Dishwasher is 12 years old. Last 2 runs, dish soap dispenses but stays caked in the bottom of the dishwasher and doesn't dissolve. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Check for power at fill valve when it is supposed to fill. If power, check filter in valve. If not clogged replace valve. This is about the only repair I would make on a machine this old. They are really not designed to last more than 10 years. The new ones are much quieter, efficient and clean better. The fill valve should cost around $25 and you can easily replace it yourself.
