Wait. Do you people just throw dishes in the wash without rinsing them first?
Modern dishwashers don’t need you to rinse first
My dishwasher is pretty new and if I don’t rinse things off relatively thoroughly beforehand I’m guaranteed to have stuck on food bits after the dry cycle.

Big fan of his channel. Just watched him talk about a retro-aesthetic fridge for an hour a couple days ago.
He’s awesome. I hope his dishwasher videos can help you out!

Put soap in to be used on the pre wash cycle too. I use powder and put some in the dispenser and some on the door right before I close it.

I very rarely have any problems with stuck on food bits save for some really difficult stuff like herbs that were in oil that sat out for a day or two and dried. But then leaving it in for another cycle always finishes the job.
