How to prevent spots and filming on glasses and flatware in my GE GPT225 Dishwasher?
If you're seeing spots and filming on your glasses and flatware in your GE Dishwasher, it could be due to several reasons. If you have extremely hard water, use high-quality rinse agents such as Cascade® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid; a softener may be required. Also, make sure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Avoid overloading the dishwasher and ensure you are loading it properly. Old or damp powder detergent can also cause this issue, so use fresh, high-quality detergents such as Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. Finally, check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and refill it with a high-quality rinse aid. Ensure you're using the proper amount of highly rated detergent.
What causes cloudiness on glassware in my GE GPT225?
Cloudiness on glassware in your GE Dishwasher can be caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent, which is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this, use less detergent if you have soft water and wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean. It may also be caused by low performing phosphate-free detergent or water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeding 150°F (66°C), which could also be etching, so lower the water heater temperature.
