From Whirlpool:
*Film is due to either etching or silica film. Silica film is a milky, rainbow-colored deposit and etching is a cloudy film. Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware.
o Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Both can occur in any automatic dishwashing machine and result from a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. They are caused by some combination of:
+Soft or softened water.
+Alkaline washing solution.
+Insufficient rinsing.
+Dishwasher overloading.
+Heat of drying.
+Long/hot cycles.
To slow the process:
*Use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tablespoon per load.
*Use a liquid rinse aid. See special offer below.
*Under load the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing.
*Do not use heated drying.
*Wash glasses by hand.

It's either the detergent you're using, the water you've got, or you haven't added the rinsing agent to the reservoir.
If you're getting a milky film on inexpensive glassware, you'll be happy to know that you've probably etched the stuff permanently. In any event, read the owner's manual. If you don't have one, enter the make and model number of the machine into Google and see if there's an on-line version.

Run your dishwasher empty and pour in a cup of clorox and a cup of vinegar to get the residue out.....run a regular cycle.......How hot is your hot water tank set on???? The hotter the water the better a dishwasher works......cut your powder down and make sure to use Jet Rinse Aid (there will be a spout for it in the door most likely)......should take care of your problem......

Sounds like a mechanical problem. Bad pump, blocked lines, bad water heating element. Sounds like a service call. I agree that 4 years is about the the half life of a dishwasher these days.

1. do you have rinse agent
2. clean out the drain.
3. if you have a food disposal, run hot water through it and turn it on to clear it out before you turn on the dishwasher. The dishwasher drains into that sink. If you notice food or dirty water backing up into you sink when the dishwasher is draining, then the sink is clogged and it is backing up and being resprayed onto your dishes.

Turn up the heat on your water heater. Use only half as much soap as you are using now...and use rinse aid like jet dry.
