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

DishwasherResidue and Film on Dishes

The problem is most likely that there is still water residue at the bottom of your machine. If the machine is not fully drained it picks up some of the residue and sprays that onto the dishes during the final rinse, leaving an unhealthy and unsightly film on everything.
Remove the bottom strainers and make sure that there is nothing obstructing the outlet pipe and the pump. If possible back flush through the outlet pipe and try draining the machine again before using it again.

You are not getting your rinse cycle. It sounds like your wash cycle is starting, then stopping if yo get grit. I take it you are using powder detergent. That is where the grit comes from. It should all dissolve by the end of the wash cycle, which leads me to believe the wash cycle is not finishing. And it sounds like the rinse cycle never occurs. You may have a bad timer which enables each cycle, if I had to guess.

the cloudy residue is hard water. go to www.dishwasherfilter.com. they have a great new product to solve this problem.

hello. this will help a great deal.

First of all empty out your dishwasher, toss in two cups of plain white or cider vinegar and run it on the highest and longest cycle.

Always run the hot water in the sink first and start the dishwasher only when the water is as hot as it will get.

This wash will clean out your dishwasher thoroughly.

Then always do your dishes after you have rinsed any residue off of them before placing them in the dishwasher and I always recommend the pot scrubber cycle if you have one.

you need to check out this new product designed especially for this problem. it is guaranteed to work! it filters the water going into your dishwasher removing the hard minerals that cause these spots. get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com

The cloudy residue that is left on your dishes is soap that has not completly broken down.

There are a few solutions to the problem. First off, you want to ensure that you are using the "high temp wash" option. This will boost your water temp during the wash cycle to ensure that all the soap breaks down.

The second thing that you want to do to give your dishwasher a boost, is run the hot water in the sink and make sure it's pipping hot before you start your dishwasher. What this will do is ensure that the water that goes in for the "pre wash" portion of the wash is hot and will improve the wash quality.

Good luck!

check your fill valve.

check if the residue are soap or not. residue could be from water tank or water itself.
