How to clean dishwasher?
My dishwasher not cleaning. It's a Frigidaire, about 5 years old. I've tried 2 different dishwasher cleaners. I'm now washing by hand. I think I remember seeing something about Borax on here. Help me!

How to Clean a Dishwasher With Borax
First, does your dishwasher have a removable filter in the bottom that you can take out and clean? If it does, that could be your problem....if not, maybe the arms on your dishwasher are plugged. Try running an empty dishwasher, normal setting and two cups of vinegar in a dish on the lower rack. (Vinegar wash is what my manual says). Vinegar should clean out the holes in the arms also. I use Finish Quantum Max for my dishwasher detergent and does a very good job. With that, it contains a rinse agent so no need to add more.
