It almost looks like the detergent is not washing away completely. I use Cascade powder and I use that Jet Dry rinse aid stuff. Is there some way to remedy this?

Run the dishwasher with only vinegar in the soap and rinse aid dispenser.Make sure they are not clogged, and have no dried old soap, etc. in them.
Should do the trick.

Most likely it is the water temperature. The others may want you to believe that a rinse agent will solve this problem or a different soap but that is the most common mistake people make about washability problems. The rinse agent will help to prevent spotting not filming. Changing from a powder soap to a liquid or gel or tablet usually does little to no difference. Check your water temperature. The temperature should be at the minimum 120 degrees F. inside the dishwasher. To check temperature you must allow the unit to fill and empty at least once before you want to take a reading. Allow the water to fill and then stop the unit simply by opening the door and using a type of thermometer that is made to immerse in liquid. Slosh it around in the water in the bottom of the tub for at least 30 sec. and take a reading. Some dishwashers are designed to pause and heat the water for the main wash as well as for one of the rinses. On some with this feature you can select to use or not use this feature it is better to select to use this feature as it will ensure that you have hot enough water to clean the dishes properly. I have found through the years that gas water heaters or summer/winter water heating on oil burners are the most notorious for allowing the water temperature to get cooler through time. If either one of these is what you have heating your water you may need to in the case of a gas heater turn the knob up slightly or in the case of the oil burner have a service check and clean or replace the water heating coils.

Try vinegar, 1/2 cup right in the bottom of the dishwasher, this works for me whenever that starts happening, and it's way cheaper than Jet Dry. And I switched to the gel Cascade as well. You can get that at the Dollar General Store.

I had this problem, looked on the package of dishwasher degerent, it said to add more detergent if it kept leaving a film. So I did, and the film went away. I doubled the amount I was using, by adding it to the extra cup most dishwashers have for just that reason.

It partly depends on your water. I had the same problem with Cascade and had to change to Sunlight. Might want to try another brand and see if that helps. Also, I use just a small amount of white vinegar sometimes in the second rinse. Hope this helps.

Your wash water maybe too hot. Try cold water.

Um.. I suggest handwashing your dishes like I do.

It might be your water itself. I would test your water and see if its got extra calcium or something in it!
