White film or cloudy residue on dishes and glassware after washing.

Safety First: No internal service required; this is typically a water quality issue.

• 1. Verify water hardness: If you have hard water, use a rinse aid and consider a water softener.
• 2. Adjust detergent: Use the recommended amount of high-quality detergent for your water hardness.
• 3. Increase water temperature: Ensure the water heater is set to at least 120°F (49°C) and pre-run hot water at the sink.
• 4. Clean existing film: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe container on the top rack.

If residue persists, inspect spray arms and filters for clogs that may reduce rinsing effectiveness.
