The Problem The Problem PROBLEM SPOTS AND FILMING ON GLASSES AND FLATWARE YELLOW OR BROWN FILM SPRAY ARMS DO NOT ROTATE FREELY POSSIBLE CAUSE Spotting can be caused by all these things: • Extremely hard water. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section.) • Low inlet water temperature. (See How to Test Water Temperature section.) • Overloading the dishwasher. • Improper loading. (See Loading section.) • Old or damp powder detergent. • Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section.) • Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See How to Use Rinse Agent section.) • Too little detergent. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section.) Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of detergent to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help reduce filming. Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water. An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron deposits in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem. Your water softener company can tell you about the filter. Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain. Remove spray arms and clean.
