    That thing was FULL of mung.

    I cleaned it spotless with Simple Green. Now running a 1 hour wash cycle. I bet it helps.

    Our water is quite soft. The water alone never leaves spots. Just the DW was leaving a invisible film, a film that would suds up with just water.

    Googling not much help......but several did say clean the machine. :fingerscrossed::D

    Did you use the detergent pods? I tried the pods for a little while, but the membrane wouldn't dissolve completely and would gunk up the filter screens super quickly.

    I think we use Cascade, but it is in some pod form.

    That's odd. I'm going on 10yrs with my stainless Whirlpool and have not experienced those issues.
    Maybe it's the water thing.

    I've used both. Hard and plastic.
    Without rinse aid, the plastics will get spots.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Kitchen Aid for over 7 years here. It's been installed and moved several times. It's the one appliance we "had" to bring with use. Also utilize the liquid versus the pods.

    So after cleaning it perfectly the screen got a bunch of oozie screed on it again. Coming from inside I believe. Clean and repeat.

    I put up temporary metal stakes on the property line between my house and my next door neighbor to show a fence line. My wife has been after me to put up a fence to block the view
    of his unkept yard from ours. This guy is so dense I doubt it will sink in and he'll take the hint to clean up his overgrown weeds, trashcans and wooden gate-fence that is falling down.

    I've got a Bosch dishwasher, a water softener and use Cascade pods. There were a couple of times that things were funky and the solution was to wash the filter. I finally bought this
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Q3WUI..._k1_1_5&amp=&crid=3FJWZOAHFFX42&sprefix=bosch
    and swap the filters after every load. I just put the dirty filter in with the dishes. Since then there has never been any problems with the washer.

    It's taking me awhile to clean the whole thing. At least this last cycle the screen was much cleaner. Not perfect, but cleaner.
