Hello, M Cruse -
There are several situations which can result in the dishwasher detergent table not dissolving completely.
First, make sure your dishwasher detergent tablet isn't the kind that has to be removed from a cellophane type wrapping before placing in the dishwasher. I mention this because my husband does not always purchase the same brand of dishwasher detergent tablets. Some are not the kind with plastic which dissolves in the hot water of the dishwasher.
I think the information here:
https://removeandreplace.com/2015/05/15/dishwasher-not-dissolving-detergent-or-tablet-how-to-fix/
covers all the reasons why the dishwasher detergent tablet may not dissolve completely.
We have the problem that the detergent dispenser often "traps" the tablet. We reside in a rental and the landlord has not chosen to replace the dishwasher with a newer model, so we just toss the tablet into the bottom of the dishwasher.
Note: I think purchasing a gel dishwasher detergent would be better, but The Husband likes the tablets. Sigh . . .
Best wishes.

Clean EVERYTHING and ensure it's assembled correctly.
The sprayer arms have an unlocking ring and can be rinsed, the filters must be washed and rinsed and properly reassembled.
Even cleaning the door seals can help.
Test again, clean again (as more muck can be circulated).
