Instead of putting your dishwashing detergent in just put the vinegar in and let it go full cycle. I use "Simple Green" but don't know if you can get that in the U.S. Go to your local grocery store and see what they have that is a degreaser and use that instead.
One easy way is to add a solution of white vinegar to a complete cycle periodically. This should keep your dishwasher fresh and ensure food soils are broken down and washed away during the washing cycle.
Combined with the very hot water and the mechanical action of the dishwasher, white vinegar ensures a high standard of cleanliness than could be achieved by hand washing. As a result, harmful bacteria that might otherwise remain unseen on dishes are destroyed.
Other top dishwasher tips:
• Use the 50°C to 55°C or lower temperature programs instead of high temperature programs when running your dishwasher. It could save you 84kWh in power and save you hundreds of dollars on electricity bills.
• Load dishes according to the dishwasher manufacturers instructions to allow for proper water circulation.
• Check and clean drains and filters regularly to ensure efficient operation.
• Take a few minutes to check in the machine users guide for the most efficient program according to the size or type of load in your dishwasher.
By performing these regular tasks, you will ensure that your dishwasher remains free of hard water build-up that can cause serious problems with your appliance. It will reduce the need for hard water stain removal from your dishes and cutlery and save you time and money in the long run.

How much vinegar do you use to clean house?
Generally it is best to mix 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water, but you can use more vinegar for better cleaning power. I generally use straight vinegar to clean bathrooms, kitchen counters and when I clean the dishwasher every month, but for general cleaning I have a spray bottle of half water have vinegar and it usually does the trick.
Is it safe to mix vinegar with dishwasher detergent?
Yes, I do it all the time. I usually throw in a tablet and a cup full of vinegar in my dishwasher. I find it boosts the cleaning power of the detergent and I get much cleaner dishes as a result. I also use it as my rinse aid. With this combination, I find that I don't have to run empty cleaning cycles as I almost never get any buildup from the detergent/dirty dishes. The vinegar not only helps clean the dishes, but it also keeps your dishwasher clean.

If your sink was clogged and you put liquid plumber in it but when you plunged it the fluid went into the dishwasher and the after cycle is over and it stinks how do you get the smell out?
Vinegar. Run your dishwasher empty with a cup of vinegar sitting inside. On the rinse, stop it and run a cup of bleach through the rest of the cleaning cycle. It will clean your dishwasher and the pipes at the same time. For your sink, fill it 1/4 full of warm water and disolve 1 cup of baking soda in the water. Run your blender as you let the water out. Then follow with a cup of vinegar in both sides of the sink.
