Any dishwasher will have a problem cleaning if the water pressure to the unit is low. If you do not have the water temp reaching the unit at 120-140ºF at least. The detergent will not dissolve and wash the cookware. Also do not over load the unit on the top rack. The sprayer arm assembly won't turn meaning you will not see clean cookware. Also make sure you have plenty of water pressure to the unit - this is the ONLY thing that makes the spray arm rotate.
