Residue on dishes/glasses - Hard water? How to clean?

Do you have hard water? Many states have passed laws that outlawed phosphate as an ingredient in dishwasher detergent. If you have hard water, the detergents don't work very well anymore. The residue is probably hard water deposits (calcium and magnesium). Not harmful but it looks awful on your dishes. There are some new products that were designed to solve this exact problem. They are inexpensive and effective. Can't say the name or I'll get banned (again). Internet search will uncover it.

before loading the dishes rinse it first outside then wash the complete cycle and instead of powder use the liquid one

Make sure you use a drying agent as well a good brand name dishwasher soap.

I would suggest calling whirlpool to have a tech come out and look at it. Your appliance is still under warranty if it is under 1 yr old. It will cover parts and labor.

They are called "rinse agents". Another brand is "Jet Dry". These chemicals cause water to be more slippery and sheet off your dishes, rather than stick as droplets. Some websites suggest you can use plain vinegar as an alternative, particularly if you are battling hard water.
