all of the sudden, glasses were clean and sparkly again! When phosphates went away I went back to trying the Cascade pacs since the FQB P-free pacs weren't working as well (cloudy glasses), and that improved things... but the sticky bits on the glasses eventually came back. Finally switched back to the FQP-free pacs with 1/2 tsp STPP in pre- and main-wash and now it is as good as it was originally.
I think the FQP pacs must have a better rinse-agent onboard to keep that stuff from getting into and sticking on the glasses. | ||

If the diswasher is less than 2 years old why don't you call the seller and ask for a free repair under warranty? | ||

Sounds like you water may be too hot????? I thought enzyme detergents work best at lower temps. | ||

I finally got to running the first load friday night and unloaded it saturday afternoon and everything came out spotless and dry. No residue on any glasses. I guess there was a clog in the tube for the upper wash arm. It flushed itself out and its working like new again. Jon | ||

If your gel packs are not disolving make sure that you don't have any large pots on the bottom rack below the detergent dispenser. Our neighbor had this problem with her WP DW. I told her to make sure there is a little bit of room on the lower rack under the dispenser so that the wash water can flush out the dispenser. She followed my advice and had no more problems. | ||

Too Cold. I would suspect that water being too cold would more likely be the culprit. Some dishwashers don't pause the timer to allow for water heating to a preset temperature. Others do. Some dishwashers, if you turn the heating element off for drying, it also prevents it from heating water during washing and rinsing. My Aunt had an old Whirlpool back in the 70's that was configured this way.

In Commercial Applications...
The Wash Water should never be more than 165 F. Anything above will bake on stubborn food soil. The Final Rinse should never be more than 193-195F. This High Temp will cause Blue Streaks on Glasses and Flatware. And Possibly on Dishes as well. As I understand Very High Water Temperatures in combination with the Drying Agent will produce the Blue Streaks.
This is in a Commercial Application. | ||
