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 you in a re-claimed water bottle! Ask for a free sample!

SOURCE: dishwasher Soap scum left on dishes

the problem is hard water. There is a new product out called The Dishwasher Filtration System. It filters the water going into your dishwasher leaving your dishes spot free with every load. It is very affordable and fits right under the sink. You will be amazed how sparkling your dishes look just after one load. You will love this product. Get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com.

SOURCE: Dishes come out with a white, chalky film, not very clean.

are you using palmolive eco liquid detergent? if so - google "palmolive eco white residue" and you will find out that your detergent is the culprit. the solution is to use 1/2 cup of vinegar in your rinse cycle and soap dish and STOP USING PALMOLIVE ECO!

SOURCE: Dishwasher does not clean well

If Rylee's above solutions do not fix your problem the filters may indeed be the problem. Start by removing the lower spray arm. There is no need to remove the arm from what I'll call the "arm base/cover assembly"; keep it clipped on.At the center of the arm is a knurled screw. It looks like a thin disk with several bumps on it, about 2 inches in diameter. It will unscrew (lefty-loosy) and allow removal of the arm assembly. At quick glance it appears to be a molded part of the arm but that's a clever disguise. Making this part a different color would be too helpful. What else would the Maytag repairman do it they made it easy for the do-it yourselfer?
Anyway, after removing the spray arm take note (or photos) of the visible parts, i.e, spray nozzle, 2 split plastic spacers. Be sure you'll be able to return these to their proper position later.
Remove the six torx (star-shaped) screws and lift the impeller cover off. Again note/photograph the position of remaining parts, i.e. filter, impeller. You will likely find the filter clogged with debris. It can be pulled out. On my model it is retained in a groove and take a bit of force to remove. I used water pressure (sink sprayer) and a toothbrush to clean my filter.
Remove any debris from the sump/ drain area. Reassembly is reverse of installation. Be sure to flush out the arm assembly to unblock all holes before re-installing it.
I hope this helps.

SOURCE: new dishwasher leaving powder residue on dishes.

Quit using the new Cascade. The formula change is what is causing the problem. No research from Cascade before releasing the product

I recently purchased a insinger 18-5 dishwasher, what type of detergents should I use ??

Follow the steps below to ensure proper dishwasher detergent selection and usage.

Use only powder, liquid or tablet detergent designed specifically for automatic dishwashers. Any other types may cause a sudsing and as a result, poor wash performance and possibly suds and water on your kitchen floor. GE recommends either Electrasol®, Cascade® or Cascade Complete® detergents.


Use the right amount of detergent for the job. Soft hot water requires less detergent - perhaps a quarter of a cup in the main cup. Very hard water requires a full main cup and a full open cup to get good wash performance. Conditions between these require judgment. Use enough to get the job done, but don't use more than you need.


Too much detergent in very soft water will cause etching of glassware. This is a permanent clouding of the glass. If you experience this condition, use less detergent.


Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Store the detergent in container away from moisture to prevent lumps. Do not put detergent in the cup until you are ready to run a cycle. If powder detergent gets old or lumpy, throw it out; it will not clean effectively. Liquid detergents do not age.


As a rule of thumb:
Harder water requires more detergent

Cooler water requires more detergent

Softer water requires less detergent

Hotter water requires less detergent

My glasses are turning white? thank you

This eventually happens to all glasses in dishwashers, especially if they're lead crystal. Only Pyrex and similar types of glass are somewhat resistant to the problem.

The whiteness is usually irreversible: it's caused by a craze of microscopic cracks in the glass surface, effectively etching the glass. There is only one occasional exception and that's where the fogging is caused by microscopic limescale deposits in the cracks when they're still not present in sufficient numbers to cause white fogging on their own. Adding a cup of white vinegar to the final rinse (if your dishwasher allows the door to be opened mid-cycle) usually clears such glasses, but is not a sure thing as those glasses are already damaged to some degree.

There are dishwashing powders/liquids/tablets which claim to be glass-friendly, but all they do is to delay the onset of glass etching. Even commercial glass-washing machines don't completely avoid the problem, but in commercial use glassware rarely lasts long enough to become cloudy.

You only have two sure ways to prevent this being a problem in future:-

1. Never put valued or lead crystal glasses in the dishwasher and to regard all others as replaceable items.

2. Handwash all glasses.

I hope that my speedy answer has met your requirements; please take a moment to rate my response.

I have a Bosch automatic dishwasher,SHU43C05UC/17. Usually I love it; but recently my glasses are coming out cloudy and the tea stain remains on my cups. I have used two different dishwasher cleaners...

If you have hard water, glasses can look spotted and cloudy even after cleaning. Sometimes changing the dishwasher detergent can help. The easiest solution to clearing up glasses that start to look cloudy is to add some vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher before you start a cycle. Simply add 1/4 of white vinegar and it will clear up your glasses very well.
You should see marked improvement after the first time you do this. If they are not crystal clear then simply repeat the process until all of the cloudiness is gone. In fact I recommend to using a little vinegar in each cycle to maintain the clarity of the glass.

Note: you can pre-test this by rubbing some vinegar on an individual glass with a cloth. If you cannot remove the cloudiness by soaking it and rubbing vinegar on it then it is possible that the glass is etched due to harsh or cheap dishwasher detergent and vinegar will not solve the problem.

Glasses in top rack are covered by an opaque film. Seems like the insides are collecting the most. I've tried the white vinegar wash and it worked the next time but the following load was worse.

Why do i keep getting deposits left in the cups and glasses on top shelf of my dishwasher ?

Hi

White film deposits are observed if water is hard or when you are using more detergent than needed, try filling detergent cup half way. Try using white vinegar after the wash cycle is complete, run a complete cycle. Also turn down the heat on the hot water fed to the dishwasher. Try using water softener for better results.
You can also add vinegar in the final rinse cycle.
Hope this helps... Please post back if more information is required.
