Put a cup of vinegar in it, and run a cycle. Do this without soap and without dishes in it. Helps to remove any soap build-up, and loosen any hard water deposits.

If you do have soap build-up (the walls feel chalky or slimy), then you need to use less soap. You don't have to completely fill the detergent cups.
