Hello we are getting a white chalky film on all of our dishes and the inside of the dishwasher. We have tried everything we can think of, including different detergents, dry aids, temp cycles, etc. Nothing seems to help.
Any suggestions

Dishes have a chalky white residue after cleaning, especially on aluminum pots. This model was installed a little less than a year ago and the residue started appearing a few weeks ago.

Chalky dishes in dishwasher

Are you in a location with "hard" water, meaning that the water has alot of minerals in it like calcium? If so, you may may need to get the water treated with a water softener system, either at the dishwasher or for the whole house.

Chalky dishes in dishwasher

the problem is not the dishwasher but the water that actually is going into it. the white, powder substance is because of hard water. there is a affordable product out there called the dishwasher filtration system. it will filter the water going into your dishwasher and solve the problem once and for all!!! it is affordable and easy to install. www.dishwasherfilter.com
