Need help cleaning new stainless steel Maytag Dishwasher

Yes

the lower wash arm does wiggle some.

It had been a few months since I had ran citric acid through mine, so after I finished a load last night and unloaded it - (I fill the main wash full of citric acid), then I put on the jetclean cycle which runs about 2 and a half hours. When done, the stainless, heating element, everything shined like new. Hopefully if your dishwasher is in working condition, you can get it looking new again inside.

Mine too Dustin, it's just taking a vacation in MIL's basement while the new KUDI23 is working hard.  My 97 Maytag still works great, just needs a little TLC after almost 20 years of trouble-free operation.  I'm going to return it to it's portable state in a custom-built kitchen island to use for a spare.

I just noticed something about my Maytag

The other day, I used the Jetclean steam cycle completely empty with citric acid. When the machine is empty, it makes a much more noticeable water sloshing while the machine is running, right? So fast forward to my dishwasher being full last night and I needed to run it, and I always just hit start to start the cycle because the machine remembers the last cycle. The dishwasher was packed full of dishes.

Not paying attention and I had forgotten that I had the last cycle on Jetclean/Steam which I almost never use, but I end up using normal, hi temp, tough scrub, no dry. While the machine was running, it sounded like a LOT more vigorous water sloshing than I'm used to hearing and it was at this point I noticed it was on Jetclean/Steam, so I let it go. I just thought jetclean/steam had a longer wash cycle and perhaps more rinses, but I had no clue it had a more vigorous wash action or filled with more water per fill, but apparently it does.
