Why are my glass glasses looking foggy when getting washed in the dishwasher?

i have tried jet dry and vingear and 2 different kinds of soap... any suggestionsWhy are my glass glasses looking foggy when getting washed in the dishwasher?
Try changing the brand of detergent. Your glasses may be getting etched rather than accumulating deposits. Cascade and Electrosol tend not to do this. Some areas ban phosphates, so that might be what is happening.Why are my glass glasses looking foggy when getting washed in the dishwasher?
This is going to sound weird, but it works, I swear!





Sometimes the dishwasher needs to be cleaned out. Sounds like some bad residue problems. Run the dishwasher through a cycle completely empty... but instead of using regular soap or a rinse agent, put 2 scoops of Tang (yes, the orange breakfast drink mix) in the soap dispenser.





Cleans it completely and clears any crud or buildup. AND it will also clean any discoloration inside the dishwasher.





[kind of makes you wonder if kids should be drinking it. LOL]





God bless!
This same thing happened to me when I had a frigidair dishwasher. It was super annoying, and I also found that my silverware had a funny coating after a while too. Don't use the heated dry and rinse your dishes really well after they are washed.





I never found a way to fix this, but luckily my dishwasher broke within 2 months of purchasing it, so I switched to a whirlpool model and I haven't had the problem since.
Have you noticed whether or not your jet dry is dispensing? There is an adjustment in the center of the area where you pour your jet dry. Look at this area and if it is set at 1 move it up a position or maybe two. Your dishwasher may not be dispensing the jet dry or not enough.


Check your water temperature at your kitchen fawcet. Your water temperature should be at least 120-140 degrees. If the temperature is not adequate enough, your detergent may not be disolving and etching your glasses. This could be an element in the dishwasher, hot water heater not turned up enough, or maybe your water heater has an issue.


Keep in mind that if you live in the country and you are purchasing detergent in town, the phospurus rating in the detergent may be different than what you need. Grocery stores will carry detergents that have a phosphurus rating for the area they are located in. Good Luck

Sounds to me like you need rinse aid. I thought rinse aid was a scam at first, just another ';accessory'; for the dishwasher but it does several things. If you have hard water it is brilliant for ensuring the water in your machine FULLY rinses your dishes allowing all soap build-up to be washed away. They also help the dishes dry faster, so you don't get those little white dots on them.





Some dishwasher detergents, powders and tablets claim that they have rinse aid in them, but i have found buying the separate rinse aid liquid works best. It's cheap and lasts for months!!! Check your manual for the location of your rinse aid compartment.





Hopefully this should help and your glasses will be *sparkling* clean!!!
