Well they have been changing there formula by removing phosphates and some of them add silica it's like a fine sand in them.The only Liquid detergent that have found that works is Palmolive Eco Gel.It's not as good Cascade complete used to be but out of all these new ones it works the best.I just don't like Gel detergents for dishwasher's every repair man that I have ever talked to say the gum up the machine.Do you use Jet Dry that might help also..

we have tried the palmolive eco gel and the dishes looked worse than when they went in! our jet dry dispenser is broken, so no we dont use it except when we get the kind in the basket that you hang from the rack. | ||

How about a model number? Dustin, I emailed you earlier but see you are here again so if you can add the model number it will help all of us to see what the actual design is of the machine and help to troubleshoot it for you. Even a BOL machine should do better than what youare seeing. | ||

We have used the Palmolive Eco Gel (Lavender) with STTP and got excellent results. Has anyone tried Walmarts Great Value with STTP? How does it do? | ||

The powdery residue happened to me when I tried a non-phosphate powder. It was not undissolved detergent,it was the calcium in the hard water combining with the washing soda forming calcium carbonate(chalk) on the dishes. Check your current package of soap and see-bet it's phosphate free. | ||

Soaking the affected items in vinegar should remove the offending residue! | ||

Dustin...
Have you tried Electrasol Finish powder? I've been using that for a while now and get great results with it. We have very hard water here and with a little Jet Dry, everything comes out clean and clear. Also, I always run the hot water in the sink to be sure that the water that comes into the kitchen for the sink as well as the dishwasher is also hot so it doesn't start the cycle cold.

BASIC GE DISHWASHERS
There is no food filter system in these machines, no power shower on top and no full wash arm under the top rack. I have found when I have used basic GEs they don't do nearly as thier better models. You have to load very lightly so water can really circulate to all areas and results can be satisfactory.
