I have a hotpoint dishwasher BF1620,its leaving a film on everything at the end.

Is the inside of the dishwasher clean? Have you emptied the filter and cleaned the jets in the spray arms?

Hi,

The scum, film and white residueproblems have started since the reductionof phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

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

You can experiment with different tablets/powders and check that the salt and rinse aid dispensers are correctly adjusted, but all dishwashers eventually cause glass to go cloudy and although it's a gradual process there's a point at which it suddenly seems to become noticeable. Any lead crystal glass will cloud very quickly indeed so must be handwashed if you want to avoid this. The cloudiness in glass is irreversible as it's caused by millions of microscopic cracks in the glass surface. Some crockery items are glazed with a process which can also turn cloudy over time in a dishwasher, white plates won't really show it but coloured ones do (especially blue and red). There are some tablets/powders which claim to have a glass protection additive, but this just slows down the process. The best way to slow the process is to wash at the lowest temperature you can.

try using clr on the cycle without anything in it ,it will rince all the calcium in your dishwasher

Try cleaning the machine by adding white vinegar to the wash water (before the water-fill procedure finishes). Put your stained dishes and cutlery in with the wash to remove the hard water deposits. The combination of salt and rinse aid may have helped cause this problem. Hope this helps!

try connect a water filter (carbon and particle), and connect the machine on output filter, mormaly resolve this problem. Some old houses has water supplie problems, as dirty water, and contamined problems, check for water purity.

could be several things... usually it just needs rinse aid.. all dishwashers spot or leave dishes cloudy without rinse aid.. or your water is just to hard, in that case you will need to soften it with salt, check the owners manual to see how that is done.. also run the dishwasher right after you put the dishes in, if you leave them for a day to wait to fill it up then the dried food gets like cement.
