Film on dishes and inside dishwasher

My wonderful Bosch has cleaned beautifully for 3 years but recently there is a film inside the washer and on the dishes. I have cleaned the filter, added jet dry, changed detergent. Any ideas?

  • DHLR Jan 24, 2009

    We bought our Bosch SHE43M four months ago. It worked great for three months, then the white film started - all over our glasses and the inside of the unit. Bosch suggested putting a bowl of vinegar in the dishwasher and running it without dishes, then running the dishwasher 5-10 times w/o dishes. This cleaned the inside of the unit, but the first time we used soap again (1/2 teaspoon of dry soap), the film returned. Our rinse dispenser was full and turned down to 1. We have a water softener installed, so it can't be hard water. What next?

The problem is hard water. this is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system and it actually filters the water going into the dishwasher. i tried everything to get my dishes clean but nothing worked until i tried this system. my glasses all had a white, cloudy look to them and it was terrible. you can get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com. it is very affordable and works amazing. the filter fits right under the sink and solves the problem immediately. if you use the discount code DFMTEN you will get 10% off

Hi debstone

This is a common problem. what you should do first is pick up some GLISTEN and run it through on a full wash with NO dishes. the use electasol POWDER detergent and turn your jet dry down to 1. that should fix your problem. hope this helped

Not coming clean

Hi, Are you using Jet Dry Rinse Agent? It is very important to keep the washer supplied with this stuff. Otherwise, glassware will come out with a cloudy film and water spots. If you are using it, perhaps it is not being dispensed by the machine. I am having this trouble now, but my machine is about 10 years old, and has always turned out beautiful glassware unless it ran out of Jet Dry. Now, there seems to be a problem in my machine not dispensing it, and I was searching for a solution when I came across your posting. Baxterdog

Dishes are not coming out fully clean

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
