How to access and clean the filter around the food grider

I have a Kitchenaid KUDS25SHWH and the dishes are covered with a gritty film. Any standing water is very dirty. I've checked out the coarse filter and the fine filters under the spayer and those appear clean. We've change detergents, added rinse agents, increased the water pressure and raised the temp on the HW.

There is a soapy film on dishes and they are not getting clean, food is stuck on all dishes even after rinsing dishes and running cycle more than once

Change your dish washer detergent ... try something else ... could be a water problem ... but do the simple things first ...

Gritty film left on almost all dishes, rinse aid level seems to always remain at full, but apparently not rinsing well.

The problem is hard water. There is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water before it enters your dishwasher. It works amazing and has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look after the first load. It is also very affordable (like 70 bucks). Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com to find out more info.

My dishwasher is no longer cleaning properly. A

Clean out the area where food gets caught and consider using different dishwashing tablets - especially the Calgon ones which clean out the drains of teh machine whilst cleaning the dishes.

Alternitivly you should call in a plumber to clean the pipes (Or purchase the equiptment to do it yourself, there are often all-in-one cleaners that'll flush out the pipes)

Dishes not clean and some have gritty film after wash

Popular Science or Mechanical Ill. recently suggested to take the drain cover at the bottom of the unit off and use a shop vacum to clean and clear out the sludge and accumulation in that section it may **** up and solve the problem,at least it is worth a try.

Dishwasher rinsing with dirty water-help

Now is a good time to remove the spray arm and the filter/strainer underneath it. Clean everything you remove in the sink. With a flashlight, inspect everywhere in the sump area and remove debris (watch out for broken glass!) Inspect the impeller, making sure it is not broken and that is spins freely. While you are in there, look carefully at the heating element for damage and breaks.
Reassemble and test. If it continues to leave a film on the dishes (especially visible on the glassware) suspect the heating element (no kidding) If it is not heating during the final rinse and drying cycle, that is your main problem.
If problems continue when the heating element is working, then the wash motor is failing and needs to be replaced.
Good Luck, please post back here with what you find, OK?

Gritty white film all over dishwasher and dishes

Another way to descale your dishwasher is to use vinegar. This is also very inexpensive. Put a cup of vinegar into the dishwasher and run it, allowing it to go through all cycles. I would turn the heated dry off.
