In recent weeks the dishwasher has been leaving residue at the end of the cycle. We use 65 degrees cycle. We use finish and have recently used finish cleaning to help situation with no success

Detergents have changed. The link below explains how to get better results and what has happened to detergents recently.

Good luck.

Hi,

The scum, film and white residue problems have started since the reduction of phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

Here is a tip that will help you to solve the problem of films, residue, and scum in your dishwasher.

Dishwasher Residue and Film on Dishes

I had a similar problem - seemingly stuck or locked with a solid light showing (in my case on the 65 degree wash). Nothing seemed to unlock it. But when I closed it and went away to think about what to do next - some 5 minutes later - it made its end-of-cycle peeps. It now works fine. All I can think of is that I must have interrupted the previous wash cycle l was using before it had ended, and had left the door ajar. all it needed was the door closing for the cycle to finish. Does that help?

Try running a wash with a couple of caps of baby sterilising fluid. If the d/w is connected directly to the sink, remove the spigot and check there aren't any blockages. I run a dishwasher cleaner thru my d/w every 3 months and every couple of week I will load the machine for a wash, add tab to dispenser and just after starting a 65 degree wash, I will open the door and tip in approx one capful of sterilising fluid.
Good luck
baby fluid also good as a sluice wash for your washing machine on 90 degrees (w/m empty, approx every 4 weeks).

Use FINISH tablets and make sure your water is at least 120 degrees

Inspect for plugged drain screen. Sometimes you have to take apart the bottom area for access...

You should start using Electrol liguid dishwasher deterget, which comes in a container that dissolves when ittouches water. i've been using it for about a year, and it doesn't leave anything and my dishes look better than ever!

first if the pump is running and you can hear it washing it should clean now hot water cleans dishes not the washer the hotter the better at least 130-135 degrees modern dish washers use less water than older models so if you don't get the water as hot as you can stand it at the sink before you turn the washer on you can fill it with cold water second its important that you use jet dry and if your dishes aren't dry at the end of the cycle then on most washers you can turn the disp up for more hope that helps let me know
