Soap Does Not Dissolve in Dishwasher

That happens with mine too. Every once in a while I pour almost boiling water over the dispenser to remove any buildup that might cause the dispenser to stick. Also, I run hot water in the dishpan so the dw doesn't have to work so hard to heat (appliance guy recommendation). Big loads I punch hot water setting, too.

Check to see what your water heater's setting is, we turned ours up so our DW would dissolve the soap. Good luck.

Try adding vinegar to your detergent, also I notice that when I used cheap dishwasher detergent this happen. But adding vinegar to it the dishes comes out sparkling.
Also, that powder detergent will get old and it will not dissole properly, but add vinegar to it and you will not have any problem.

The spring that opens the holder might be rusty. If Iwere you I would buy the dishwasher pellets (I use them all the time) and drop one in the silverware rack. It will desolve and wash the glasses.

The water in the washer may not be getting hot enough to dissolve the granules.
You can try the gel or liquid dishwasher detergents, and see if that works any better.
