This campfire's mis-lit in "General Discussion" instead of where it's supposed to be.

anyone with any knowledge, any ideas. plumbing/dishwashers.
for about three months my dishwasher stopped washing. (water flow looked good). the glasses and dishes had a film of soap. i started using things to clean out the whatevers... thinking clogged. called dishwasher guy and he didnt even open dishwasher. charged me 60 bucks and told me to buy crl. (i later learned no to that). i used crl, bought industrial dishwasher stuff and vinegar. nothing worked.
we bought another dishwasher. it, too, is not washing and has a film. i talked to two plumbers and they told me pressure or heat of water. i have one of those little box water heater things. one plumber told me to clean out water heater with vinegar. so gonna try, but all while telling me, he was saying should have nothing to do with it. hubby bought a water pressure gauge thing, and seems like pressure is right. though i have not trusted our city water or pressure for months.
plumbers are clueless. dishwasher people clueless. cant even get anyone to look at stuff.
dishwashers worked for decades in this house. not like they cant.
internet says nothing.
and i am NOT washing dishes by hand
has anyone had this issue.
Isn't the "seabeyond" primitive a 9-11er?
Or do I have her mixed up with some other primitive?

1. Even if you buy the same dishwasing detergent, some companies have changed their formulas and the lower-phosphate mixes can leave a white residue on glasses.

2. No, but I'll give you a kick in case someone else does. How frustrating. especially after you invested in a new one. And I am so with you on the "I am not washing dishes by hand." LOL. I can read the desperation in your voice.
What's so hard about washing dishes by hand?
And the "seabeyond" primitive's a
femme, remember.
Women like hands with soft skin.
Washing dishes by hand softens the hands.
<<puzzled as to what the big deal is here.
It's a reasonably large campfire.
