How to fix cloudiness on glassware in my GE GPT225 Dishwasher?
Cloudiness can be caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent, resulting in etching, which is permanent. Use less detergent if you have soft water and wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean. It could also be caused by low performing phosphate-free detergent (see A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section) or water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeding 150°F (66°C), which could also be etching (lower the water heater temperature).
Why does my GE Dishwasher have spots and filming on glasses and flatware?
This can be due to several reasons. Extremely hard water can cause this issue; use rinse agents like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid, and consider a water softener if the water is very hard. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Avoid overloading or improperly loading the dishwasher (see the Loading section). Old or damp powder detergent can also be a culprit; use fresh, highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. Check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and refill it with a product like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid. Finally, ensure you're using the proper amount of a highly rated detergent.
Why is detergent left in the dispenser cups of my GE GPT225?
If you find detergent left in the dispenser cups of your GE Dishwasher, it's likely that dishes or utensils are blocking the detergent cup.
