Question posted by byer442 on April 22nd, 2017

Dishes, Glasses And Silverware Are Coming Out Dirty.

I have checked filter under the bottom arm and it is clean. I have changed dishwashing agent from the Finish pod back to Cascade liquid and (had changed from the Finish liquid to Cascade due to film issues) and Finish Jet Dry.It appears that all areas of the washer are we but cups and glasses are dirty on top shelf, dishes on top shelf less dirty.Dishes on bottom rack cleanest, but silverware often has a residue.
