There are several reasons why your dishes and flatware might not be clean. The Ultra-Fine Filter or Fine Filter could be clogged. The inlet water temperature might be too low. The water pressure could be temporarily low. The air gap or disposer might be clogged. The high drain loop or air gap might not be installed correctly. You might be improperly loading the rack, or you might be using a poor-performing detergent. Make sure that large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser or the wash arms. Normal water pressure to the dishwasher should be 20-120 psi. Use high quality detergents such as Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.

How to fix a white film on glassware, dishware, and the interior of my GE GDF650 Dishwasher?
A white film is likely caused by a low-quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent. To remove it, run a cycle with citric acid (WD35X151 kit found online) or use high-quality rinse agents like Cascade® Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner. Pour citric acid into the detergent cup, load filmed items (excluding silverware), and run a complete cycle without detergent. Alternatively, use a vinegar rinse: pour 1 cup of vinegar into the dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and complete the cycle. Repeat as needed. Use high quality detergents such as Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent to help prevent film build-up.
