Help!! dishwasher not cleaning pots

juststarting_2

Please help my dishwasher isn't cleaning the pots anymore. It makes all the right sounds and water is moving. I haven't changed my tablets and I have cleaned the filter and run an empty wash with white vineger at its hottest temp. Any ideas of what else I could I try, Thanks http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/smilies/speechless-smiley-040.gif

Take a look at the holes the water comes out of in the lower spray arm.

Especially the one at the end!

It usually points out of the side and is the one that rotates the arm in a circle. If this one is blocked it just sits there spraying straight up so will only clean what is directly above it.

I find sometimes the plastic pipe at the bottom of the dishwasher gets dislodged and has to be pushed back into its socket again. Though it causes all the dishes to be dirty, not just pans...

Where is this pipe? I have had a look to but can't find it is it easy to see?
thanks

Ours runs right to the middle of the base of hte dishwasher, when you pull out the bottom drawer you can't miss it. It often looks like it's okay but when you check it's loose. Don't know a lot about DW having only recently got this one myself but it would be worth having a poke around any pipes etc you see inside it just to check if any of them are loose.

The other thing I find is that some of my big stirring spoons get in the way of the spray arm on the bottom of the top drawer which can also cause some things not to be cleaned...

Hope you get it sorted..
