detergent
What To Do
Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the
wash cycle.
Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F
and 150°F.
These are all normal. No action is required.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the Loading
section.
Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid
bumping against inner door during wash cycle.
To remove the white film, run your dishes through a
dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151
citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use
Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the
cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and
dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other
metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on
and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent.
The glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out
film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1
cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup
opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed.
The use of a rinse agent such as
Rinse Aid may help minimize a repeat build up of film.
Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as
Quantum Automatic Dishwashing Detergent
®
prevent film build-up.
