stormwash dishwasher leaves a white chalky film on all my glasses after every wash

— asked by Jamie

DIAGNOSIS Hard water combined with insufficient rinse aid. The film is dried mineral residue.

FIX Fill the rinse aid dispenser (the cap next to the detergent cup) to the MAX line. Set the rinse aid dial to level 4 or 5. Use a good quality rinse aid like Finish Jet-Dry; it's non-negotiable with hard water. Also, ensure you're using a detergent designed for hard water.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK Your water might be extremely hard. Check if the internal water softener needs salt—this model doesn't have a user-serviceable salt reservoir. If hardness is severe, you may need to install a whole-house softener or use a dishwasher cleaner product monthly to dissolve scale.

HEADS UP Never use powdered detergent in this model if you have hard water; it exacerbates the filming. Use pods or gel only.
