The end holes were clogged up on the top one, one hole was clogged on the bottom one, and a lot of stuff came out (the top one, especially). Some of it was like little rocks (i'm thinking bits of bone or crab shells? - that's what it looked like).




Hard water deposits, undesolved soap, both.

and these looked like they were clogged up with gelatinous detergent. Is this possible?




Sure, water temp should be min 120ºF to desolve the soap correctly and the closer to 140ºF the better.

can i run white vinegar through this thing? What will get that stuff out?




*I* don't like using vinegar in a d/w as the vinegar has a tendancy to eat away at rubber items. A little bleach can help. There are also some good d/w products on the market...

Am i using the wrong detergent?




Maybe for your area/water/washing habits.

Leaks at the upper spray arm docking stations can also cause low water pressure for the upper rack(s)...worn docking stations are common.
