Question

What is wrong with our dishwasher? it does not dissolve all the soap no matter what brand of soap we use.?

Answer 1

some options

did you run the faucet to get the water HOT, and then turn on the  dishwasher?   (you should)

if you have hard water ( high mineral content) it is difficult for soap ( any soap) to dissolve completely

and, of course, there could be something wrong with the machine.

Answer 2

Are you sure you aren't loading dishes into the oven?

Answer 3

Are you sure the element hasn't gone? Ours went like this and we found out it wasn't heating up properly.

Answer 4

I had that problem with mine, too so I switched to liquid detergent.  I don't have any problems with it anymore.
