I have a brand new dishwasher that can still leave residue or food stuck on dishes or silverware if they sit long enough to dry out. Just because Technology Connections said something in a YouTube video doesn't mean it's a universal truth.

    Even after adding a dash of powder detergent to the pre-rinse (by just tossing some in)?

    You can also eliminate mineral build-up from hard water by adding a cup of white vinegar to a cup or dish in the top rack (left facing up).

    Different person, but yes, even after watching the TC video. I preheat the water too. And it's a fairly recent Miele dishwasher.

    Rinsing the dishes definitely helps cut down on this, though. And occasionally checking the filter at the bottom. A little rinsing goes a long way, I've found.
