I agree. It sounds like hard water deposits. many states have outlawed phosphate as an ingredient in dishwasher detergents, so the detergents don't work as well anymore. New product designed for this very problem. "Greenest" product ever...it's all-natural and comes shipped to use in a re-claimed water bottle!

SOURCE: GE Profile Dishwasher (5 years old); Leaving residue on dishes
There is a new product out that actually filters the water going into your dishwasher. My dishes came out amazing after the first load. No more cloudy glasses. I was very impressed. Who knows whats in the water cleaning your dishes so i thought this filter was great. It is very affordable and you can get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com. Hope this helps some people.
SOURCE: we get a gritty / sandy residue. what can I do?
The cause may not be your dishwasher.
Especially hard water may leave the residue. If you don't have that problem when you hand-wash, then check your pipes. Homes more than 40 years old may have galvanized pipes that eventually rust on the inside. The grit could be grains of rust from the pipes. If you do have galvanized pipes (rather than copper) then you may need to replace them. You could put in a filter as a temporary work-around, but that will eventually clog with the gritty material.

msbcox -- Check for residue in the strainer under the lower washbar. Remove the lower dish rack. Strainer is under washbar. Sounds like it is not draining properly. Write back if you need more help. -- SWT
