Hey everyone! I'm looking for some insights from anyone who has experience with appliance repairs. My dishwasher is leaving food residue on my dishes, and I did a bit of digging into the issue. According to the manual, the water should reach 135°F on the high heat setting, but it only gets up to 109°F. I've read that the common culprits could be the heating element, thermostat, or control panel. I tested the heating element and thermostat, and both passed with a multimeter. Before I shell out $280 on a new control panel, is there a way to test it? Or is there something else I might be missing?

Have you tried adding a rinse aid? It might help boost your cleaning results. It can't hurt to give it a shot!
Don't forget to check the drain filter! If it’s blocked, that could be affecting the washing performance too.
Is that the filter located inside under the racks?

Thanks, but I already added rinse aid and it's still not working.
