I have a newer Maytag dishwasher. My glasses are gunky. I have tried different soaps, had a water softner installed, even poured vinegar in washer. Threw my wine glasses away and bought new. Of course, my other dishes are gunky as well. What can I do?
I ask for help. I need your answer.
I think there were a few people who said Lemi Shine from Walmart, it works great! I don't even use Jet Dry in my dishwasher with that stuff. We have very hard water and it makes a huge difference. We usually mix it with the regular detergent 1/2 and 1/2.
I would use less detergent and see what happens. The service guy told me when he was out that most people use too much in their washing machine and dishwasher, so I have cut back. I just got rid of my Maytag and I will never buy another one. Even the guy who came out and serviced it told me it was not worth repairing. Only 7 or 8 years old. I bought a Bosch and got a great price at Lowe's. Got a last season while they were having the new season come in. I am going to try to remember to buy my appliances in June and July in the future.
B....I would probably go to the Maytag people and ask them. I have never had a problem, but I do not have a Maytag either. M. B.
less soap?
i love trader joes dishwasher soap... good for the environment and our dishes come out clean!
i am having the same problem. i will be very interested in the responses you receive.
I would check the temperature of the water - is it getting hot enough? Also, is there a filter in the dishwasher that is clogged and not cleaning out the water impurities enough, or at the bottom, is there a clog in the drain system that is allowing leftover gunk to be re-distributed onto your dishes? If it is under warranty, I would call in a service order.
I have exactly the same problem...newer Maytag dishwasher which I love...but it looks like a film on all my glasses. We also have a water conditioner. I didn't try the vinegar...but since it didn't work for you...I don't have high hopes.
You might be using too much soap.....cut it down and try that, if that doesn't work, I have some great dishwasher soap that is eco friendly, and it works and smells great........www.greenteamdream.com - we carry things you use everyday, just switch stores!
Good luck, I went through the same thing until I switched.

We had the same problem and we bought liquid Cascade Complete with Bleach. By the 2nd wash, they looked brand new.
I love my Shaklee automatic dish washing detergent. been using it for 20 yrs. it's non-toxic too -- no toxic fumes when the dishwasher is running and no toxic residue on my glasses. this will take you to my page on kitchen products. http://tinyurl.com/mufqbf
call me if you'd like ###-###-####
We don't have a water softner and our glasses and all our dishes always had a powdery film on them and it was so gross. I felt like I had to rewash them by hand. So someone told me about a product I bought at walmart it's called Limon shine and yes its spelled Limon. It works great, although sometimes if you use to much your stuff tastes a little lemony!! I hope that helps.

Jet Dry makes a Dishwasher Cleaner product. It helps ours (we don't have a water softener) keep that gunk from building up in the dishwasher and then transferring to the dishes. Might try one!
I remember on another message board that I read that this problem could be caused by using too much soap. You don't need to fill the dispensers all the way. Filling 1/2 way is sufficient.
