Use a rinse agent - Jet Dry is what I use, works quite well. 2.) Try running some citric acid crystals through at the same time or in a separate cycle. these will get rid of most mineral deposits in your washer very nicely. the old time trick used to be using Tang - but you can spare the sugar and food dye by just using the citric acid. It's available at moist grocers in the canning supplies aisle.
