One buy dishwasher cleaner or run bleach in it. But the reason why is because of hard water the hard water makes the soap stick to everything. And you might be using tomuch soap only use the main side not both and make sure you us jet dry.

Look at the film you can see, now think about the film you can't it's pritty sick

ok i run a appliance repair company DENTON appliance and your problem is simple you have a water temp problem the are two thermo sensor under the bottom of the tub one or both are bad causing the heater not to come on to heat the water. it could be a bad heating element but you would be able to see a burned spot on the element. it takes hot water to remove the soap film this should fix your problem.

Hi there,

Here are a couple of things that you can try:

If there is hard water residue or film left on the dishes:
Check water hardness.
If the water is hard, use maximum detergent or try pouring 1/4 cup of Dishwasher Magic into the bottom of the dishwasher. I would also recommend using the High Heat option to ensure proper cleaning. To clean the dishwasher, use a cup of vinegar and place it in the upper rack.

Detergent carryover:
Check water hardness.
If it's below 10 grains, use less detergent and the High Heat option.

It is also possible that you may have a problem with the drain loop check valve as it's not sealing. This may cause residue or food to be left on the dishes. For this, I would recommend you have a technician do it, as it requires replacing the entire drain loop.

Let me know if any of this solves the problem.

Run the unit with no soap, after about 5 min. of run time open door and check to see if water is clear or soapy,If soapy then you are having an oversudsng issue.When your washer gets to rinse cycle, your unit (if oversuding),will be rinsing with soapy water and the the drying cycle bakes the soap on dishes.You might be having a white film on your clear glasses.Cut down on soap especially if you have soft water.powder soap is best.Your dishwasher will fill , wash , the drain.Its what you put into it that will cause dishes not become clean.
