Dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly

At home in Charlotte my dishwasher started leaving food and grease on dishes after a full cycle. It still runs normally, no strange sounds, but cleaning performance dropped suddenly. Not sure what could cause this or what I should check first.

This often happens when the filter gets clogged or the spray arms stop rotating properly. I’d start by cleaning the bottom filter and checking for leftover debris inside the spray holes. Also make sure nothing is blocking movement during the cycle. If that doesn’t help, it could be a pump or heating issue. At that point it makes sense to use emergency appliance repair so a technician can inspect it properly and figure out what actually failed instead of guessing.
