We have a Gibson built-in dishwasher (apartment size 17" approx). It is probably 10-13 years old. Our glasses, dishes, silverware all have a white coat on them when the wash is finished. I have tried white vinegar and a Finish product. We have not called a technician because we are considering remodeling our kitchen and the dishwasher would be replaced.

If you have hard water, glasses can look spotted and cloudy even after cleaning. Sometimes changing the dishwasher detergent can help. The easiest solution to clearing up glasses that start to look cloudy is to add some vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher before you start a cycle. Simply add 1/4 of white vinegar and it will clear up your glasses very well.
You should see marked improvement after the first time you do this. If they are not crystal clear then simply repeat the process until all of the cloudiness is gone. In fact I recommend to using a little vinegar in each cycle to maintain the clarity of the glass.

Note: you can pre-test this by rubbing some vinegar on an individual glass with a cloth. If you cannot remove the cloudiness by soaking it and rubbing vinegar on it then it is possible that the glass is etched due to harsh or cheap dishwasher detergent and vinegar will not solve the problem.

Etching on the glass ware and the dishes don't come clean.

Dishes may not be getting enough rinse water. Had the same problem before I replaced inlet valve. My fisher packel was 3.5 years old before I replaced the inlet valve due to a knocking noise, but It still ran through cleaning cycle without any alarm codes.

7-8 year old KitchenAid washes dishes on bottom, but not on top

Position the spray arms in a certain position. Activate the dishwasher for a few seconds and then examine the position of the spray arms. If the upper spray arm has not moved, then either there is no water coming to the spray arm or the spray arm is clogged.

White film on dishes, glasses and silverware.

white film is actually from the calcium and magnesium found in hard water. your dishwasher is fine. its the water leaving the residue and spots. go to www.dishwasherfilter.com . they have a new product out exactly for this reason. very affordable and works amazing. you will love it.

Dishes come out with a white, chalky film, not very clean.

are you using palmolive eco liquid detergent? if so - google "palmolive eco white residue" and you will find out that your detergent is the culprit. the solution is to use 1/2 cup of vinegar in your rinse cycle and soap dish and STOP USING PALMOLIVE ECO!
