This is due to a detergent issue, you need to run a dishwasher cleaner in it. You can pick some up at any hardware store. The brand I use is called dishwasher magic, you place it in the lower rack and a wax plug melts mid cycle, I would buy atleast 2 of them. Dishwasher soaps have changed and you film is due to the change in detergent

Run 2x bottles of Dishwasher Magic 1x per each wash. You can pick this up at your supermarket. Run on normal cycle without any dishes. Kills 99.9 bacteria and cleans out dishwasher.
Also make sure your not using rise aid and detergent with rise aid in it. To much rise aid will cloud the dishes as well.
Have a great day!

The problem is hard water. There is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water before it enters your dishwasher. It works amazing and has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look after the first load. It is also very affordable (like 70 bucks). Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com to find out more info.

The new washer is drying the dishes faster that the old one,Try setting it to no heat dry and see if that helps,if so you will need a water softener or filter for the water line to the washer.

Although I previously posted with the same problem of a film on the dishes after cleaning, I did find a section in the owner's manual which solved my problem. Lift up the rinse aid cap on the inside door - the factory setting is on "4". The rinse aid works in conjunction with your local water, which has variations in it's hardness or softness. When your dishes are streaky, lower the rinse aid setting to 1 or 2. If your dishes are spotted, raise the rinse aid setting higher.
