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.
If soaking or cleaning with vinegar works then try adding some to each cycle to see if the clarity of the glasses improves.

We purchased this unit in 6/10. It leaves a film on my plastics and does not get my dishes clean (glasses, silverware). I use Cascade complete and jet dry. I don't know what is wrong. Please help.
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 toadd some vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher before you start a cycle. Simply add 1 cup 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.

Film left on glasses. doesn't seem to clean any dishes very well, expecially silverware.
Two other possible causes are a high mineral content in the water, or depending on the silverware, they maybe getting etched.

Use a Rince Aid to eliminate this problem. Don't use powder or old dishwasher soap.

Etching on the glass ware and the dishes don't come clean.
Dishes may not be getting enough rinse water. Had the same problem before I replaced inlet valve. My fisher packel was 3.5 years old before I replaced the inlet valve due to a knocking noise, but It still ran through cleaning cycle without any alarm codes.

Dishes have cloudy film on them
Try this. I want you to run your dishwasher empty, on the hottest water setting. Let it fill and just before it starts the wash cycle put in three cups of white vinegar. I expect your jets are clogged and the vinegar should hopefully open the jets back up. You don't need to add soap during this cleaning process. Works just like when you clean your coffee maker.
