Before we call a repairman or go buy a new dishwasher or water softener, I'd like to ask if someone has had the same problems we're experiencing with our GE dishwasher. We run the hot water before turning it on, used Jet Dry, Lemi-Clean hardwater spot remover, Cascade liquid, and Cascade all in one powder pouches, and all of these do not work. Either the dishes and silverware are not clean, or there is considerable spotting that can't be removed by hand washing. The dishwasher is 1 1/2 years old but has only been used regularly since this mid-May. has anyone had this same problem? Is it the washer, hard water, or are we doing something wrong? We had well water up north that was somewhat hard, but never had any problems like this. Any info will be appreciated.
