Dishwasher Leaving Soap Residue
I have a model GSM1800JWW dishwasher, all of a sudden it is leaving soap residue on everything. I have cleaned the filters (the cup and the fine filter get very clogged) I've also cleaned the spray arms. I've run it empty with hot water, but it is still leaving a lot of residue when I try to wash dishes. The whole stainless steel bottom below the rack is covered with white reisdue. Is there something I haven't cleaned, if so where . There is a small cap thing on the right inside panel and also one on the door above the soap dispenser, are these supposed to come out? Help?????
